Colts Daniel Jones season-ending Achilles injury sets up team’s latest QB conundrum

With Daniel Jones’s unfortunate season-ending Achilles injury during Sunday’s loss, the Indianapolis Colts are once again between a rock and a hard place at starting quarterback—and not just for the immediate future. Having Anthony Richardson still recovering from a fractured orbital bone, and no clear timetable for his return, the Colts, who are currently out […]

Are the Chris Ballard era Colts destined for mediocrity?

Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts are somehow amidst yet another organizational collapse, reaching unprecedented new lows that were previously viewed as unimaginable. The well-documented falloff has been nothing short of unfortunate. Seemingly doing the right things to put a playoff team together, this return to normalcy has been humbling. But how does the franchise […]

Colts’ Monday Morning Awards: Week 14 @Duval

8-5, three losses in a row, and once again the Colts would have been better off just forfeiting the Duval game in advance.

Colts have another harrowing loss in personal house of horrors that is Jacksonville

The Indianapolis Colts suffered another consecutive loss in Jacksonville, having not beaten the Jaguars in Duval County since 2014. Indianapolis handedly lost 36-19 in Jacksonville, but that wasn’t even the primary cause of concern for the Colts’ blues on an exorbitantly rainy day in the ‘Sunshine State.’ Rather, starting quarterback Daniel Jones suffered a potential […]

Colts rookie QB Riley Leonard shows poise in first NFL scoring drive

The Indianapolis Colts had been unraveling as of late, particularly offensively.

Why the Weather in Jacksonville Should Change Everything for the Colts

Weather doesn’t usually dominate NFL conversations, but it absolutely should this week in Jacksonville. Forecasts are calling for persistent rain, cooler temperatures, and a damp field throughout the day. That combination matters a lot. When the surface is slick and the ball is wet, the game slows, margins tighten, and teams that insist on playing […]

Colts’ Players to Watch: Week 14 @Jaguars

Kwity Paye It is just so hard to judge Kwity Paye, because he is not bad by any means, but his impact as a pass-rusher is almost non-existent, save for perhaps one or two plays a game where he manages to get home, and it’s not like he is a wrecking force against the run […]

Is this week’s game against the Jaguars a must win for the Colts?

Technically or theoretically speaking, it really doesn’t matter. This week’s game for the Indianapolis Colts is a must win if they want any shot at winning the division or even making the postseason.
