An Indianapolis Colts blog
I am going to look at this question from the thought process that we will be signing Daniel Jones to a contract for some yet to be determined length and dollar amount. I may lose some of you with that declaration, but I struggle to endorse a different route. Of course the DJ injury brings […]
What a season 2025 was for the Indianapolis Colts. To call it a roller coaster would be a lie because those have ups and downs scattered throughout. The Colts literally made the climb to the first major hill and then plummeted down. The ride was over as quickly as it had begun. This was a […]
The final chapter of the Indianapolis Colts 2025 campaign will be written by a 23-year-old rookie making his first NFL start. When rookie quarterback Riley Leonard takes the field on Sunday against the Houston Texans, he will become the Colts’ eighth different season finale starter in the last eight seasons. The list of eight starters […]
Indianapolis, IN — A pair of former Indianapolis Colts legends — wide receiver Reggie Wayne and kicker Adam Vinatieri — were announced as finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 2026 Class. With fifteen total modern-era finalists in the equation, there are caveats and rules in place to ensure a seamless operation. Below is […]
This was the season it was finally supposed to change. The Colts had found a leader in Daniel Jones, a true starting quarterback. The offense was clicking, Jonathan Taylor was an MVP-candidate, the defense was doing much better, and the Colts were not only winning games, but destroying opponents, climbing to an AFC leading 7-1 […]
Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts are turning to rookie quarterback Riley Leonard in their final game of the season against the Houston Texans, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. After three games of the Philip Rivers off the couch experiment, a last-ditch effort that provided a good story if nothing else, it’s the rookie’s time […]
There are certain conversations NFL teams don’t want to have, but are forced into anyway. The Colts’ situation with Michael Pittman Jr. is one of them. Pittman is a good player, a respected leader, and someone who has done everything asked of him since arriving in Indianapolis. This isn’t about questioning his toughness or professionalism. […]
According to head coach Shane Steichen, he hasn’t had conversations yet regarding his coaching future with team owner and CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon yet, but the two organizational leaders continue to chat weekly (via 1075 The Fan’s Kevin Bowen): Honestly, this isn’t exactly surprising given that the Colts still have one game of football left to […]
According to head coach Shane Steichen, the Indianapolis Colts are taking a ‘wait-and-see’ approach with 3rd-year quarterback Anthony Richardson regarding whether he’ll be activated off of injured reserve ahead of the team’s regular season finale game on the road against the Houston Texans (per The Athletic’s James Boyd). Specifically, given that Richardson is still experiencing […]
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter on ‘The Pat McAfee Show,’ he believes that the Indianapolis Colts are “banking on” injured pending free agent starting quarterback Daniel Jones “being back.” Specifically, it’s Schefter’s opinion right now that the two sides will reach agreement on a new contract, and Jones will be ready for the start of […]
On Monday, the Indianapolis Colts announced that the team has signed former Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Seth Henigan to the team’s practice squad. Henigan had reportedly tried out for the Colts a few weeks ago. The listed 6,‘3”, 215 pound quarterback was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Memphis by the Jaguars this past […]
8-8, the losing streak continues, and this team keeps finding ways to lose. A cultural reset is clearly needed, starting from the general manager all the way down to the key players. This team is not going anywhere the way it is built, and to top it all off the Colts don’t have their first […]
The Indianapolis Colts have recently become known as a franchise that isn’t afraid to forge a unique path. They brought in an ESPN analyst in the middle of the season to be their interim head coach. Not Jeff Saturday’s fault, but that act set the scene for a 1-7 finish to the year. Look no […]
Another season of Opening Odds is in the books. While it isn’t the way any of us would like to see the season end, I hope you enjoyed it. The Indianapolis Colts are set to conclude their season with a rather meaningless road contest against the Houston Texans who ended the Colts’ season Saturday night. […]
With Sunday’s 23-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Indianapolis Colts left the home finale with a familiar sting that has defined how each season is destined to end. The Colts winless drought reached six straight games down the home stretch and they will miss the playoffs for the fifth straight season following another late […]
Another game, another loss, for the Indianapolis Colts, who saw a once promising 8-2 start, snowball to a shocking 8-8 record for their latest annual season collapse—having now lost six straight games. Of course, by virtue of the Houston Texans beating the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday, the Colts already knew they were eliminated from […]
Having officially been knocked out of playoff contention again, the Indianapolis Colts (8-7), and specifically team owner and CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon and her two sisters, will face some tough decisions this upcoming offseason. Chief among them is expected to be the job security of longtime general manager Chris Ballard, along with other key leadership positions […]
The Indianapolis Colts are at home to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in week 17 of the 2025 season, kickoff is at 1:00 p.m. EST. The Colts season is effectively over. A year that started with so much hope, so much promise and it’s gone. All of it. There’s just not much to say. Another year of […]
The Indianapolis Colts announced their inactives for Week 17’s home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, with no real surprises: The Colts had already declared starting center Tanor Bortolini (concussion) and rookie backup defensive end JT Tuimoloau (oblique) out before the weekend, as well as downgraded right guard Dalton Tucker (shoulder) to out yesterday. Veteran backup […]
Having been officially knocked out of playoff contention, the Indianapolis Colts (8-7) will host the division leading Jacksonville Jaguars (11-4)(-4.5) at 1 PM EST (FOX) with seemingly nothing left to play for, except for franchise pride. The Colts will continue to start unretired longtime veteran quarterback Philip Rivers behind center, who leads an offense that […]
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Indianapolis Colts (8-7), having already been eliminated from the playoffs, could start rookie quarterback Riley Leonard in place of longtime veteran Philip Rivers next weekend on the road against the Houston Texans: Obviously, this makes a great deal of sense for the regular season finale. This will presumably […]
In Week 17 of 2025 our Indianapolis Colts will host the Jacksonville Jaguars. Knowing the party was coming to town, I sat down with Gus Lodge of Big Cat Country, SB Nation’s Jaguars blog. You can find him on Twitter @gus_lodge or @duval22dotcom. We swapped questions and answers about both the Jaguars and the Colts […]
Saturday update: The Colts were officially eliminated from playoff contention when the Houston Texans beat the Los Angeles Chargers 20-16 on Saturday evening. The Indianapolis Colts may or may not be in a do-or-die situation in Week 17 when they host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Their playoff picture could be settled on Saturday afternoon […]
The entire fate of the Indianapolis Colts could be decided around 7:30 EST on Saturday in a game they don’t even play. The Colts lost their say in what happens to them a few weeks back when their slide became overwhelmingly long. Now, their season hangs in the balance, and the Houston Texans have a […]
The answer to that question really starts on Saturday night as the Texans have a chance to make the Sunday game against the Jaguars, only important to the Jaguars. Should the Texans lose, only being inferior to the Jags should be the reason for a Colts loss. The Colts would again hold their destiny in […]
