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...

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

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

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

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...

Report: Colts looking to sign starting QB Daniel Jones to  long-term contract at year end

Report: Colts looking to sign starting QB Daniel Jones to long-term contract at year end

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Indianapolis Colts are hoping to sign starting quarterback Daniel Jones to a long-term contract extension at year-end:

The fact that the Colts are hoping to keep Indianapolis for the foreseeable future is hardly surprising given that he’s been one of the catalysts to their remarkable 2025 turnaround. While many NFL analysts projected the Colts to be among the league’s bottom feeders, Indianapolis surprisingly sits at 6-1 as the toast of the AFC entering Week 8.

While Jones price-tag may ultimately go up by season’s end—especially if he keeps this up, it also gives...

Colts Reacts Survey Results Week 7

Colts Reacts Survey Results Week 7

Indianapolis Colts fans confidence is nearly sky high for the AFC’s leading team, who many expected to be a bottom feeder entering the 2025 campaign. There’s good reason too as the Colts are currently 6-1.

Specifically, 99% of Colts fans are now confident that the team is headed in the right direction, which it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know is a nearly pristine percentage.

In particular, the Colts now have a solidifying veteran presence at starting quarterback, which coupled with the big rookie addition at tight end, has paid dividends. Under new defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, the Colts...

Daniel Jones is cashing in on his great play

The Colts’ offense isn’t just the NFL’s best — it’s on a historic pace, averaging more points per drive than any team since 2000.

While the additions of Tyler Warren and a fully healthy Jonathan Taylor have made a huge difference, the biggest reason for the Colts’ offensive success has been Daniel Jones and his remarkable efficiency.

Jones is currently playing on a one-year, $14 million deal. The question now is: what will the Colts have to pay him after the season if he maintains this level of play?

To break down a potential contract, three factors need to be...

Colts’ Players to Watch: Week 8 vs. Titans

Colts’ Players to Watch: Week 8 vs. Titans

Laiatu Latu

Latu has been the Colts’ best pass-rusher this season, which is no surprise after a rookie year where he showed flashes. The Titans have two good tackles, but are struggling in pass-protection, as they struggle in all offensive areas. Keeping the edges contained and bringing in quick pressure to rookie quarterback Cam Ward will be important in never allowing the Titans to get into any sort of rythm, and finish the game fast. Left tackle Dan Moore Jr. has been serviceable this season, the matchup to exploit lays on the right side where JC Latham has struggled...

Understanding the Disconnect with Colts Pass Rush Stats

Understanding the Disconnect with Colts Pass Rush Stats

Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts‘ defense has brought opposing quarterbacks down at a top-10 rate in the NFL. However, nuance is needed to understand the shortcomings.

Indy’s pass rush is filling up the box score statistically, but it still feels like they’re lucking into opportunities at times. Against Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7, the Colts’ defense pressured Shane Steichen’s first quarterback as an offensive coordinator a league-high (and team season-high) 57.4% of the time, sacking him thrice. Just three other NFL teams were able to total a pressure rate of 50% or higher during...

With or without injuries, the Colts will look to handle the Titans

When the Indianapolis Colts met the Tennessee Titans in week three, things started with a bang. On the first possession, Kenny Moore II picked rookie Cam Ward off and took it in for six. From there, the Colts never looked back. It was 20-6 at the half, and by the time the final whistle blew, it was a blowout at 41-20. Whether it is week one or eighteen, teams deal with injuries. The Colts have had their fair share, and the Titans are currently taking on more than theirs. Regardless of who could be out there on Sunday, the Colts...

Laiatu Latu is an elite Pass Rusher… he just needs sacks

Laiatu Latu may have been overshadowed as a rookie by fellow first round pass rusher Jared Verse, but in Year 2 Latu has broken out in a big way. A refined technician with a deep bag of moves and counters, Latu continued to sharpen his craft this past offseason, and the results speak for themselves. The sophomore leap Latu has taken in his first year in Lou Anarumo’s scheme has been nothing short of spectacular.
