Indianapolis Colts earn playoff berth with 20-13 win at Kansas City
The Indianapolis Colts, against nearly all preseason odds, have secured perhaps one of the most remarkable one-year turnarounds in NFL history. The Colts, who in 2011 endured a woeful 2-14 campaign and subsequently cleaned house to make way for No. 1 overall pick Andrew Luck, clinched a Wild Card berth in the AFC playoffs Sunday with their 10th win of the 2012 season, a … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts earn playoff berth with 20-13 win at Kansas City
Indianapolis Colts could make push for division title with win at Houston
The Indianapolis Colts have exceeded even the wildest of expectations this season. The departure of Peyton Manning? A rookie quarterback and a young roster overall, working against a salary cap strapped with dead money? The Colts' task was daunting entering the season. And then, three weeks in, the team's new head coach, Chuck Pagano, was diagnosed with leukemia and would … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts could make push for division title with win at Houston
Indianapolis Colts’ Andrew Luck showing promise entering third game against Jacksonville Jaguars
Andrew Luck was billed as the most NFL-ready quarterback prospect since Peyton Manning -- some even said John Elway. It seems fitting, then, that the 23-year-old rookie was drafted first overall by the Indianapolis Colts, the franchise that drafted both Manning and Elway (the latter forced a trade from the franchise when it was in Baltimore) with the top pick. While the … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts’ Andrew Luck showing promise entering third game against Jacksonville Jaguars
Andrew Luck makes strong statement in debut for Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts' 2012 preseason opener, unlike such games in years past, was significant. It would offer the fan base its first look at the Colts under GM Ryan Grigson, coach Chuck Pagano and, most importantly, new franchise quarterback Andrew Luck. Safe to say that first look was a good one. Luck, heir apparent to Peyton Manning, looked a lot like the great former … [Read more...] about Andrew Luck makes strong statement in debut for Indianapolis Colts
Indianapolis Colts make heartbreaking but necessary decision to release Peyton Manning
Nobody -- nobody -- wanted it to end this way. Not you or me. Not Indianapolis Colts fans, who are sure to be divided -- many of them irate -- about the franchise's decision to part ways with Peyton Manning. Not Manning himself. Not owner Jim Irsay, who undoubtedly will be the recipient of the aforementioned fan ire. Not Indianapolis Star columnist Bob Kravitz, who was among … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts make heartbreaking but necessary decision to release Peyton Manning
Indianapolis Colts Avoid Winless Season, Won’t Play Peyton Manning
The Indianapolis Colts won't go 0-16. We know that much. The Colts' 27-13 victory against division rival Tennessee on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium -- Indy's first win of the 2011 season -- prevented the franchise from going down in NFL history with the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the 2008 Detroit Lions, the only two teams to ever finish a season without a win. But beyond … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Avoid Winless Season, Won’t Play Peyton Manning
Indianapolis Colts Raise Many Questions in Blowing Lead against Kansas City
So much for the common perception that the Indianapolis Colts' defense is built to play with a lead. The Colts' stop unit surrendered 21 unanswered points after the team's offense established a 17-point lead, and Indy suffered a crushing 28-24 home loss Sunday to the Kansas City Chiefs. Now 0-5 for the first time since 1997 after blowing what might have been their best … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Raise Many Questions in Blowing Lead against Kansas City
Indianapolis Colts — And Fans — Need to Prove Themselves Against Pittsburgh
After two bad losses to open the 2011 NFL season, the Indianapolis Colts are close to confirming everyone's worst fears about the team without Peyton Manning. Tonight's prime-time matchup with the defending AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) at Lucas Oil Stadium can either establish one and for all that the Colts can't contend without their four-time MVP starting … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts — And Fans — Need to Prove Themselves Against Pittsburgh
Indiana Hoosiers Open Kevin Wilson Era with Loss
I'm not quite sure that was the way the Indiana University football team wanted to begin its new era. Playing their first game of the 2011 season and under new coach Kevin Wilson, the Hoosiers looked pretty much like, well, the Hoosiers -- the IU teams of the last three seasons under Bill Lynch and the IU teams throughout the program's history -- in a 27-20 loss to in-state … [Read more...] about Indiana Hoosiers Open Kevin Wilson Era with Loss
