Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. is Amidst a Career Year

Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts, and more specifically its offense, have had no shortage of highlights through each of its games through eight weeks of play. From head coach Shane Steichen pulling out tricks from the deepest parts of his offensive bag to Jonathan Taylor and Daniel Jones vying for MVP votes, this Colts team is a wagon in large part due to its historically successful offense.

Each position group on that side of the ball has seemingly evolved into all-world talents collectively. The offensive line, with two first-time starters across the interior, is simply mauling people in tandem...

The Colts have 7 wins in the books. How does the 2nd half look?

The Colts have been the surprise story of the first half of the season. Some other teams have had some moments, but no team has put positive weekly results on the field, as well as the Colts have. We still have our detractors who most often want to put our strength of schedule as a caveat. Yes, our first eight opponents check in with a winning percentage of 39% (24 – 37). The nay-sayers are reluctant to look at our +116 point differential in a league where every team can win on the proverbial “Any given Sunday.”

First off, I’d...

Colts’ Monday Morning Awards: Week 8 vs. Titans

7-1. Colts win their fourth game in a row, all convincingly, this time by 24 points against division rivals Tennessee Titans. There were some ghosts surrounding this team and games that they should be winning easily on paper, so it was nice leaving them behind and demolishing the Titans always feels good. Now we enter the tough stretch of the season, where we will see the true metal of this Colts’ roster.


Best player of the Game (and NFL MVP): Jonathan Taylor

Colts revisionist history: Jonathan Taylor was 100% right to hold out

Is there anyone better in the NFL right now than Jonathan Taylor? That’s a rhetorical question because the answer is no. It doesn’t matter if he is in the MVP conversation because current odds show it isn’t about the most valuable player but instead the most valuable quarterback. It may be impossible for him to win, and that’s ok. What he is doing right now makes it plain to see how valuable he truly is and why he was 100% correct when he held out for a bigger contract in 2023.

It was messy. Private meetings on the bus, a...

Colts-Steelers opening odds: Colts seeking a big road win

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 of those were at Lucas Oil, so the Colts have their work cut out for them on the road. FanDuel Sportsbook has the Colts with an advantage in the spread at 3-points.

The money line starts at -166 while the over/under is 49.5.

Jonathan Taylor is the NFL’s Mid-Season MVP

Indianapolis, IN — Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has put on a dominant start to the season. After blowing past the Tennessee Titans for the second time this season, the Colts remain alone atop the NFL standings at 7-1, a start they haven’t matched since their Super Bowl runner-up season in 2009.

It was a convincing win that came on the heels of Taylor, a tried-and-true formula that has catapulted the Colts atop national power rankings as we near the season’s midway point. This time, however, saw Lucas Oil Stadium erupt into a serenade of MVP chants following the...

Colts earn fifth blowout as Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman Jr., continue to own Titans

The Indianapolis Colts dismantled the Tennessee Titans for the second time this season in Sunday’s 38-14 blowout win to improve to 7-1 and complete the season sweep inside Lucas Oil Stadium.

In two meetings with the Titans in 2025, the Colts have outscored their AFC South rival 79-34.

Colts running back Jonathan Taylor continued his sensational campaign as he scored three total touchdowns and ran for 153 yards on just 12 carries. The Colts starting offense needed just 23 minutes on the field to steamroll into the end zone five times, starting when Taylor pushed the lead to 10-0 toward...

Rapid reaction: Colts remain scary, giving Titans nightmares this Halloween week, 38-14

As we approach Halloween, it’s not just ghosts, witches, skeletons, and ghouls that have caused some frequent nightmares during this annual season of spookiness.

The Colts continue to consistently terrorize their opponents, and Sunday’s late afternoon performance against the now 1-7 Tennessee Titans wasn’t anything close to a letdown. The Colts dominated on both sides of the ball.

Starting quarterback Daniel Jones continues his impressive debut campaign for the Colts, as he threw for 3 passing touchdowns to 3 different Colts receivers: Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Johnathan Taylor.

Jones completed 21 of 29 pass attempts (72.4%) for 272...

The Indianapolis Colts dominated the Tennessee Titans and it didn’t matter that the rest of the AFC playoff teams won. The Colts stay atop the AFC with their Week 8 win.

The AFC East-leading New England Patriots and the second-place Buffalo Bills both won, the Denver Broncos walloped the Dallas Cowboys, and the Los Angeles Chargers all won this week.

The Pittsburgh Steelers still play Sunday night while the Kansas City Chiefs roll on Monday night.

Michael Pittman Jr. makes absurd touchdown snag against Titans for fourth TD in last five meetings

Indianapolis Colts receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has owned the Tennessee Titans in recent meetings and just made an absurd snag in the end zone for a touchdown to take a double-digit lead as the stampede sporting inside Lucas Oil Stadium erupted in amazement.

Just outside of the red zone, Colts quarterback Daniel Jones saw the backside 1-on-1 matchup and fired a pass to the left front pylon. With Titans cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis draped all over Pittman like a backpack, dragging him to the blue turf in the end zone, the Colts sixth-year receiver adjusted like an elite receiver should, but...

Week 8 Colts vs. Titans Game Thread

The Indianapolis Colts are at home to take on the Tennessee Titans in week 8 of the 2025 season, kickoff is at 4:25 p.m. EST.

Last week our Colts dominated a good LA Chargers team. The game was never as close as the 38-24 final score would indicate. That said, the game was not without it’s concerns. The depleted Colts secondary allowed Justin Herbert to throw for a career high 420 yards and three touchdowns and there were large swaths of the game that felt like the pass rush didn’t do enough. That’s not to say the front four weren’t...

Report: Colts injured QB has surgery but return this year remains uncertain

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Indianapolis Colts backup quarterback Anthony Richardson underwent surgery to repair his orbital bone fracture on Monday—but could still return this season:

The former 4th overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft has suffered a myriad on injuries since entering the league with Indianapolis (including 13 games in his rookie season largely due to a season-ending shoulder injury), but none have been stranger than after a medical band malfunctioned during pregame training work before Week 6’s home game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Richardson fractured the orbital bone in his eye and was placed on injured...
