EP 380: AR Leads Gutsy Drive as Colts Beat Pats Dec 02, 2024

Show notes

The Indianapolis Colts got the win they desperately needed against the New England Patriots, but coming away with the "Dub" in Foxborough was far from easy.

The box score was lopsided in New England's favor as the Colts put the ball in Anthony Richardson's hands with the game on the line. What followed may not go down in the annals of NFL history, but it was still an impressive achievement from a team needing to finish strong if it hopes to make a playoff push.

Hear from coach Shane Steichen (19:46 ) and Richardson (30:36).

EP 378: Colts Are Their Own Worst Enemy in Detroit Loss Nov 25, 2024

Show notes

The Colts settled for field goals on two early possessions, and that was pretty much the game as they lost 24-6 to the Detroit Lions. While there's no shame in losing to a great team, there is shame in continually shooting yourself in the foot. The Colts simply made too many mistakes to stay competitive.

Hear from head coach Shane Steichen (9:35) and quarterback Anthony Richardson (26:04).

EP 372: Colts' Offensive Ineptitude Continues vs. Vikings Nov 04, 2024

Show notes

A switch at quarterback didn't change the Colts' fortunes in Week 9. The offense didn't muster a single touchdown--you can thank the defense for Indy's sole TD--as Minnesota's shifting defense kept the Colts guessing. Matt Adams looks back at some key moments in Indy's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.

Hear from coach Shane Steichen (16:56) and quarterback Joe Flacco (24:29).

EP 371: Colts Send Shockwaves Through NFL, Bench Anthony Richardson Oct 31, 2024

Show notes

It was, needless to say, a notable week for the Indianapolis Colts. After a rough start from second-year QB Anthony Richardson against Houston, the team announced that veteran Joe Flacco would get the nod as the starting signal caller.

The conversation then turns to the upcoming game against the Minnesota Vikings (44:06) and this week's game predictions (51:34).
