The Indianapolis Colts have five former players named among the 26 modern-era semfinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026: running back Frank Gore, defensive end/outside linebacker Robert Mathis, quarterback Philip Rivers, placekicker Adam Vinatieri, and wide receiver Reggie Wayne. Both Gore (2015-17) and Rivers (2020) had short stints in Indianapolis, and […]
Colts make roster moves with WR Ashton Dulin missing multiple weeks with injury
The Indianapolis Colts announced on Tuesday that wide receiver Ashton Dulin (hamstring) has been placed on injured reserve, and the team signed veteran safety George Odum to the 53-man active roster from the practice squad in a corresponding roster move. The Colts also re-signed released cornerback Cameron Mitchell back to the team’s practice squad. Dulin […]
Colts’ Week 12 QB Analysis: This is what I was afraid of
Thanks to the nflFastR project, Pro Football Focus and NFL NextGen Stats for the timely sources of data. For those of you new to this, I will publish key QB stats each week judging how well the Colts’ QB performed. Yes, O-Line, receivers, and play-calling impact these numbers but they are primarily QB measures. I will probably modify the […]

Report: Lou Anarumo an early target in Giants’ head coach search
According to NFL Insider Josina Anderson, a league source claims Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo is expected to receive legitimate consideration for the New York Giants’ head coach opening. A league source says Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo is expected to receive strong consideration for the Giants head coach vacancy this upcoming cycle, while […]
After three straight subpar performances, is the Colts’ panic meter starting to climb?
If you ask Shane Steichen or any of the players if this is the time to panic, the answer would be a resounding “no”. After starting the season 7-1, the Indianapolis Colts find themselves at 8-3. In a vacuum, 8-3 is pretty good. Considering where this team was projected to be, 8-3 is fantastic. It […]
Colts’ Stock Up/Down: Week 12 @Chiefs
Stock Up Laiatu Latu This has been Latu’s breakout year after a somewhat pedestrian rookie season. Through just 10 starts (missed one with an injury), Latu has 44 total pressures with an 18.1% win rate, 6 sacks, and added three interceptions dropping into coverage. Against the Chiefs, Latu had an interception on a tipped ball […]
STC Brian Mason has revitalized the Colts’ special teams unit
Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts have played complementary football for the majority of the 2025-26 season thus far, the first time in recent memory that they’ve been able to play high-level football in all three phases. There have been lulls at times, with the most recent example coming in a Week 12 loss in […]
Is Shane Steichen Gun-Shy about using Jonathan Taylor?
At first the premise of this question seems silly. Jonathan Taylor is leading the NFL in carries and is 2nd behind only Christian McCaffrey in touches. If that workload isn’t a ringing endorsement of the Colts star back’s ability to handle a large role in the offense, what is? But diving deeper and there is […]
Colts’ head coach Shane Steichen explains decision to take ball first in overtime
Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen explained his controversial late game decision to take possession of the football first in overtime offensively after the Kansas City Chiefs tied it up 20-20 at the end of regulation (via 1075 The Fan’s Kevin Bowen): To be fair too, there is at least some debate on whether the […]
Did the Colts lay half an egg?
I’m not willing to accuse the Colts of laying an egg this week. We just experienced what the rest of the league has felt for the last six or seven years, in that it is an extremely low odds proposition to go into Arrowhead and beat that team in a win or go home game. […]
Shane Steichen’s myriad of mistakes cost the Colts against the Chiefs
1. Not using Jonathan Taylor in the 2nd half Jonathan Taylor has been to the Colts what Mariano Rivera was to the Yankees: a closer. He leads the league in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, yards per attempt, first downs and yards per game, and he’s been the number one running back in the NFL in […]
Monday Morning Awards: Week 12 @Chiefs
8-3 after a lackluster performance by an offense that despite putting up record numbers on the first half of the season has been sputtering as of late. This one hurts because the Colts were close to beating a potential playoff rival away from home, but they just could not finish, and in the end it […]
Colts-Texans opening odds: This one got a lot more interesting
Just a few short weeks ago the Indianapolis Colts were riding high and the Houston Texans were being left for dead by many. After losing two out of three and watching the Texans surge, this week’s matchup just got a lot more interesting. The Jaguars refuse to go away, and the Texans are catching up. […]
Colts’ Jones, Steichen share blame for late offensive ineptitude in tough OT road loss to Chiefs
The Indianapolis Colts were up 20-9 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and their defense had just recovered a timely Kareem Hunt fumble with 14:48 left in the 4th quarter near their own 17-yard line—thwarting yet another potential KC touchdown scoring drive. It appeared as though the Colts were poised to deny Patrick Mahomes yet another […]
Colts offense humbled in Kansas City, chance for learning experience
The Indianapolis Colts‘ offense began the season on a historic pace. Head coach Shane Steichen had seemingly resurrected quarterback Daniel Jones, running back Jonathan Taylor kick-started his MVP campaign, and the offensive line was mauling defensive fronts at will. Through seven weeks, the Colts’ offense was the most efficient offense by points per drive this […]
AFC Playoff Picture: Indianapolis Colts fall further behind AFC lead with loss
The Indianapolis Colts lost in Week 12 and the New England Patriots won, meaning Indy is even further away from regaining the top spot in the conference they lost on their bye. The Denver Broncos are on the bye and remain second. The Los Angeles Chargers also stay in their spot on the bye. The […]
Colts squander late lead in OT loss to Chiefs
The Indianapolis Colts fell apart late in Sunday’s 23-20 overtime loss as quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs erased an 11-point deficit to storm back in stunning fashion at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs ran 91 offensive plays, compared to the Colts limited to just 50 plays. Kansas City (6-5) outgained Indianapolis 228-18 over […]
Week 12 Colts vs. Chiefs Game Thread
The Indianapolis Colts are on the road to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in week 12 of the 2025 season, kickoff is at 1:00 p.m. EST. Fresh off of their bye the Colts travel to take on the 5-5 Chiefs. This Chiefs offense struggles against man coverage and has struggled to run the football this season. […]
Colts announce inactives for Week 12 against the Chiefs
The Indianapolis Colts announced their inactives for Week 12 on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs, with no real surprises ahead of this critical AFC clash among potential conference contenders: It looks as though undrafted rookie Jonathan Edwards, who’s made 3 starts for Indianapolis this season, is currently the ‘odd man out’ in the […]
Where to Watch: Colts at Chiefs for Week 12
The Indianapolis Colts (8-2) travel to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the Kansas City Chiefs (5-5) (-3.5) at 1 PM EST for a key AFC clash down the season’s final stretch run here. The Colts lead the league in scoring (at 32.1 avg. ppg.) while their defense surrenders the 9th fewest points (20.6 avg. ppg.)—and […]
Report: Colts recently worked out two wideouts ahead of KC game
According to LockedOnColts’ (and former Stampede Blue contributor) Jake Arthur, the Indianapolis Colts worked out two wideouts ahead of Sunday’s road game against the Kansas City Chiefs: Cole Burgess and Jaylen Johnson. The 6,0”, 200 pound Burgess was signed by the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted rookie free agent back in 2024, but has yet […]
Colts will have key All-Pro cornerback returning against Kansas City
The Indianapolis Colts announced on Saturday that veteran cornerback Charvarius Ward has been activated off injured reserve just in time to take on his former team, the Kansas City Chiefs, on the road at Arrowhead. The Colts waived fellow cornerback Cameron Mitchell from the active roster in a corresponding move. After suffering his second concussion […]
Mahomes vs Anarumo: Game 7
The most anticipated Game 7 since the NBA Finals some months back, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is set to face off against defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. This rendition of an unstoppable force versus an immovable object features a book with six juicy chapters published already, with the series’ conclusion set to end this […]
Indianapolis Colts Injury Report: LB Carlies Ruled OUT, CB Ward Is QUESTIONABLE
The Indianapolis Colts today released their Friday injury report for Week 12 of the NFL season against the Kansas City Chiefs on the road for Sunday. Linebacker Jaylon Carlies has been ruled OUT of Sunday’s game against the Chiefs with an ankle injury. Carlies had his 21 day practice window opened and even managed a […]
