Daniel Jones, in the flesh, nearly six months out from an Achilles tear.

Tyler Warren is a man of his word. The Penn State product lost a bet to former Oregon Duck DeForest Buckner and had to do his media session with an Oregon hat and T-shirt. Buckner: “You look good. You should’ve been a Duck.” 😂

DeForest Buckner continues to be a menace on and off the field 😂 Here, he collects on his bet on the Oregon-Penn State game with Penn State grad and VP of Communications Matt Conti. And then to make it funnier, GM Chris Ballard gets in on it.

This is probably already obvious, but Shane Steichen made this QB decision without regard for the future. This was about 2025 and 2025 only. I wanted to make sure there was no confusion on this point.

Here are the Colts' three third-down plays in yesterday's fourth quarter against the Chiefs. If they convert even ONE of these, their odds of winning increase sharply. They went 0-3. The recurring theme on each one: The Chiefs blitzed every time.

Quick thread from Colts-Jets. First and foremost, Anthony Richardson was decisive as a passer on Sunday. He looked like he was in command of the offense and knew where he was throwing all day, including on this TD to Josh Downs (note Downs coming out of the backfield):

No regrets. A great weekend. A great game. It was all gravy. We weren’t even supposed to be here. #gocanes

Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner says he believes he has a strain not an Achilles tear.

The “Get Up” panel was not kind to Anthony Richardson this morning.

Really animated Anthony Richardson segment on “Get Up” this morning. First, Ryan Clark delivers a sermon: (1/2)

Colts QB Anthony Richardson on reintegrating to the team after initially sitting out following his trade request. He didn’t rescind that request but he’s all in while here.

Colts DT and Oregon alum DeForest Buckner paying his debt to owner Kalen Jackson (Indiana alum) after the Ducks’ loss to the Hoosiers on Saturday. Jackson was watching via zoom and I’m sure thoroughly enjoyed this. 😂

Pretty honest answer from Colts RB Jonathan Taylor after the Colts (8-8) lost their sixth straight game today after an 8-2 start.

Sauce Gardner (with Kenny Moore II): “That’s the first time I’ve been in a locker room that electric this year.”

This is where we are now. Life comes at you fast. 🤣

Seems like a reasonable expectation that the Colts make some kind of QB move this offseason. How would Anthony Richardson process that?

And here’s Dan Orlovsky with some good perspective: (2/2)

ROUGH day for Colts WR Adonai Mitchell. Fumbled a ball through the end zone to negate a TD then was flagged for holding on a would-be 53 yard TD.

Among the players at today’s Colts local pro day for area prospects: Indiana QB Kurtis Rourke. He’s a possible late round pick coming off a recent ACL repair. Didn’t throw today but is back to throwing in his workouts.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor on his would-be 41-yard TD run that ultimately became a fumble through the end zone and touchback. “That will never happen again.”

Tried to be delicate here asking about the fateful trick play involving A.D. Mitchell. Here is what HC Shane Steichen said:
