Last season was a rough one for Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle. He showed a lot of chemistry with Andrew Luck in 2016, so he was hoping for a breakout when Luck returned in 2018. Instead, his year was ruined by injuries and he ended up appearing in only six games. He also had […]

The 2018 season saw the Colts accomplish what many thought was impossible (or at least very improbable), making the playoffs with quarterback Andrew Luck returning from injury. They did so, though, largely without the services of tight end Jack Doyle, who dealt with a number of injuries. But the hope is that Doyle will be […]

The Indianapolis Colts benefitted heavily from the return of quarterback Andrew Luck last season. Perhaps no one enjoyed having the quarterback more than wide receiver T.Y. Hilton.

The 2018 NFL season was a positive one for the Indianapolis Colts as they took a stride forward under Frank Reich.

Tom Brady made abundantly clear last season that he’s still one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

[…]

Super Bowls are not easy to come by in the NFL for any position. Ask Dan Marino. Marino is regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history but in his 17-year career—the Lombardi Trophy eluded him. Football is the ultimate team sport where you need all 53 guys on your roster to do […]

The Indianapolis Colts are coming off of a 2018 campaign in which they won 10 games and made it to the Divisional Round of the playoffs, where they ultimately fell to the Kansas City Chiefs. But going in 2019, the Colts are a trendy Super Bowl pick in the AFC, and with Andrew Luck under […]

Going into 2019, we know that Andrew Luck and Drew Brees are two of the league’s elite quarterbacks, and I don’t think anyone is going to dispute that. Both guys put up big numbers and both of their respective teams should be in the running for a Super Bowl this year largely because of them. […]

The Colts’ 2018 draft class will likely go down as one of the best in team history if for no other reasons than Quenton Nelson and Darius Leonard. Both earned All-Pro honors last season, and Leonard was Defensive Rookie of the Year. But don’t forget about receiver Deon Cain, the sixth-round pick. The Colts sure haven’t. […]

For the past few years, everyone has considered DeAndre Hopkins, Odell Beckham Jr. and Julio Jones “must-haves” in fantasy football.

The Indianapolis Colts were not sure where they planned to play Ben Banogu when they took him in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

The Indianapolis Colts are a trendy pick to make the Super Bowl heading into 2019, and for good reason. They have a loaded offense, an improving defense and looked like one of the best teams in the league during the second half of 2018. But in order for the Colts to truly take that next […]

The Indianapolis Colts’ defense took a big step forward under Matt Eberflus last season.

Few defensive players have been as demoralizing to offenses in recent memory than Justin Houston. The now-Colt and former Chief spent years wrecking AFC West offensive lines, and hopes to do the same in the AFC South. It is fair to question whether Houston can have the same level of impact in Indianapolis, a team […]

After an up-and-down start to his career with the Carolina Panthers. Devin Funchess signed a one-year prove-it deal with the Indianapolis Colts.
