With their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Indianapolis Colts fell behind the Buffalo Bills in the AFC wild card race in addition to falling further behind the Jags in the AFC South. With a Houston Texans win on Sunday night, the Colts would fall out of playoff position entirely.
The Denver Broncos play late on Sunday while the New England Patriots are on a bye. The Pittsburgh Steelers control the AFC North right now after beating the Baltimore Ravens. Not a whole lot of meaning there in those division leaders anyway unless the Colts can go on a run....

Aw man, here we go again…
Somehow, someway, the Indianapolis Colts created another chapter to their nightmare novel after Sunday’s 36-19 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium. For the 11th straight trip to Jacksonville, the Colts failed to avoid the inevitable worst collective performance of the season. The Jaguars claimed sole possession of first place in the AFC South, while the Colts have slipped in a free fall from contending for the top seed, to clinging onto the final wild card spot with just a one game advantage of the rival Houston Texans.

According to head coach Shane Steichen, while he doesn’t have the medical specifics yet, the status of Indianapolis Colts starting quarterback Daniel Jones’s injured Achilles “is not looking good.”
Steichen indicated that it could be potentially season-ending, with Jones missing the remainder of 2025.
Jones suffered the non-contact injury with around 35 seconds left in the first quarter, as he was backpedaling from the Jaguars pass rush, attempted to plant and throw—only to have his once healthy lower right leg buckle.
Jones had been playing through a fractured fibula on his left leg, and while I’m no medical doctor, it’s...

The Indianapolis Colts suffered another consecutive loss in Jacksonville, having not beaten the Jaguars in Duval County since 2014.
Indianapolis handedly lost 36-19 in Jacksonville, but that wasn’t even the primary cause of concern for the Colts’ blues on an exorbitantly rainy day in the ‘Sunshine State.’ Rather, starting quarterback Daniel Jones suffered a potential season-ending Achilles injury with just around 35 seconds left in the first quarter.
Jones was quickly downgraded to out, and the Colts were forced to turn to rookie backup quarterback Riley Leonard to finish this one out in unplanned extended action. Leonard completed 18 of...

The Indianapolis Colts had been unraveling as of late, particularly offensively. A left fibula fracture to starting quarterback Daniel Jones proved as a hindrance to Indy’s efficiency and overall production over the past month of play, ultimately resulting in a 3-loss skid in four games.
Early against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14, Daniel Jones’ healthy right leg gave up on him as he was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game with an Achilles designation. Regardless of the severity at hand, separate injuries to each leg are likely enough to assume that he will miss time.

The Indianapolis Colts announced that starting quarterback Daniel Jones has been ruled out with an Achilles injury, which he suffered through non-contact with around 35 seconds left in the first quarter.
Jones was backpedaling on a pass attempt, trying to avoid the Jaguars pass pressure, when his right lower leg buckled—when he tried to subsequently plant and throw.
His fractured fibula that he was playing through was actually on his left leg. However, it’s possible that the complications from that fractured fibula left leg led to the latest lower leg injury for Jones—only on his right, with his once healthy...

The Indianapolis Colts are on the road to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in week 14 of the 2025 season, kickoff is at 1:00 p.m. EST.
Well we’ve hit that part of the season we were all dreading and things are not going great. But how bad is it, really? Indy’s worst loss of the season was absolutely in week 9 against the Steelers, a 7 point loss on the road to a middling team lead by a geriatric quarterback. Then they got a win in Germany, had a bye, lost by 3 on the road to a team with...

The Indianapolis Colts (8-4) announced their inactives ahead of Sunday afternoon’s game (1 PM EST) against the Jacksonville Jaguars (8-4) to determine who will continue to sit atop the AFC South after this Week 14.
Those inactives include cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf), running back D.J. Giddens, defensive lineman Tyquan Lewis (ankle), safety Reuben Lowery III, tight end Will Mallory, safety George Odum, and offensive tackle Luke Tenuta.
Among injured inactives, both Gardner and Lewis were ruled out entering and/or during the weekend.
It looks as though with Lewis out, the Colts elected to keep an extra defensive lineman on the...

In Week 14 of 2025 our Indianapolis Colts will travel to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Knowing the party was hitting the road, I sat down with Gus Lodge of Big Cat Country, SB Nation’s Jaguars blog. You can find him on Twitter @gus_lodge or @duval22dotcom. We swapped questions and answers about both the Jaguars and the Colts and what follows is what I’ve learned about this week’s enemy.

Weather doesn’t usually dominate NFL conversations, but it absolutely should this week in Jacksonville. Forecasts are calling for persistent rain, cooler temperatures, and a damp field throughout the day. That combination matters a lot. When the surface is slick and the ball is wet, the game slows, margins tighten, and teams that insist on playing fast and loose through the air often pay for it.
Rain impacts far more than just deep passing. It affects footing at the line of scrimmage, timing at the top of routes, exchanges in shotgun, and ball security in traffic. Quarterbacks grip the ball differently....

The Indianapolis Colts (8-4) need a win on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars (8-4) as both teams currently sit atop the AFC South—with the winner having much better footing going forward to win the division outright.
Specifically, per PFF, the Colts’ playoff odds increase (at 78%) and decrease (at 34%) after a road win on Sunday in Jacksonville—with the difference obviously being pretty drastic respectively:
It won’t be easy for Indianapolis by any means.
Not only have the Colts lost 3 of their last 4 games, but Indianapolis hasn’t won in Jacksonville since 2014. It’s truly and rather shockingly been...

The Indianapolis Colts announced on Saturday that the team has activated linebacker Jaylon Carlies (ankle) off of injured reserve and also elevated both placekicker Blake Grupe and defensive tackle Chris Wormley to the 53-man active roster off their practice squad ahead of Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The team also downgraded defensive lineman Tyquan Lewis (ankle) to out.
It’s great news on Carlies, who head coach Shane Steichen had said earlier in the week had another great week of practice, but it was either now or never—as had the 2nd-year linebacker not been activated before Sunday’s game, he would’ve...
