When it comes to the Colts’ running backs, Jim Caldwell said it’s easy to look at things the wrong way. Caldwell, in his first season as the Colts’ head coach, said many may view the production in the team’s running game this past season as solely reflective of the running backs, that the reason the [...]

Jeff Saturday isn’t leaving Indianapolis. The three-time Pro Bowl center who was expected to be one of the top centers on the free agent market suddenly changed plans Thursday, signing a three-year deal that will likely allow the 33-year-old retire to finish his career with the team that brought him into the league. Saturday’s agent, [...]
Marvin Harrison refused to take a pay cut. The Indianapolis Colts couldn’t afford to keep him without one. On Monday, the two sides reached agreement on one thing: Harrison will be a free agent.

Apparently, winning is still too complex for the Detroit Lions. Two turnovers, short fields and playing against a worn down, short-handed Colts defense wasn’t the answer, either. Peyton Manning led the Colts on two fourth-quarter scoring drives, delivering another blow to Detroit’s psyche with a 31-21 victory Sunday and keeping the Lions on track for [...]
Indianapolis’ winning formula still works. Peyton Manning threw for three touchdowns, Dominic Rhodes ran for one and cornerback Kelvin Hayden’s interception return produced another as the Colts routed Cincinnati 35-3 on Sunday. It was a stark contrast from the past month when Indy became just the third team in league history to win five consecutive [...]
A November surge may have helped the Indianapolis Colts’ strengthen their playoff chances, but they can’t afford a letdown – especially against one of the NFL’s worst teams.
