Colts offense catches turnover bug, ball security becoming an issue

The Indianapolis Colts‘ vaunted 2025-26 offense has come back down to earth in recent weeks. After eight straight weeks of historic efficiency, Indy’s offense has caught a turnover bug of sorts. In the past two weeks, QB Daniel Jones and company have turned the ball over eight times, double the amount of turnovers they committed […]

Colts rookie TE Tyler Warren comes up clutch in Berlin

The 2025-26 Indianapolis Colts offense has been a shell of itself in recent weeks. After virtually never turning the ball over through the team’s first eight weeks, the turnover bug has struck Indy’s offense in a bad way. Not only that, but the unit’s otherwise seamless operation from the first half of the season has […]

Colts Injury Update: NT Grover Stewart being evaluated for concussion

Early in the third quarter in Berlin, Germany, Indianapolis Colts starting nose tackle Grover Stewart collided with Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier and is now being evaluated for a concussion. Stewart was down on the field for a bit before heading to the Colts’ sideline medical tent. Not only is Stewart’s potential absence a […]

The Indianapolis Colts (7-2) are set to kick off against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin, Germany, at 9:30 AM EST, for the league’s first game held in the country’s capital. There weren’t any unexpected inactives announced by the Colts: The only interesting name is rookie running back D.J. Giddens, who since opening the season as […]

Week 10 Colts vs. Falcons Game Thread

The Indianapolis Colts are abroad in Munich Germany to take on the Atlanta Falcons in week 10 of the 2025 season, kickoff is at 9:30 A.M. EST. Last week our Colts walked into Pennsylvania and were dominated by the Pittsburg Steelers. It was an odd turn of events for a squad that had been on a run […]

Where to Watch: Colts host Falcons in Berlin

The traveling Indianapolis Colts (7-2)(-6.5) will host the road Atlanta Falcons (3-5) in Berlin, Germany, at 9:30 AM EST, hoping to start their latest winning streak.

Colts Reacts Survey Results Week 10: Hear about that big trade?

Even after their four game winning streak was snapped in Pittsburgh, Indianapolis Colts (7-2) fans are still confident that their team is headed in the right direction—92% to be exact: For good reason why too, as even after the recent tough road loss, the Colts still sit atop the AFC and made a blockbuster move […]

Colts hope they found the secret “sauce” to a championship run

No, that isn’t Josh Downs out there. A new number one has joined the Indianapolis Colts and is slated to be the number one starting cornerback for years to come. A position that is essential in football is now locked down and will look to lock down the game’s top receivers. Sauce Gardner came at […]

Indianapolis Colts Injury Report: Defensive Line Missing Three

The Indianapolis Colts released their Friday injury report today for Week 10 of the NFL season against the Atlanta Falcons in Germany. Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner has been ruled OUT for Sundays game against the Falcons with a neck injury. Buckner was ruled out earlier in the week due to travel but was placed on […]

Colts will be without their best defensive lineman for next few weeks

The Indianapolis Colts announced on Friday that the team has placed standout veteran defensive tackle DeForest Buckner on injured reserve with a neck injury. The 31-year-old had already been ruled out for Sunday’s game in Berlin, Germany, against the Atlanta Falcons, but the Colts will be without arguably their best defensive player until at least […]

The OTHER MVP Cases (Besides Jonathan Taylor)

Dear Stampede Blue Reader, As you might have noticed both on our dear SB Nation site and elsewhere on the internet, the conversation around Jonathan Taylor has changed dramatically as of late. From becoming the Offensive Player of the Year favorite a few weeks ago, to now being discussed as a legitimate MVP Candidate (if […]

Colts’ Players to Watch: Week 10 vs. Falcons

Matt Goncalves Goncalves had a rough game against the Steelers, being dominated by veteran Cam Heyward all game long, failing to open holes in the running game and getting pushed around in pass-blocking. This Colts’ offense need their offensive line to be working well to be competent (as all offensives do in the NFL, but […]

Colts pass rush to improve by adding Sauce Gardner to the mix

Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts sent shockwaves throughout the NFL after adding superstar cornerback Sauce Gardner by way of two first-round draft picks and second-year wide receiver AD Mitchell. While the Colts’ cornerback room is the biggest benefactor of such acquisition, another unit among the defense is an underrated winner: the pass rush. Obviously, […]

Breaking Down the Colts Massive Trade for Sauce Gardner

I was going to break down the Steelers game for my film breakdown this week, but I had a feeling the Colts were up to something. So I held off—and good thing I did. The Colts capped off their most aggressive acquisition period in the Chris Ballard era by acquiring All-Pro CB Sauce Gardner. Sauce […]

Did the Colts make the right decision by trading for Sauce?

If you boil this down to courtroom style and berate me as a witness, I will give you a simple “Yes, we made the right decision” answer. If you have the opportunity to bring in this sort of difference maker, during a season where the conference seems more up for grabs than any year in […]

Are Sauce Gardner’s penalty issues overblown?

Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts had been desperate for competent cornerback play in recent years. From BoPete Keyes and Anthony Chesley in primetime to the entire room being ravaged by injury, the cornerback experience under general manager Chris Ballard had seen better days — then again, it hadn’t. Veteran acquisitions Xavier Rhodes and Stephon […]

Forget about the cost because Ballard made the Indianapolis Colts a lot better

What has gotten into Chris Ballard? Did he have an epiphany or…? The GM for the Indianapolis Colts doesn’t make mid-season trades. Ballard doesn’t give up two first round picks for anyone. Heck, he doesn’t make many moves at all. Ballard moves around the game board in a systematic way and almost never deviates. Getting […]

New Colts CB Sauce Gardner ‘elevates everyone around him’ and will make Indy debut Sunday—if clears protocol

According to head coach Shane Steichen, new Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner “‘elevates everyone around him’“ as “his resume speaks for itself.” While the Colts gave up a steep price, including their next two first round picks and young wideout AD Mitchell, he’s not worried about the future as the Colts currently sit at 7-2, […]
