Best of Monday 10/5: Colts win in London! Daniel Jones was shaky, defense answered the call, + more! Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

0:00 – 18:56 – The Colts improved to 2-2 after their win over London, but Daniel Jones now has seven turnovers through four games. He was also inefficient through the air, not doing much to offset his poor decisions. Shane Steichen doesn’t sound very concerned, but Kevin and Marc are. Sunday’s win was one of the least convincing three-score wins in recent memory.

18:57 – 39:22 - Kevin has more questions than answers after the Colts’ trip to London. Jonathan Taylor, Seth McGowan and DeForest Buckner were game changers, while Washington’s injuries and lack of discipline also helped Indy. Sauce Gardner had a rough day against the Commanders’ backups, while CJ Allen was inactive once again.

39:23 – 55:57 – The Colts defensive tackles, particularly DeForest Buckner, are playing playoff-caliber defense so far. Mooney Ward also had a good game, and Indy was much more disciplined than Washington. Steichen says Jones has done some good things, so what are they?

Monday 10/5: Colts win in London! Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

0:00 – 14:36 – The Colts prevailed over the Commanders in London, and it was a weird one across the pond. James is heading back stateside, so Kevin hosts with Marc. How did the Colts get it done despite shaky play from Daniel Jones and Sauce Gardner? Some like to say, “A win is a win,” but Kevin disagrees.

14:37 – 23:15 – Morning Checkdown

23:16 – 42:12 – The Colts improved to 2-2 after their win over London, but Jones now has seven turnovers through four games.

42:13 – 1:08:53 - Kevin has more questions than answers after the Colts’ trip to London.

1:08:54 – 1:16:50 – Steichen is known for scripting good opening drives, which made yesterday’s start that much odder. We fact-check an insane stat from the text line, then Kevin gives his Outlaw Light Toast of the Game to an unlikely recipient!

1:16:51 – 1:23:42 – Colts have lost the turnover battle in all four games, but they’re sitting at .500 after a quarter of the season. We run through some Postgame Headlines, and Kevin notes how the way that Indy won yesterday likely isn’t conducive to future wins.

1:23:43 – 1:48:05 – The Colts defensive tackles, particularly DeForest Buckner, are playing playoff-caliber defense so far. Mooney Ward also had a good game, and Indy was much more disciplined than Washington. Steichen says Jones has done some good things, so what are they? Morning Checkdown

1:48:06 – 1:55:30 – We give our GOATS of the Week after an eventful week four in the NFL and Kevin gets some gift-giving advice.
