The Indianapolis Colts won a crucial game in Week 15 over the Pittsburgh Steelers to improve to 8-6. 

In a dominating performance, there were multiple players in consideration for this week's Colts Player of the Week, but one player stood above the rest. 

Colts Week 15 Player of the Week: 

E.J. Speed, LB

This week's Colts player of the week goes to LB E.J. Speed. Speed led the Colts with ten total tackles, nine solo, and forced a fumble on the day that ended as a turnover in favor of the Colts. Speed picked up right where he left off in Week 13 before an injury would force him to miss Week 14. 

The Colts are getting elite play from their LB duo of Zaire Franklin and E.J. Speed, and it has to make them feel vindicated in their decision to increase Speed's workload after their bye. His play recognition has been next level, and he has now led the Colts in tackles in his last two games. His hard work paid off with one of the best punchouts you will see in the NFL. 

Week 15 Stats: 

E.J. Speed: 10 total tackles, 9 solo tackles, 1 forced fumble
