The Colts have issues and QB Daniel Jones was beaten bloody, but Jonathan Taylor was just too good for the Falcons in Berlin. And he might be too good for anyone, anywhere.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor sure looks like the real MVP. The Colts’ issues have become clear in the last two weeks, but when Taylor touches the ball 35 times it might not matter.

Colts QB Daniel Jones has fumbled five times and thrown four INT in the last 6-plus quarters (two fumbles and 3 INT last week vs. Steelers, three fumbles and 1 INT today vs. Falcons.

Has lost 3 of those fumbles.
That's 7 turnovers in 6 quarters.

The Colts defense had a little more energy on Wednesday after trading for Sauce Gardner.

Even players who might see their role diminished with him in the fold.

Like, Sauce Gardner is an excellent bowler and golfer, even if he's practically brand new to golf – and throws a backward bowling ball.

“We have more than five starters,” Purdue coach Matt Painter said Tuesday. “I think that showed tonight.”

With Trey Kaufman-Renn’s 110-game streak ending, a freshman from Indiana filled in superbly. Insider ⁦‪Nathan Baird‬⁩ has the story from Mackey.

Two first-round picks for Jets CB Sauce Gardner?
Colts GM Chris Ballard was notoriously cautious – cheap – but his talent-acquisition philosophy changed at the same time Carlie Irsay-Gordon assumed power.
There are no coincidences.

When the Colts drafted Adonai Mitchell, it looked like there was opportunity for a freakishly-gifted raw lump of clay to develop.

But the picture has shifted considerably since then, which is why Mitchell was available.

Mitchell was drafted to hedge the Colts' bets at wide receiver, but Alec Pierce's emergence and Mitchell's inability to finish plays cost him.

Indianapolis wasn't going to make a deal at the deadline unless it got a true upgrade.

Going out and getting Sauce Gardner is a haymaker of a swing, a deal that transforms the Colts defense for 2025 and beyond. www.indystar.com/story/sports...

The Colts and QB Daniel Jones played one way for eight games. They played a whole other way Sunday against the Steelers. Which version is real?
Come on. Too easy.
Relax.
