Once you sift through all the Ray Lewis and Harbaugh family stuff — and that requires a lot of sifting — you get to the real meat of the discussion leading up to the Super Bowl. As is often the case, it’s really about the direction of the game, how [...]
In many ways, this season has been about answering the big questions. Is Andrew Luck the real deal? (You betcha) Was Ryan Grigson the right man to guide the franchise into the post-Peyton era? (No doubt) Was launching the post-Peyton era the right move for Jim Irsay? (Abso-friggin-lutely) How long [...]
At least a year ahead of schedule, we arrive at another first: a truly big game for these young Colts. At 6-3, the Colts are very likely the biggest surprise of the NFL season. At 6-3, the Patriots are simply experiencing the status quo. This will be an invaluable game [...]
Among the many lessons a team can learn from a game like this, the most important came from the sideline. One coach played not to lose, and lost. One coach played to win, and won. With the most accurate kicker in NFL history from 50-plus yards at his disposal, Tennessee [...]
Bruce Arians would like to get a little more balance in the offense, which means finding more productivity in the running game. The Colts and their interim coach will have to do so without their leading rusher. Coming off his best game of the season, 84 yards on 17 carries, [...]

His statistics took a step backward. That did not deter Andrew Luck from continuing his methodical march in the right direction. Showing impressive resiliency after a wobbly start in his first road game, Luck directed three scoring drives on four possessions to rally the Colts from a 14-0 deficit into [...]
For a guy that strives to avoid comparisons to his predecessor, Andrew Luck sure has a knack for bringing Peyton Manning to mind. Take Sunday, for example. On his first NFL pass, he tossed a little dink that running back Donald Brown turned into a 63-yard touchdown. On Manning’s first [...]
So many hot buttons, so little time. As the Colts prepare to open the preseason Sunday against Jeff Fisher’s St. Louis Rams in Lucas Oil Stadium (1:30, 1070 the Fan), there will be no shortage of areas of interest, uncertainty or downright doubt. In fact, if you wanted to make [...]
With so many new faces in camp, you’d think there would be major battles for starting spots throughout the depth chart, and that ultimately may be the case. Heading into the preseason opener against the Rams in Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday (1:30 p.m., 1070 the Fan), there are relatively few [...]
