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...

When the schedule came out months ago, the Indianapolis Colts, Atlanta Falcons’ game immediately caught my eye. Berlin is a city many travelers dream about visiting and for one who appreciates history and the Colts, it was a no brainer. With plenty of time to arrange finances and develop an itinerary, the trip was set. I knew I would experience history in Berlin, I just didn’t expect to see it on the field from Jonathan Taylor.
Give Taylor his flowers. No one is playing better than he is now. The Colts hold the best record in football, and Daniel Jones...

Stephen Holder of ESPN broke news that Sauce Gardner’s trade to the Indianapolis Colts has resulted in a shift among Colts brass in re-signing efforts of Wide Receiver Alec Pierce. Per Holder:
The Colts had internally decided long ago that re-signing Pierce after this season was not financially prudent, according to multiple sources. With the presence of 2024 second-round pick Adonai Mitchell and his tantalizing talent, the Colts had come to terms with losing Pierce as a free agent in the lucrative wide receiver market and viewed Mitchell as his replacement.
But after Mitchell ‘s struggles with...

8-2, after an ugly, hard-fought win. Travelling to Europe is always tough, and the Colts managed to go into their bye-week with a win that helps put away the ghosts that appeared after the loss to the Steelers. There were some other games with results that favor the Colts, as the Steelers and the Bills both lost on Sunday.
Hat-trick, game-winner, and this time really close to 300 scrimmage yards. The Colts have a very special player, who is having perhaps the most impressive season by an offensive player since LT’s 2006...

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 through eight weeks prior to their Week 9 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, aka the beginning of such dysfunction.
Despite this, the Colts have gone 1-1 in such games, have totaled 887 yards of offense, and have yet to score less than 20 points in...

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 also since disappeared in the form of untimely penalties and a breakdown in pass protection. Despite these newfound kinks in their immortal armor, the Colts’ offense continues to produce yardage-wise.
The Colts have put up 887 total yards of offense in the past two weeks,...

The Denver Broncos won on Thursday night to set the bar in the AFC early in Week 10. On Sunday morning, the Indianapolis Colts found a way to win in overtime to pull even with the Broncos and retake first place in the conference on a tiebreaker.
The New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills are in action in the early afternoon window on Sunday. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Chargers play each other on Sunday night, so there are lots of things that can change here.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was on tour in Berlin, Germany and demonstrated to the entire world what a traditional NFL workhorse looks like with three touchdowns in Sunday’s 31-25 walk-off win in overtime over the Atlanta Falcons.
Taylor erupted for 244 rushing yards on 32 carries that featured a thunderous 83-yard touchdown run to take the lead late in regulation, followed by a game-winning, eight-yard knockout blow in overtime. Perhaps it was the most dominant individual showcase an NFL player has ever had overseas in the league’s first ever game at the historic Olympiastadion. It’s the fifth game...

It wasn’t the prettiest performance in Berlin, Germany, by the Indianapolis Colts, but the Horseshoe overcame some turnovers and early points left off the board to win in overtime, 31-25—with some gritty plays late down the stretch.
In particular, Colts star workhorse Jonathan Taylor cemented his case as a bona fide NFL MVP candidate yet again, with a historic rushing performance, carrying the football 32 times for 244 total rushing yards and 3 rushing touchdowns.
Taylor passed Colts’ Hall of Famer Edgerrin James for the most rushing touchdowns (65) in franchise history.
Those three rushing touchdowns included an 83-yard rushing...

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 big loss for the Colts run defense stopping Falcons Pro Bowl running back Bijan Robinson, as their unit’s undisputed top run stuffer, but the interior Indianapolis defensive line is already without All-Pro veteran defensive tackle DeForest Buckner—meaning they could very likely be without one of...

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 star workhorse Jonathan Taylor’s primary backup between-the-tackles, has seen his role diminish with veteran Ameer Abdullah’s in-season addition and the return of fellow backup Tyler Goodson.
Otherwise, defensive end Samson Ebukam (knee), wide receiver (special teams returnman) Anthony Gould (knee), and defensive end Tyquan Lewis...
