Reviewing how the Colts’ players improved or decreased their position on the team

Stock Up

Anthony Richardson

Two wins in the past three games for Anthony Richardson since his reinsertion in the starting lineup, and this one against an old time rival away from home, including the touchdown pass on 4th down in the dying moments of the game, followed by the two-point conversion by him on the option play. It might not be pretty, and there will be definitely be some hiccups along the way, but Richardson is clearly the best quarterback on the Colts’ roster right...

The Indianapolis Colts are coming off a season saving win against the New England Patriots. Things looked dicey, but a gritty fourth quarter drive and a gutsy two-point conversion kept their postseason hopes alive. This week, the Colts will get some much needed rest. Yes, the Colts may be on their bye this week but FanDuel Sportsbook never stops. Let’s take a look forward at the Colts chances of making the postseason.

Making the Playoffs

The Colts currently hold +156 odds of making the postseason. The Dolphins and Bengals lost which helps stave off some of the competition directly...

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 upcoming opponent QB has 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)

Overall, this was a good game for Anthony Richardson but it...

AFC matchup tonight as the Broncos look to lock up the final wild card spot.

And we close off Week 13 of NFL football with an AFC conference matchup as the Broncos (- 280) look to keep the good times rolling as they face off against the Winston-led Cleveland Browns (+ 230) in Denver. The Broncos open up as 5.5-point favourites with the OU for the game at 42.5 points.

The Browns came out as unlikely victors last week against the Steelers in what has to be one of the most enjoyed games in recent Cleveland history. Jameis Winston...

Much needed win, but issues still evident

Offense

The Colts were rolling out an offensive line comprised of a left tackle that had missed the past six games, a center that has not played at center since 2021, a right guard they picked up from the street this week, a right tackle making his first start at the position in the NFL, and of course Quenton Nelson. They were also playing away at Foxborough in front of a crowd that does not particularly like the Colts, and also against a solid defense. The offense struggled to move the ball,...

The Colts could be getting back a veteran reinforcement ahead of a must-win road game against the Denver Broncos.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen indicated on Monday that there’s a ‘good possibility’ that veteran Pro Bowl center Ryan Kelly (knee) returns after the bye week in two weeks (via The Athletic’s James Boyd):

Kelly has spent the past four weeks on injured reserve, recovering from a knee injury, and will be already eligible to return ahead of Week 15’s critical matchup.

It comes at an opportune time for the Colts offensive line, as Indianapolis has essentially a ‘must win’...

The Colts beat the Patriots 25-24 in Week 13 to improve to 6-7. Check out their complete schedule and results for the 2024 season. All times are Eastern Time.

The Indianapolis Colts are 6-7 through Week 13 of the NFL Season. They are currently second place in the AFC South. They beat the New England Patriots 25-24 last week.

The young man stepped up in a big way to deliver the win.

Things were starting to unravel for the Indianapolis Colts on the road against the New England Patriots. After allowing a touchdown and two-point conversion, the Colts found themselves down seven needing something positive. An interception on the next drive was the exact opposite of what they needed, but the much maligned defense that had struggled for most of the afternoon came up with a crucial three and out which forced the Patriots to punt the ball back to the Colts with less than six minutes remaining in...

Was not pretty, but Colts still in the playoff race

MVP of the Game: Anthony Richardson

Talk about the box score and the completion rate/interceptions all you want, if you watch the games you know that this guy has what it takes. He is not free from mistakes, I’ll give you that, but in a roster full of losers this guy is clearly a winner. He wins. He just completed his second game-winning drive in the past three weeks, and for this one he had to work his butt off given he did not get a lot of help...

“Inside 30 seconds, felt good about the call,” Steichen told reporters after stealing Sunday’s must-win affair. “Obviously, you have got to feel good about the call to go for the win. If there was over two minutes left, maybe we take the field goal, but (I) felt good about the call.”

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson delivered his second career game-winning touchdown drive, plus the two-point conversion, in the final seconds to lift the Colts to Sunday’s 25-24 road win over the New England Patriots. The Colts second-year passer had 5:34 left to essentially keep any playoff aspirations alive and...

The Indianapolis Colts defeated the New England Patriots for their first victory in Foxborough in quite some time.

The Indianapolis Colts came into Sunday’s game needing a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. While it was far from pretty, the Colts managed to come away with a victory. Indianapolis now heads into their bye week before a massive game against the Denver Broncos in two weeks.

QB ANTHONY RICHARDSON OVERCOMES MISTAKES IN LEADING COLTS TO THRILLING WIN OVER PATRIOTS

For a second time in three weeks, Colts’ quarterback Anthony Richardson led a clutch, game-winning drive to help Indianapolis come...

The Colts are on the road this week to take on the Patriots in this week 13 match up. Get in on this open thread.

The Indianapolis Colts are on the road to take on the New England Patriots for their week thirteen game, Sunday at 1 p.m. EST.

Week 12 came and went and our Colts lost to a Detroit Lions team who, for the first time in nearly a century, is likely the best team in the NFL. The fact that they lost isn’t frustrating or surprising, but the way that they lost was absolutely frustrating to...
