With the conclusion of a crazy Broncos vs. Seahawks game on Monday Night, a wild Week 1 has concluded. As we head into Week 2, I wanted to take a moment to look back on Week 1 and talk about some of the oddities. Wide Receiving Struggles: New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, Green Bay Packers

I was walking out of class on Monday afternoon when I saw the alert on my phone: The Falcons had traded Matt Ryan to the Colts for a third-round pick in this year’s draft. My initial reaction was sadness. As a lifelong Falcons fan, Ryan has been my favorite NFL player since I started watching

Tom Brady, Leonard Fournette, Rob Gronkowski, Tristan Wirfs, Antoine Winfield Jr. That’s the haul of starters that it took to push the Tampa Bay Buccaneers into Super Bowl contention, where they would ultimately emerge victorious. That is the result of a very busy free agency, accompanied by one of the better draft classes in the

In my columns detailing the state of the quarterback market, I had connected the Colts to Carson Wentz, saying that dumping him was the best move for the Eagles. However, I thought it would be a poor signing for the Colts, as they might have to give up too much to get him. I ended

Last week saw a lot of blowouts, and as such, upset picks were difficult to come by. None of our writers successfully notched an upset prediction, leading to a low scoring week. For the second straight week, Nate Moller was our highest scorer, collecting nine of 12 possible points outside the upset prediction. He’s challenging

Let me start by saying I am a Colts fan, a huge Colts fan. I was born in 1999, just when Peyton Manning was starting to take the league by storm. I have lived just outside of Indianapolis my whole life. I have plenty of Colts memorabilia at home, including — much to the dismay

In the 2011 NFL season, the Indianapolis Colts began to drift towards mediocrity. Fresh off of a Super Bowl appearance at the end of the 2009 season and a promising future on the horizon, I sat at home every weekend that year wondering if the Colts would ever be as good as they once were

Former Irish offensive lineman Quenton Nelson was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts with the No. 6 overall pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday night, the first offensive lineman to be selected in the draft. The Colts’ pick makes the 2017 Irish captain the 67th player to be selected in the first round of the

Every Sunday I turn on the TV and every Sunday I feel bad for the guy. I watch him pour his heart out for 60 minutes every game, but every game he gets beat up and hit, and his receivers drop passes, and his team loses. I feel bad for Andrew Luck. Luck was supposed
