Colts LBs coach weighs in on rookie CJ Allen’s complete lack of initial playing time
Once a projected starter, Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker CJ Allen was limited solely to the sidelines for what many thought would be his pro debut during last weekend’s blowout home loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Colts’ green dot gaffe falls firmly on coaching staff’s shoulders
Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen indicated earlier this week that veteran linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither would wear the defense’s lone helmet transmitter, and thus, be denoted with the infamous green dot for rapidly communicating the defensive play-calling to his teammates on the field.

The green dot allows one defensive player to hear the call from defensive coordinator Lou […]
The Chiefs dismantling the Broncos has some Colts fans sweating
The Denver Broncos had one of the best defenses in 2025. It’s what carried them to a No. 1 seed in the AFC. Sure, it might have been a bit of a down year for the conference but there was no denying their defensive prowess. Teams change and personnel is different every year, but what […]

Can an optimist be optimistic after the Colts’ opening day loss?

Colts start the season on sour note, with “clunker” home loss to Baltimore
It’s one game, but if the Indianapolis Colts lay a few more consecutive “clunkers” like that, and the already hot seats of both longtime general manager Chris Ballard and head coach Shane Steichen will only get hotter in-season.

What went wrong on defense against the Ravens?
The Colts spent the offseason talking about urgency, change and a defense that was supposed to look better under Lou Anarumo in Year 2.
