An Indianapolis Colts blog
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 […]

According to head coach Shane Steichen, Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle DeForest Buckner will undergo season-ending surgery on his herniated disc and be placed on injured reserve (via NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport): When it rains in Indianapolis, it seems to pour with injuries, as the Colts are already without starting quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) for the […]

The Indianapolis Colts today released their Wednesday injury report for Week 17 of the NFL season against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Center Tanor Bortolini missed practice today due to a concussion. Bortolini had entered the league’s concussion protocol.

Stock Up Alec Pierce & Josh Downs The Colts’ young wide receivers carried most of the load on offense against the Niners, with Downs leading the team in catches and first downs, and Pierce having a rebound game after a quiet stretch posting over 85 yards and two touchdowns. I expected more from Tyler Warren […]
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Minnesota Vikings have claimed recently waived Indianapolis Colts backup quarterback Brett Rypien off waivers, with starter J.J. McCarthy (hand) already out this week: Before this past Monday’s primetime game, the Colts waived Rypien, who had previously been signed to the active roster a week prior to serve as […]
It’s shaping up to be another disappointing season as this once promising campaign concludes, but it’s possible that the Indianapolis Colts could still be well represented at this year’s Pro Bowl Games. The Pro Bowl games will be held during Super Bowl LX week on Tuesday, February 3rd, in the San Francisco Bay area, and […]
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 […]
According to head coach Shane Steichen, the Indianapolis Colts (8-7) will continue to start 44-year-old starting quarterback Philip Rivers against the Jacksonville Jaguars (11-4) at home this week—even after dropping two in a row, and their playoff hopes currently on life support (per The Athletic’s James Boyd). While the Colts remain winless with Rivers through […]
What a difference a matter of just weeks can make. On November 22nd, after a blistering (and surprising) hot start, the Colts sat at 8-2, featuring a historically prolific league scoring offense, and were the toast of the AFC—as the best team in the conference record wise. The Colts had recently completed the trade deadline […]
8-7, season basically over, no 1st round picks for the next two seasons, and yet another season without playoffs for Steichen & Ballard. This one was to be expected, the Niners are a very good football team, with an excellent head coach, and the result of the game was never really in doubt. On to […]
Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts are in a far too familiar position heading into the offseason, as they once again find themselves sitting firmly on the quarterback carousel that’s plagued them for the better part of general manager Chris Ballard’s tenure. An added layer to the equation, however, is that of wide receiver Alec […]
Two Indianapolis Colts players were selected to represent the AFC at the 2026 Pro Bowl Games, including running back Jonathan Taylor and left guard Quenton Nelson. Both foundational pieces to the stampede sporting blue will start, giving Indianapolis a pair of offensive starters in the league’s annual showcase. Players were voted in by a combination […]
That was rough. On one hand, the offense for the Indianapolis Colts looked solid with Philip Rivers running the show. It was a far cry from what we witnessed in Seattle as the ball was thrown down the field, the receivers found plenty of space to work with and were targeted at a much higher […]
The Indianapolis Colts are meeting a familiar face in a must win game in week seventeen. If the game against the 49ers wasn’t brutal enough for the defense, this one might be worse as the Jaguars are rolling into town red-hot. This is an absolute must win for the Colts. A win this week, coupled […]
The tightrope finally snapped inside Lucas Oil Stadium on Monday Night Football as the Indianapolis Colts suffered a fifth straight loss in a 48-27 blowout against the San Francisco 49ers. What began as a hopeful holiday stage to showcase what was the league’s most explosive offensive unit entering the Week 11 BYE, has turned into […]
The desperate Indianapolis Colts (8-7) were fighting for their increasingly slim playoff odds, but if you want to blame someone after falling to the San Francisco 49ers (11-4), 48-27, on Monday Night Football, don’t blame grizzled veteran Philip Rivers (i.e., ‘Grandpa Phil’). The 44-year-old longtime veteran quarterback, who shockingly unretired two weeks ago and had […]
Game result: The Colts came up short against the 49ers and dropped to 8-7 with the loss. They are officially eliminated from AFC South contention, but remain alive in the wild card race. They are two games back of the Texans. The Colts host the Jaguars and travel to face the Texans the final two […]
Indianapolis, IN — Clinical, surgical, teach tape: these are just a few words that accurately describe Philip Rivers’s opening drive in primetime against the San Francisco 49ers.

It wasn’t so long ago that Jonathan Taylor was the front runner for Offensive Player of the Year and a sleeper pick for MVP despite being a Running Back. But the past month has done him no favors in his candidacy for either award. In his 4 games since the Bye Week, Taylor’s stats have […]
The Indianapolis Colts (8-6) host the San Francisco 49ers (10-4) on primetime (8:15 PM EST) trying to keep their late season playoff hopes alive.
