I have definitely been critical of our secondary, but they played great yesterday.
The Passing yards are meaningless. The late TD doesn't even matter. The bottom line is that the Colts scored 24 points yesterday and it took 57 throws to do it. We avoided big plays, forced them into check downs, got off the field on 3rd down, and stiffened up noticeably on our side of the field.
The biggest two players on Defense were undoubtedly Mario and Okoye, but Eugene Wilson also played great, and all of the DBs tackled extremely well. And that was what ultimately allowed us to force them into the short stuff and punish manning for dropping back 60 times.
Great gameplan and even better execution.
