by Kent Sterling Turnovers kill. There is no statistic in football more telling than turnover differential, and the New England Patriots won the turnover battle 3-0 over the Colts, including a pick six that helped Bill Belichick’s evil horde jump out to a 14-0 lead midway through the first quarter. So now the Patriots will either […]
by Kent Sterling The Patriots are the most enigmatic successful team in the NFL led by the most baffling of coaches. Finishing with a 12-4 regular season record, it’s not possible to figure out what path they use to win. The Colts might be the second most vexing team in the league. One Pro Bowl […]
by Kent Sterling A few weeks ago, I said something during a podcast that I regret. For years, I have warned hosts to not indulge in a relaxed conversation into a live microphone, and finally I violated my own wisdom.

by Kent Sterling This is a weird game because in two weeks these two teams could be playing again in a playoff game in Indianapolis. Neither the Colts nor Chiefs will be holding anything back on Sunday, but it’s damn tough to beat a good team twice in 14 days. That means Sunday’s loser might […]

This week, it’s not even close to over. Click here to follow Kent on Twitter The Colts looked […]
by Kent Sterling It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of discipline, it was the age of foolish penalties, it was the epoch of passiveness, it was the epoch of aggression, it was the game of Light, it was the game of Darkness, it was the […]
by Kent Sterling Last week, the Indianapolis Colts faced an opponent coming off three straight losses forced to start a backup quarterback. Tavon Austin ran wild, and the St. Louis Rams trounced the Colts 38-8. The Tennessee Titans, who have lost their last three home games and four of five overall will trot out backup […]
by Kent Sterling The last time the Indianapolis Colts were beaten by 30 or more points at home against a team that did not qualify for the playoffs was November 29, 1993. The San Diego Chargers behind Stan Humphries and Marion Butts beat Jeff George and Jessie Hester 31-0. Today, they lost 38-8 against a […]
