Manning Rallies Colts In 4th Quarter, Edge Jaguars 35-31

“It’s déjà vu all over again”. Yogi Berra The Indianapolis Colts never cease to amaze me; although to be fair, when you have been a Colts fan for as long as I have (39 years and counting), what they seem to do on a weekly basis seems eerily commonplace. When the Colts went to take [...]

Colts-Jags: Indy Looks To Strive for Perfection on Thursday Night

The Indianapolis Colts look to strive for 14-0 on Thursday Night. And man, what a great week for NFL Network, eh? They got two undefeated teams playing on their channel, exclusively.

Colts-Broncos: Heroics In Fourth Quarter Help Indy Pass Denver, 28-16

Undefeated Not the Main Focus of the Colts

The Tribune Star reports that the Colts are not worried about going undefeated: The Indianapolis Colts will bring a 12-0 record and a 21-game winning streak into Sunday’s National Football League home game with the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis has already notched a sixth AFC South crown and is getting closer to clinching home-field advantage [...]

Colts Remain Undefeated, Trample Titans 27-17

As I have said on more than one occasion in reference to the Indianapolis Colts, they find new and creative ways to win each and every week. Some weeks, it is Peyton Manning and his arm, some weeks it’s their secondary, while sometimes they come from behind. The Colts didn’t have to rely on a [...]
