Colts pass rusher Laiatu Latu is quietly coming into his own
Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts‘ 2024 first-round pick is quietly emerging. Laiatu Latu was his draft class’s first defender selected at 15th overall; therefore, expectations were set by fans and analysts alike — he simply must be the best defender, and no grace period for acclimation is allowed. This, of course, is how casual […]

Offer up your “One line” recap of the Colts week 12 matchup with the Chiefs.
Ya’ll know that I am old, right? I have (and use) a flip phone and only a Facebook page as a connection to anything considered social media. Given that, it should not come as much of a surprise that I listen to the radio on my 20 mile commute, to and from work each day. […]
Colts-Chiefs will go a long way towards shaping the AFC playoff picture
Week twelve in the NFL means a lot of things. By this point, there is a strong sense of who is good, who is not, who is a contender, and who is picking out locations for the 2026 draft party. We already know so much because every team has played at least ten games. Week […]

The Colts must avoid laying the egg
The Colts get a chance to win on two fronts this coming Sunday. A win over the Chiefs, likely keeps KC out of the tourney that might as well be named for them over the last 7 years. No one will have stuck a fork in them, but it would put them at 5 – […]
Josh Downs and the art of moving the chains
Josh Downs has established himself as a great option on third down and the best one on the Colts. One big reason Josh Downs looks so good on money downs is that the Colts’ offense keeps third down manageable. Indy is sitting near the top of the league in third-down conversion rate, and team pieces […]

Michael Pittman Jr. on Alec Pierce: “The price keeps going up.”
Unsung hero, underappreciated, unexpectedly fast — these are just a few words that aptly describe Indianapolis Colts’ wide receiver Alec Pierce. Being known for his blazing speed is one thing, and being regarded as a ‘deep threat’ in the NFL is equal parts complimentary as it is derogatory, except somehow, they go hand in hand; […]
Sauce Gardner is looking forward to ‘putting on a clinic’ alongside Charvarius Ward
Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts, specifically their defense, underwent an overnight transformation with one phone call. After months of inconsistent play in the passing game on defense, Colts general manager Chris Ballard secured the biggest move of his tenure by trading two first-round picks and second-year WR AD Mitchell to the New York Jets […]

The Broncos beating the Chiefs might turn out to be good news for the Colts
If an Indianapolis Colts’ fan watched the Denver Broncos host the Kansas City Chiefs, they may have found themselves rooting for the Chiefs. That makes total sense.

According to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, the Indianapolis Colts are signing former Baltimore Ravens veteran defensive tackle Chris Wormley to their practice squad: With All-Pro stalwart DeForest Buckner out at least until Week 15 on the road against the Seattle Seahawks on injured reserve, the Colts could eventually be activating some veteran interior defensive line […]
Did the Colts lose the bye week?
The Indianapolis Colts did not play in the NFL’s Week 11 slate, but they still took a loss of sorts. Although Indy’s commercial break from regularly scheduled programming allowed them to reset both mentally and phyiscally, they had to sit back and watch the rest of the league fight for playoff seeding. As a result, […]
Colts-Chiefs opening odds: Colts have another shot at statement win
The Indianapolis Colts and Kansas City Chiefs have been running in different NFL social circles over the last seven or so years.

What’s not to love about Colts’ Tyler Warren?
Shh…Don’t tell anyone, but Tyler Warren might be my favorite Colts player. Yes, Jonathan Taylor is stealing the headlines right now. Stealing…? Ok, not stealing, but you get the idea. All the talk is about Taylor and well deserved. He is ripping off huge runs, breaking franchise records, and carrying this team at times. The […]
