Alec Pierce’s prolonged absence is killing the Colts
The Indianapolis Colts are facing a bit of a crisis at the wide receiver position. Michael Pittman Jr. was traded this offseason. He didn’t seem to have his best stuff anymore, but that one still hurt. Alec Pierce was tabbed to be the next man to take over the reins as the number one receiver. […]
Colts sign veteran pass rusher Carl Lawson to practice squad
The Colts added some veteran help to their defensive front Wednesday, signing defensive end Carl Lawson to the practice squad. Indianapolis also released tight end Kenny Fletcher Jr. from the practice squad to make room for Lawson, who had previously worked out for the Colts on Sept. 23. The timing is pretty easy to understand. […]
Where’s CJ Allen?
The Colts used their first pick of the 2026 NFL Draft on CJ Allen because they believed he could play early. Chris Ballard called him an athletic, fast MIKE and said Allen would be a “green-dot guy for us from the get-go.” Indianapolis liked him enough at No. 53 overall that Ballard considered trading down […]

Colts’ Week 4 QB Analysis: What was that?!
Thanks to the nflFastR project, Pro Football Focus 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 charts throughout the season. […]
Colts will be without starting defensive end for a while
According to head coach Shane Steichen on Monday, the Indianapolis Colts will be without starting defensive end Arden Key “for a while,” with a hamstring injury suffered during their Week 4 win in London against the Washington Commanders (via FOX59/CBS4’s Mike Chappell): During 4 starts in his debut Colts campaign, the 30-year-old veteran starter has […]

Horsepower or Horseplay? Colts’ performances from Week 4 win across the pond
After an initial sloppy start, the Indianapolis Colts (2-2) righted the trolleybus offensively, took advantage of a rookie 3rd-string quarterback defensively, and bested the Washington Commanders (1-3), 30-13, in London this past Sunday—now back to playing .500 football for the first time this season. We’ll look at some of the studs, duds, and maybe a […]
Colts Monday Morning Awards: Week 4 vs Commanders (London)
The Colts shook off an ugly first quarter and leaned on their run game to walk out of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a convincing 30-13 win over the Washington Commanders.

The Colts won, but Daniel Jones needs to get a grip
The Indianapolis Colts found some much-needed fortune in London as they managed to beat the Washington Commanders and climb to 2-2.

Stampede Blue Reacts Survey Results
Following a nail-biting win home win against the Houston Texans, the morale for Indianapolis Colts (1-2) fans may be slightly improving ahead of an international London game versus the Washington Commanders (1-2) this weekend on Sunday morning.

The Colts’ Strength of Schedule is evolving.
We all know that preseason strength of schedules are not an exact science. They are most often based on the previous year’s record, while sometimes someone will look at projected win totals for the coming year. Those projected win totals are tricky with the .5 associated to each team. What we can say, is that […]
Colts’ Keenan Allen downgraded to OUT for London game with groin injury
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen was downgraded to OUT with a groin injury and will miss Sunday morning’s affair against the Washington Commanders in London.

Colts Week 3 Film Review: Tough Win vs. the Texans
As I’ve had time to sit with Sunday’s result, I feel pretty much the same way as I did when the clock hit zero. Yes, the Colts finally won a game, but they won a game in a way that they haven’t in a long time. Ugly vs. a good team. The Anthony Richardson era […]

Hopefully, the Colts remembered to pack their newfound defense
Toiletries? Check. Clothes? Check. Identification? Check. There are a few travel essentials any time one leaves home for a trip. Going overseas can heighten the stress to ensure everything is in the suitcase before walking out the door because although you can probably pick up toothpaste at your final destination, doing so is a pain. […]
