Colts’ Shane Steichen offers encouraging injury update on Pro Bowl veteran defensive tackle

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.

This, of course, is how casual […]

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 […]

The Colts must avoid laying the egg
The Colts get a chance to win on two fronts this coming Sunday. A win over the Chiefs, likely keeps KC out of the tourney that might as well be named for them over the last 7 years. No one will have stuck a fork in them, but it would put them at 5 – […]
Josh Downs and the art of moving the chains
Josh Downs has established himself as a great option on third down and the best one on the Colts.
