INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Colts fans have been raving about the team's defense this season. And, why not? They are playing some of the best defense in the league.

On Tuesday night, during a taping of the Bill Polian Show, the Colts president agreed that this season's squad is the best defensive unit he's had in Indy for some time.

"Yeah, I think so. They are playing very well cohesively. We withstood the loss of three of the four starters in the secondary, which I don't think in years past we would come close to being able to overcome. And we're playing a lot better up front against the run, particularly,” said Polian.

The Colts return to work on Wednesday, getting ready to play host to the 49ers on Sunday. The Colts game against San Francisco is the first of three straight home games.
