FILM ROOM: How the Colts Attacked Jesse Minter’s Defense in 2025

Before we get into this, let’s establish what this isn’t. This isn’t intended to be a systemic review of Jesse Minter’s defense or a declaration that Shane Steichen has somehow cracked the code on Baltimore’s Head Coach and his defense. We’re looking at one game, played with an entirely different group of players in Los Angeles. But when the Colts faced Minter’s Chargers in Week 7 last season, Steichen got the better of him, and quite frankly kicked the shit out of his defense. With Baltimore opening the season against Indianapolis on Sunday, there’s value in going back to that tape and looking specifically at how Steichen attacked Minter’s tendencies, where he found answers and what we can learn from it heading into Week 1.
