Let's take a look back at the Indianapolis Colts' Week 15 performance against the Seattle Seahawks with Pro Football Focus' highest and lowest graded players from this game.

Below is a look at PFF's grading system for some context. While this metric is very helpful when it comes to quantifying a player's performance, PFF's grading system isn't the be-all and end-all either. It is one metric out of many that are out there.

  • 90.0+: Elite
  • 80-89.9: High quality
  • 70-79.9: Good
  • 60-69.9: Above average
  • 50-59.9: Average
  • 40-49.9: Below average
  • 39.9 or less: Poor

Now, here are the Colts' five highest graded players on offense and defense from Week 15, along with which three players overall received the lowest grades.

Colts' five highest graded players vs. Seahawks​

  • OT Bernhard Raimann: 81.1
  • TE Mo Alie-Cox: 79.2
  • C Tanor Bortolini: 72.4
  • RB Ameer Abdullah: 71.7
  • WR Michael Pittman: 64.4

Raimann left early with an injury, but in his 34 snaps, he graded out well against the run and allowed just one quarterback pressure. Shane Steichen provided an injury update on Raimann on Monday.

Bortolini didn't allow any pressures on Sunday and had a run blocking grade of 70.6. Alie-Cox didn't have any targets, but had a run blocking grade of 73.9.

Abdullah led the Colts in receiving with five receptions on five targets for 32 yards. Pittman had three receptions for 26 yards.

Colts' five highest graded players on defense vs. Seahawks​

  • S Nick Cross: 77.7
  • DE Samson Ebukam: 77.6
  • DE JT Tuimoloau: 73.1
  • CB Kenny Moore: 73.1
  • DT Grover Stewart: 70.9

Not surprisingly, there are three defensive linemen in the top five. The Seattle running game did very little against the Colts' defense. With that said, the pass rush unit for Indianapolis struggled to create any steady pressure.

Cross had a very good run defense grade as well and made seven tackles. He did, however, allow four catches of five targets for 53 yards.

In 28 coverage snaps, Moore wasn't targeted once.

Colts' three lowest graded players vs. Seahawks​

  • LB Austin Ajiake: 35.6
  • DT Chris Wormley: 39.7
  • DT Adetomiwa Adebawore: 43.7

Ajiake played only two defensive snaps -- so I wouldn't read a ton into his grade. He allowed one catch for six yards.

Between Wormley and Adebawore, the two combined for 37 pass rush snaps and totaled two quarterback pressures. Neither graded out well against the run either.
