Colts playoff picture: Where Indianapolis stands after Week 15
The Indianapolis Colts nearly sprung an upset of the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15, but even with the loss, they still have a shot at a playoff berth. Indy has shot at both the AFC South title and a wild card berth, but they’ll need some help after Week 15’s results. The schedule does not […]
Philip Rivers, Colts defense almost lead increasingly banged up squad to shocking upset win in Seattle
With 47 seconds left and replacement kicker Blake Grupe drilling a 60 yard field goal in the chilled Pacific Northwest air, it looked like the Indianapolis Colts were about to do seemingly the impossible—shocking the world in the process. Go into Seattle and beat the 10-3 Seahawks, who deploy one of the league’s best defenses […]
Philip Rivers makes NFL return, but Colts playoff hopes diminish after fourth straight loss
The Indianapolis Colts dropped a fourth straight game in Sunday’s tough 18-16 road loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Colts playoff picture: What Week 15 vs. Seahawks means for AFC standings
The Indianapolis Colts were in the Emerald City this weekend, facing the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field. The biggest story was the return of long-retired Philip Rivers.

Lou Anarumo’s Colts defense played inspired against the Seahawks
Entering the game, the Seattle Seahawks were the NFL’s second-highest scoring offense, averaging 29.8 points per game. Against the Indianapolis Colts defense, however, Sam Darnold and Co. were tested. The Seattle Seahawks are known as a second-half team, as they often take a beat to warm up; therefore, a one-score deficit (6-13) entering halftime was […]
Colts got shades of vintage Philip Rivers in his first half back
The NFL world was understandably caught up in the Philip Rivers returns saga this past week. Coming out of retirement after five years away warrants being the storyline of the week — or in this case, the remainder of the season — and all of the hype surrounding it was valid. While he undoubtedly had […]

Colts at Seahawks: Week 15 Inactives
The Indianapolis Colts announced their Week 15 inactives for this Sunday’s road game (4:25 PM EST) against the Seattle Seahawks—with maybe one minor surprise: Interesting enough, Colts linebacker Jaylon Carlies, who was reinstated from injured reserve last week—and did appear in the game down in Jacksonville, is a healthy scratch—having not appeared on this week’s […]
Where to Watch: Colts at Seahawks for Week 15
The Indianapolis Colts (8-5) travel to the Pacific Northwest to take on the Seattle Seahawks (10-3)(-13.5) to try to keep their late season playoff hopes alive.

Colts QB Daniel Jones may reportedly face shorter timeline for Achilles recovery than expected

Philip Rivers returning to the Colts is the thing of movies

Colts reportedly inquired on Derek Carr, Sam Ehlinger among other QB replacement options
According to Outkick’s Armando Salguero, the Indianapolis Colts didn’t just reach out to recently re-signed quarterback Philip Rivers among retired veteran options, as the team also reached out to Derek Carr: “Why are the Colts doing this? Start with the fact they called other quarterbacks to gauge their interest in signing. They called Derek Carr, […]
Familiarity between Philip Rivers and the Colts warrants such a move
Indianapolis, IN — There’s almost no way to shake the Philip Rivers signing as being the definitive best possible option moving forward, yet somehow the familiarity between him and this current Indianapolis Colts team suggests that maybe it is. The initial absurdity of such a move is undeniably valid, but when you peel back the […]
Re-signed veteran QB Philip Rivers will wear a familiar number for the Colts again
