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 […]
Colts’ Shane Steichen offers encouraging injury update on Pro Bowl veteran defensive tackle
According to head coach Shane Steichen, he’s “very optimistic” that Pro Bowl veteran defensive tackle DeForest Buckner will return this year (via 1075 The Fan’s Kevin Bowen): Unfortunately, Buckner won’t be eligible to return off injured reserve until Week 15 at the earliest on the road against the Seattle Seahawks, as he has to miss […]
What is the backup plan if Daniel Jones can’t go for the Colts?
Let’s make this a quick article. There is no backup plan if Daniel Jones gets injured. Zero. The backup plan, as flawed as it may be, is currently healing a broken orbital bone after being smacked in the face during pregame warmups. That was it. That was the whole plan if Jones went down at […]
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 […]
PFF says Colts Sauce Gardner ‘remains gold standard at starting cornerback’ before Week 12
According to PFF’s John Kosko (subscription), recently acquired Indianapolis Colts All-Pro Sauce Gardner remains ‘the gold standard at starting cornerback’—after his Week 10 debut in Germany for the Horseshoe: Sauce Gardner remains the gold standard: Gardner’s 28% forced incompletion rate and 44% completion rate allowed both rank third in the NFL. His 13.8% open-target rate is […]
Indianapolis Colts Injury Report: QB1 Is Limited
The Indianapolis Colts today released their Thursday injury report for Week 12 of the NFL season against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Quarterback Daniel Jones was limited at practice today with a calf injury. Jones was not in the injury report yesterday, so it would appear as if he injured his calf during practice. […]
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 […]
Indianapolis Colts Injury Report: CB Ward and LB Carlies Return To Practice
The Indianapolis Colts today released their Wednesday injury report for Week 12 of the NFL season against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Linebacker Jaylon Carlies was a full participant today at practice. Carlies has been on injured reserve all year with an ankle injury. The team announced they were opening the 21 practice window […]
Colts’ Tyler Warren, Josh Downs tackle food insecurity with Feeding America
As the holidays quickly approach, Indianapolis Colts playmakers Tyler Warren and Josh Downs are making an impact both on and off the field. Partnering with Feeding America and FedEx, Warren and Downs joined FedEx team members to help pack and assemble meals at Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, a massive facility that helps provide 56 […]
