No one, and I mean absolutely no one, realistically thought the Indianapolis Colts would be this good outside of anyone directly employed at their W. 56th Street complex or with some really Horseshoe blue tinted glasses.
This isn’t just a good team that may sneak into an AFC wild card game anymore, with the right breaks down the season’s stretch, but sitting at 6-1 and atop the AFC, they’re now a bonafide Super Bowl contender.
As CBS analyst and future NFL Hall of Famer J.J. Watt eloquently put it on the telecast, *“Everyone’s waiting for the other shoe to drop....

    On Monday, the Indianapolis Colts announced that the team has resigned cornerback David Long Jr. back to the team’s practice squad.
The Colts had an opening on their taxi-man team after starting cornerback Chavarius Ward was placed on injured reserve from the active 53-man roster, and veteran running back Ameer Abdullah was signed from their practice squad in a corresponding roster move this past weekend.
Originally a 2019 3rd round pick of the Los Angeles Rams, the 5,11”, 196 pound cornerback has been well traveled in his early NFL career, having also spent time with the Las Vegas Raiders, Carolina...

    6-1. Perhaps the most important win of the season because of everything involved. Colts missing several starters, playing away from home against a conference rival, and getting the tie-breaker over a potential playoff rival. Not only the fact that the team won, but how that win came, with the offense playing the best game I have seen in a long time, and the defense getting the stops and turnovers at the crucial moments.
Another hat-trick for JT, who also got over 100 yards from scrimmage, establishing himself firmly in...

    Indianapolis, IN — The current Indianapolis Colts offense isn’t just a drastic change from that of yesteryear, nor is it solely the best from the Chris Ballard era. Head coach Shane Steichen’s offense has evolved overnight into becoming appointment viewing for football fans far and wide.
Despite a dominant start out of the gate, brakes were pumped early on during the season as fans and analysts alike wanted to see such a display against better competition. The ‘any given Sunday’ phrase is often tossed to the wayside as a legitimate talking point, and although that’s fair, that very sentiment has...

    The last time the Indianapolis Colts boarded a plane headed home from Los Angeles they did so with a bad taste in their mouths. Unforced errors and stupid mistakes cost them a game they should have won. Redemption was near as the Colts traveled back to Hollywood to take on the Chargers just a few short weeks later. This time, however, things went much differently as the Colts went full throttle on the division leaders in the West and got to ride home victorious. While the defense made big plays through some of their struggles, the spotlight shined solely on...

    The Indianapolis Colts are no strangers to running back Jonathan Taylor’s superstardom, yet somehow, he has once again exceeded expectations. It wasn’t long ago that Taylor burst onto the scene with an OPOY-caliber season in just his second season. Nowadays, he’s replicating his career-best season, and then some. The NFL’s Most Valuable Player of the Year Award has become a glorified QB Award over the years, but if anybody outside of Saquon Barkley’s 2024-25 campaign were to threaten that normalization, it’s 2025-26 Jonathan Taylor.
Against the Los Angeles Chargers, Jonathan Taylor became the first Colts player in history to log...

    The Indianapolis Colts head back to Indiana off a huge road win against the Los Angeles Chargers. The game got tighter at times but the Colts were never truly in danger as they handled their business in an extremely impressive fashion. The Colts now return home for their last true home game before the bye to take on the Tennessee Titans. FanDuel Sportsbook sees this one as a big Indy advantage giving the Colts a -14.5-point spread. (Since doing opening odds, this might be the biggest Colts spread I’ve seen which shows how far this team has come this season.)...

    The Indianapolis Colts never trailed and delivered a statement road win to improve to 6-1 Sunday, overpowering the Los Angeles Chargers 38–24 at SoFi Stadium.
The NFL’s most electric offense steamrolled through another AFC opponent behind a balanced showcase that featured three rushing touchdowns from running back Jonathan Taylor for the third time this season to add to his league-leading 10 rushing scores. Indianapolis entered Week 7 averaging an NFL-best 6.8 yards per play on first down, and controlled the tempo from the opening drive to victory formation. Colts head coach Shane Steichen’s game plan to throw to score and...

    The Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Chargers battled for AFC supremacy on Sunday and the Colts demolished their West Coast counterparts. Indianapolis is for real and they are the last one-loss team in the AFC. No doubt.
The New England Patriots won to stay in second place while the Denver Broncos used a massive fourth quarter to win and leap frog the Los Angeles Chargers into third place atop the AFC West.
The Pittsburgh Steelers lost on Thursday and fall to fourth.
The Buffalo Bills lead the wild card race while on their bye and the Chargers sit in fifth...

    The Indianapolis Colts are on the road to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in week 7 of the 2025 season, kickoff is at 4:05 p.m. EST.
Last week our Colts squeaked by a Cardinals team that was led by Jacoby Brissett. Losing Mooney Ward before the game severely limited the secondary and Brissett seized the opportunity keeping pace with Indy’s offensive performance. The Colts were fortunate to escape with a win.
This week the Indy defense will be tested even further with Mooney Ward sent to IR and Justin Herbert staring down a depleted defensive backfield. Trade rumors were...

    The Indianapolis Colts announced that the following players are inactive for Week 7’s road game against the Los Angeles Chargers (4:05 PM EST):
The real discouraging news came earlier in this weekend when cornerback Charvarius Ward (concussion) was placed on injured reserve after suffering his second concussion of the season during pre-game warmups after colliding with teammate tight end Drew Ogleetree. He’ll miss at least the team’s next four games.
Both cornerback Mekhi Blackmon and undrafted rookie Johnathan Edwards are projected to start on the outside again, just like during last weekend’s tough home win against the Arizona Cardinals.

    The Indianapolis Colts (5-1) travel to SoFi Stadium for the second time this 2025 regular season.
Only this time around, Indianapolis will take on the AFC West leading Los Angeles Chargers (4-2)(-2.5) under their current head coach ‘Captain Comeback’ Jim Harbaugh, who of course, is in the Colts Ring of Honor and led his former team as a starting quarterback to the AFC Championship Game back in the 1995 season.
The Colts currently rank 1st in points for (32.3 avg. ppg) and 4th best in points against (19.3 avg. ppg), while the Chargers rank 23rd in points for (21.2 avg....
