Indianapolis Colts
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Colts fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Heading into Week 11, we want to know how you’re feeling after watching the team so far this year. Every week of the season we will ask fans if they are confident the team is headed in the right direction and more of the most pressing questions facing the coming game. Let us know what you think!

When the Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the Colts drafting Tyler Warren 15th overall in the 2025 draft, he did so with the usual customary addition of “insert position, insert university” that he does with all picks. The words “Tyler Warren, Tight End, Penn State” caused a thunderous roar of approval from both Colts fans watching the draft, and from inside the Colts War Room itself.
However the 2nd part, “Tight End” is just a gross oversimplification of what Tyler Warren can do. Tyler Warren is like Cassian Andor’s friends in Andor or Roy Kent from Ted Lasso, he’s everywhere.

International games can be the best or the worst—depending on the outcome of the game. If you win, there’s nothing like that flight back home. If you lose? It is MISERABLE. Luckily, the Colts under Shane Steichen have not had to experience that.
I’ve said it before, but the NFL is a week to week league. It doesn’t matter what the media thinks, Vegas thinks, or your co-worker at the watercooler. Records do not matter. Unless you have a crystal ball, nobody has any clue what will happen in a game. You may be more talented than the player across...

According to PFF, both Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor and rookie tight end Tyler Warren were named to their ‘Week 10 Team of the Week’:

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler (subscription), Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is projected to be in line for a lucrative multi-year contract extension—to the tune of $100 million:
Daniel Jones, QB
Current team: Indianapolis Colts
2025 salary: $14 million
Age entering 2026 season: 29What he brings: Jones has elevated his level of play and poise under coach Shane Steichen in Indianapolis. Through 10 games, Jones’ 66.8 QBR ranks ninth in the league, and he is throwing with a much stronger sense of timing. He fits in an offense that features...

Thanks to the nflFastR project, Pro Football Focus and NFL NextGen Stats 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. Commentary will be brief but feel free to let me know in the comments that stats aren’t everything. (click charts for larger view)
I guess Week 10 can be considered a bounce-back for...

The Olympic Stadium in Berlin has witnessed its share of historic feats over the past nine decades. Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor turned the page to a new chapter on a global stage Sunday, with a performance that will be remembered as one of the greatest individual showcases of the modern NFL era.
Taylor was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the third time this season after leading the Colts to a 31-25 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons in Germany. Taylor scored three touchdowns and racked up a career-high and single-game franchise record 286 scrimmage...

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce could warrant upwards of $20M/year in a new deal this upcoming offseason:
“Teams I’ve talked to anticipate [Alec] Pierce will hit a big number in free agency. They think the $20 million per year threshold isn’t out of the question for him. Pierce is poised for his first 1,000-yard season and has the size/speed combination teams covet.”
The Indianapolis Colts have one of the strongest starting receiver trios in the entire NFL. Their complementary makeup makes for a near-perfect combination of sorts — and then you throw in...

I asked two weeks ago “What are your expectations for the next 3 games”. 90% were expecting either two wins, or that we would sweep the three games. Due to the klunker in Pittsburgh, we will now have to go to KC and win, if we are going to be correct about our prognostications. We do have the advantage of the bye week and seeing KC have a tough interdivision game with Denver this week.
I do not think that the events of the last two weeks have seen many (probably a few) ready to jump ship. Some weaknesses have...

The Colts have a fatal flaw.
Daniel Jones is turning the ball over too much and is turning back into the pumpkin we knew he was in New York.
What happened to the offensive line? They are giving up way too much pressure and too many sacks.
This defense struggles to get off the field on third down and can’t generate enough pressure.
That has been the sentiment across message boards and group chats of Indianapolis Colts’ fans the last few weeks. Not all fans are expressing these frustrations, but to say they don’t exist would be a lie. To...

Not like his stock could be any higher, but Taylor continues putting numbers that make him worthy of that MVP award. Almost 300 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns against a really tough front, and instrumental in the Colts getting their 8th win of the season. It is not only that, but even with the offensive line not opening up massive holes Taylor still manages to get yards after contact and makes defenders miss effortlessly.
The 2nd round pick started his career a bit slow, being a healthy scratch the first weeks...
