Indianapolis, IN — Under general manager Chris Ballard, the Indianapolis Colts have historically avoided the mid-season headache that the NFL trade deadline brings.

According to ESPN’s Ben Solak, the Minnesota Vikings should trade for Indianapolis Colts since demoted starting quarterback Anthony Richardson just ahead of the NFL’s trade deadline: If there was anywhere for the former 4th overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft to resurrect his early career, Minnesota would arguably be at the top of any […]

I’m trying to get creative and think of a snappy intro, but what else can I say? This is the best offense in football. While this offensive production is impressive and borderline historic, it’s important to acknowledge that what everyone expected to happen in this matchup…pretty much happened. So let’s breakdown some of the Colts […]

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano (subscription), the Indianapolis Colts still seem like a logical trade destination for Cincinnati Bengals reigning All-Pro pass rusher Trey Hendrickson—even with their current caveat that “Cincinnati has no plans to trade Hendrickson right now”: “Up to this point, the Bengals have rebuffed trade inquiries, and sources have […]

Indianapolis, IN — Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard has always had a knack for drafting offensive line talent. From one of the easiest choices of all time in selecting guard Quenton Nelson at the top of the draft to finding gems on Day 3 (Rounds 4-7), such as current starting center Tanor Bortolini and […]

Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor is almost midway through a monstrous rushing campaign, in which he’s not only the clear frontrunner for NFL Offensive Player of the Year but a bona fide NFL MVP candidate for the league’s most prestigious individual annual award.

Stock Up Michael Pittman Jr. Pitt continues asserting himself as the #1 receiver, and there are probably not a lot of better jobs than being the top dog on an offense as productive as the Colts is. Less than halfway through the season he has already tied his career high in touchdowns, consistently leads the […]

The Indianapolis Colts have played the Pittsburgh Steelers quite a bit over the years. Thirty-five times these two teams have matched up, and the Colts have only won eight of those games. That is the bad part. A potential silver lining, however, is that two of those wins came in the last two meetings. Both […]
