Erickson (@JoelAErickson) November 25, 2025In Anarumo’s first season as the Colts’ defensive play caller, this unit ranks ninth in points per game allowed. Indianapolis is also seventh in yards per rush and 15th in yards per pass surrendered. The Colts are also near the top of the NFL in interceptions.Anarumo runs a malleable and quick-to-adjust defensive scheme that adapts to what each opponent is doing and what his players do best.
