Since he joined the league by way of a second-round draft selection back in the infamously virtual 2020 NFL Draft, Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has remained one of the league’s best pure runners of the football. As of recent, there have even been flashes of an emergence altogether, which, of course, should strike fear into opposing NFL defenses.

He’s second among running backs leaguewide in rushing yards since he entered the league, and is one of just four running backs to eclipse 5,000 rushing yards in that span. Additionally, Taylor is one of three running backs to total...

The Indianapolis Colts today released their Wednesday injury report for Week 3 of the NFL season ahead of their Sunday game against the Tennessee Titans.

Wide receiver Josh Downs missed practice today with an ankle injury. Downs is a key member of the Colts wide receiver grou leaves in heavily on third downs. Downs had missed practices in previous years with ankle issues but hopefully this one many too serious. He will be one to keep an eye on as the week goes on.

Tight end Tyler Warren missed practice today with a toe injury. Warren had been nothing short...

Each week during the season, I will be walking through the data from the previous Colts game and analyzing the numbers to form a sort of “what happened” narrative, as well as comparing the Colts against all other teams in the league. For a glossary of the stats listed, reference Season Stats. Thanks to Pro Football Reference, NFL.com, Football Outsiders, and the nflFastR project for being awesome sources of weekly data.

For the second week in a row, the Colts’ offense had no trouble moving the ball down the field. Their 26 first downs and 78.8% Drive Success Rate...

Jonathan Taylor

What a game this was for JT, who was kept somewhat in check against the Dolphins on the debut. He exploded against the Broncos for over 200 scrimmage yards and a touchdown, on just 27 touches. Taylor tends to start slow, improving as the season goes on, so him playing like this on Week 2 should be a scary sight for the rest of the NFL. He has also vastly improved in pass-protection, an area where he struggled in the past.

Daniel Jones

Encore performance for Indiana Jones, having another impeccable performance and...

On Wednesday, the NFL announced that Indianapolis Colts star workhorse Jonathan Taylor earned ‘AFC Offensive Player of the Week’ honors for his Herculean effort in this past Sunday’s thrilling last second, 29-28 home win against the Denver Broncos.

Having a monstrous outing, Taylor had 25 carries for 165 total rushing yards (6.6 ypc. avg.), as well as 2 receptions for 50.0 yards and a touchdown reception.

With the Colts spreading the ball around in the passing game, Taylor was clearly the focal point of the Indianapolis offense collectively, anchoring the ground game.

On his 43-yard reception late in the first...

The Indianapolis Colts are officially 2-0 for the first time in a long time. The world asked them to do it against a better defense and they did. A lot of really good plays have been discussed ad nauseam, so in this article, I’ll highlight some less flashy plays the Colts have used to move the chains and score points.

Colts have loved Naked keepers early in the game. It helps the QB get into a rhythm, moves the launch point so elite pass rushers can’t tee off, and lets them get their TE the ball in the flat.

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, it’s time to wonder exactly what version of Daniel Jones the Colts have on their roster. Because throughout a previously unremarkable career, Jones has never looked like this before — and Shane Steichen’s offense is setting records as a result.

On March 13, 2024, Sam Darnold signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Minnesota Vikings to be rookie J.J. McCarthy’s backup. Nobody knew then that McCarthy would...

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)

A really good 2nd game from Daniel Jones almost has me believing ....

I’m not going to claim to be the only one who has given this some thought regarding this year’s Indianapolis Colts.

While the offense has hummed to the tune of not having punted through two games, we do still have more FGs than TDs. Personally, I think we would show a better rate, but four plays in the end zone that could have been called PI, went as incompletions that killed drives. On the other hand, if you are not given your opponents as much as possible to think about from week to week, you are not maximizing your offense....

The Indianapolis Colts announced on Tuesday the promotion of linebacker Austin Ajiake from their practice squad and the subsequent signing of center Jimmy Morrissey to replace him therein.

Having signed with the Colts back in 2023, Ajiake has remained within the Indianapolis organization. He was released as part of initial 53-man roster cuts this past offseason, but was a priority signing among practice squad members. He’s already appeared in 1 game for the Colts so far this year (against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1), recording 2 tackles (1 solo).

Meanwhile Morrissey was a 2021 7th round pick of the...

According to the NFL official transaction wire, the Indianapolis Colts worked out a wealth of cornerbacks on Monday, including Isaiah Bolden, Tre Flowers, Keenan Garber, Daequan Hardy, Kennan Isaac, and Nik Needham.

The Colts also worked out center Jimmy Morrissey.

Among the biggest names on the list are Isaiah Bolden, Nik Needham, and former Colts defensive back Tre Flowers.

Originally a 2023 7th round pick of the New England Patriots, the 6’2”, 205 pound Bolden had 10 tackles (7 solo) and a fumble recovery in 10 games last season. He was released ahead of initial 53-man roster cuts this offseason....
