Joseph said the team used its bye week to, "reset, refocus and improve."

He noted the challenges presented with an opponent like Indiana, and how they're a problem for the team's defense.

"Indiana's offense presents a lot of problems — 104 snaps versus Cincinnati last week," Joseph said.

Joseph also discussed interim defensive coordinator Bill Busch's performance in his new position.

"We eliminated some things we did in the past, but Bill's not out there by himself — the D-line coach, lineback coach and the secondary coach are all working together, and they're working together well," he said.

"Bill's sharp... he's a great teacher and that's what you gotta be to be a good football coach," Joseph said.

He also said beating Indiana is the team's number one goal.

"It's really important for this football team — just to get some confidence that they can start something and finish it."
