The front part of the 2026 schedule for the Indianapolis Colts is loaded: Ravens, Chiefs, Texans, and Steelers headline the toughest matchups.

Can the Colts secondary overcome a less than dominant pass rush?

Full disclosure, when it comes to the “Which came first” query that is transferred from the chicken or the egg to coverage or pass rush, I always pick pass rush.

This is the first instalment in a series reviewing every Colts draft class of the Chris Ballard era, starting with his first class in 2017.

The Colts need another Wide Receiver.. Here’s who could fit them

The Colts built a high-powered offense last season by avoiding reliance on one player to carry the load.
