The Dallas Cowboys scored 33 points in the fourth quarter en route to a rout of the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night.

The Indianapolis Colts’ fading playoff hopes were further damaged after losing to the lowly Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night.

The first big move of Jeff Saturday’s tenure was an enormous one, deciding to put veteran quarterback Matt Ryan back in the starting lineup.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan opened up about his benching for the first time on Wednesday.

Colts LB Shaquille Leonard has seen the criticism and he has a message: “If I’m ready to go, I’m going to play.”

Nobody — not the referees, Matt Ryan or Chris Jones — is saying what Jones said to draw the penalty, but it’s a rare unsportsmanlike conduct.

The Indianapolis Colts entered Sunday’s game 0-1-1 with an ailing offense but managed to upset Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Frank Reich got out-coached; Matt Ryan flailed; the offensive line hasn’t lived up to reputation; Chris Ballard was wrong about the receiver depth.

Shaquille Leonard remains on the active/PUP list, and the Indianapolis Colts have talked about the possibility he might not play Week 1.

Colts linebacker Darius Leonard had back surgery to repair an injury that has plagued him this offseason, according to head coach Frank Reich.
