Shane Steichen admitted Wednesday he tried to keep his emotions hidden after learning the Indianapolis Colts were trading Quenton Nelson to Seattle and DeForest Buckner to San Francisco, and now the 2-5 Colts have four days to move on before a trip to Jacksonville, where they haven’t won since 2014.
The Colts are in the midst of a fire sale after dealing DT DeForest Buckner to the 49ers and G Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks. When speaking to reporters
Colts coach Shane Steichen once again told reporters Monday that Daniel Jones will remain Indianapolis' quarterback for the team's game at Jacksonville this week.
A few trades have rearranged the NFL's backup quarterback ranks, but the dust has mostly settled. From a mix of recent first-round disappointments, aging vets, and young project types, here is how the league's QB2 ranks look for the 2026 season.
NFL stars can't play forever, and retirement is coming sooner than later for some of the league's top players. These 25 players could call it quits following the 2026 season.
A recent report suggested that Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen could bench quarterback Daniel Jones if the Colts suffered a loss to the Minnesota Vikings and fell to 2-5 on Sunday.
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones received a vote of confidence from his head coach Sunday, despite another disastrous outing that left the Colts on the short end of a 16-10 loss to the host Minnesota Vikings.
The Indianapolis Colts fall to 2-5 in the 2026 season after losing 16-10 on the road to the undefeated Minnesota Vikings. The new look (same old?) Colts lose their first game since firing longtime general manager Chris Ballard, proving that the roster he built is simply not good enough.
Twice on Sunday, Shane Steichen had a fourth-and-2 in Minnesota territory and a running game that was working. Twice he sent out Spencer Shrader. Both kicks missed, and the Indianapolis Colts lost 16-10 to the Vikings, falling to 2-5 a week after the franchise fired Chris Ballard.
Most of the football-watching world believes the Vikings will improve to 6-0 this week as they host a Colts team coming off a brutal loss to the Titans.
Chris Ballard is gone. And if this season keeps trending the way it has, I have a hard time believing Shane Steichen will be far behind. Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon made her expectations clear when she fired Ballard on Monday.
Shane Steichen heard the boos at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday, and less than 24 hours later the Indianapolis Colts fired general manager Chris Ballard. That leaves Steichen, the coach Ballard hired in 2023, as the most visible holdover from a regime that owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon decided could not wait until the offseason.
The standing of Shane Steichen as the Colts’ head coach has come in the crosshairs following the organization’s decision to fire GM Chris Ballard this week.
The futures of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones and head coach Shane Steichen are up in the air after team owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon fired general manager Chris Ballard following the club's Week 6 loss to the previously winless Tennessee Titans.
The Colts entered 2026 mired in a five-year playoff drought, and though it’s still early, it does not appear they will break it this season. After the team fell to 2-4 with a 26-20 loss to the lowly Titans in Week 6, owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon fired general manager Chris Ballard on Monday.
Following an embarrassing 26-20 loss at home against the previously winless Tennessee Titans on Sunday, October 18, the Indianapolis Colts fired GM Chris Ballard, who had been with the team since 2017, on Monday morning.
The Indianapolis Colts suffered one of their worst losses in recent memory on Sunday. Indy lost 26-20 against Tennessee, giving their division rival their first win of the 2026 season.
Shane Steichen is coaching for his job. There’s no other way to read what happened Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium, where the Indianapolis Colts took a 13-0 halftime lead over a Tennessee Titans team that hadn’t won a game, then lost 26-20 to fall to 2-4.
The Pittsburgh Steelers had a very clear advantage against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Mike McCarthy's unit was coming off of a mini-bye week following a Thursday Night Football contest.
The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't consistently played the level of defense they expect through four games, but taking the football away hasn't been the problem.
Multiple decisions he made following regulation of what became a 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Sunday night have landed him in hot water among pockets of Colts fans.
