Colts' offensive line takes care of business, but still taps into fun side

The Colts' offensive linemen are a tight group on and off the field, and their personalities form a fun-loving foundation.

Expect a lucrative offseason for tight ends

With the regular season winding down, attention across the league is understandably starting to turn toward the offseason.  There are a ton of interesting storylines for 2020 free agency, and one of them is that tight ends across the NFL are about to get paid. A number of top tight ends are either going to be entering free agency or the final years of their deals, and multiple sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN.com they will “redefine the value of NFL tight ends, and the position is about...

Colts Final Injury Report for Week 15: Moore ruled out; Desir, Hilton questionable Vs Saints

Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports

The Indianapolis Colts look to be headed towards a very difficult matchup with the New Orleans Saints this Monday night. The 10-3 Saints are extremely talented on both sides of the ball, and the Colts will be without their best cover corner on one side of the ball, and possibly their largest big-play threat on the other.

For the Colts final injury report of the week, the team rested five players as they typically do on the final day of practice in...

Colts Cast: Colts face uphill battle in New Orleans on Monday Night Football

The Indianapolis Colts will have another tall task Monday night when they travel to New Orleans to face the 10-3 Saints on Monday Night Football.

The Saints have one of the top scoring offenses in the league, one of the best pass rushes as well, and the bad news for the Colts is that they don’t do so well when their opponent possesses such skills. The Colts will be without Kenny Moore,

Another issue lies with the Saints being one of the highest passing yardage offenses in the league. The...

Colts wideout T.Y. Hilton will be game-time decision Monday

The Indianapolis Colts could be close to getting back a key player. Colts coach Frank Reich said Saturday that wide receiver T.Y. Hilton will be a game-time decision on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints, but cautioned that the team wants him as close to 100 percent before they play him. Hilton has played just once since Oct. 27, and has been bothered by a calf injury. Not surprisingly, the Colts have only won once in that span.  At 6-7 with a road game against the Saints looming,...

Colts wideout T.Y. Hilton (calf) misses final practice ahead of game against Saints

Indianapolis Colts star wide receiver T.Y. Hilton missed the team’s final practice on Saturday ahead of Monday night’s pivotal game against the New Orleans Saints. Hilton was a limited in practice this week. He has appeared in just seven games this season due a the calf injury he continues to recover from, and a quad injury from earlier this season. Most recently head coach Frank Reich called the injury “week to week.” When healthy, Hilton is among the league’s most dangerous...

Photo by Zach Bolinger/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images

The Indianapolis Colts only had three names on yesterday’s report, but they were big names for certain. T.Y. Hilton, Pierre Desir and Kenny Moore II are all vital to the team’s success, and need to be active to make the Colts a competent player against the New Orleans Saints Monday night.

The Colts need a big boost going into the final three weeks of the season, and a ton of help from the AFC to get themselves a playoff berth....

Film Room: Should the Colts retain Jabaal Sheard after the season?

What should the Colts do with impending free agent Jabaal Sheard?

The Indianapolis Colts have a few difficult decisions to make in the upcoming off-season. With just under 100 million dollars in projected cap space, money shouldn’t be too much of an issue for the Colts. The main decision that needs to be made is what direction to go with the team and a few veteran free agents after a season that ended in missing the playoffs. One of the tougher...

Blake Pace’s NFL Week 14 Power Rankings

Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports 32. The Cincinnati Bengals (1-12) / LW: 31

Back to their losing ways, I probably shouldn’t have ever moved the Bengals out of the bottom slot in the first place. Secure the No. 1 pick, draft Joe Burrow and move onward and upward.

I was really rooting for Eli Manning to get that win on Monday Night to finish his career with an above-.500 record, but just like the Bengals this team’s sole focus should be securing...
