Josh Downs was already playing on more than 80% of Indianapolis Colts’ offensive snaps. Through nine games, that turned into 33 catches, 354 yards and one touchdown.
Quarterback is the most important position for an NFL team. That wasn’t always the case, but it has been the case for, you know, 50 years at this point essentially.
The Indianapolis Colts were busy in the weeks leading up to the trade deadline, but Jonathan Taylor was not one of the players who got to join a different team.
A trade deadline that sent Josh Downs to Kansas City and Keenan Allen to San Francisco left the Indianapolis Colts with a 2-7 record, a five-game losing streak and eight games to make something out of 2026.
Keenan Allen has no time or interest in reigniting an old beef with Mike Evans. After all, they’re now teammates with the San Francisco 49ers. On Wednesday, Allen cleared the air about his social media spat with Evans back in 2020. “Everybody wants to bring it back up, obviously.
Daniel Jones has admitted he was unhappy with the Indianapolis Colts’ decision to trade away four key players before the NFL trade deadline. The quarterback made it clear that the departures were difficult to accept as a player still trying to win games.
At 2-7, the Indianapolis Colts are a terrible football team that is not going to make the playoffs this season. Worse yet, they don’t have their first-round pick this year due to the awful Sauce Gardner trade from 2025, so even if they somehow get the No.
The Indianapolis Colts approached the trade deadline like a team ready to start over. They moved Quenton Nelson, DeForest Buckner, Keenan Allen and Josh Downs, collecting draft picks while dismantling a roster that has stumbled to 2-7.
From Billy "White Shoes" Johnson to Deion Sanders to Devin Hester, here are the greatest return men for each of the NFL's 32 teams.

Two weeks of trade talk are finally over in Indianapolis, and what’s left is a 2-7 Colts team with eight games to play. The front office shipped Josh Downs to Kansas City and Keenan Allen to San Francisco at the deadline, kept Jonathan Taylor and left Shane Steichen to figure out who catches passes for Daniel Jones the rest of the way.
Downs should give the Chiefs the depth they need. He had 354 receiving yards and one touchdown catch in nine games with the Colts (2-7).
Since 1990, 46 NFL running backs have led or tied for the lead in rushing touchdowns on the season. How many of these leaders can you name in five minutes?
The Colts apparently let another potential trade slip away before Tuesday’s deadline. Another team was willing to give up two Day 3 picks, including a fourth-rounder, for defensive tackle Grover Stewart, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

The San Francisco 49ers addressed a positional need before Tuesday's trade deadline wrapped up, making another trade with the Indianapolis Colts by acquiring Allen for a 2027 sixth-round pick.
According to Jordan Schultz, the Colts were offered a fourth-round pick and another late-rounder as part of a trade for veteran DT Grover Stewart last week. However, the Colts elected to wait until the trade deadline this week hoping to smoke out the best offer.
The deal reflects two franchises operating on different timelines: Kansas City chasing its fourth Super Bowl win since 2019-20 and Indianapolis accumulating draft picks for the future.
Taylor signed a two-year contract extension this past summer. He also never went public with a trade request amid the club's ongoing struggles.
Indianapolis fell to 2-7 on the season when the club suffered a 27-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
