Getting Clowned On By a Non-Uniform Cowboys Player in "Blue Sweats and Stocking Cap" After a Jonathan Taylor Fumble Perfectly Sums Up The Colts' Season
If that is the last we see of Jonathan Taylor as Colts fans... well, that was a pretty sad way to go out. Putting up 23 points and getting clowned on by a bad Cowboys defense. Daniel Jones being exactly what he's always been (except for in short stretches when he fools teams into giving him a big fat contract). Jonathan Taylor rushing for all of 46 yards, 0 TD's, and a lost fumble. A fumble that had non-uniform Cowboys player DeMarvion Overshown dancing on their graves in blue sweats and a stocking cap.
It was a bad penalty too. It pinned the Cowboys back inside their own 20 to start their drive. They immediately punted the ball back to the Colts. The Colts even went on to kick 2 more field goals and take a 23-20 lead. But it didn't matter. Because in a one-score game, if you give any offense in the NFL an opportunity to go up against the Colts in an end-of-game, prevent defense situation... you might as well be facing a practice squad. Except it's not a practice squad secondary. It's a cornerback you gave up two first-round picks for just a year ago.

All because a 7-2 start in 2025 convinced GM Chris Ballard that Daniel Jones was the future. Which, in hindsight, was probably more of a last-ditch fingers-crossed-and-pra effort by Ballard to save his job than it was him actually believing in the guy.
Thanks for that one, Chris.
The NFL trade deadline is tomorrow at 4 PM EST. Have we seen the last of Jonathan Taylor in a Colts uniform? Will Josh Downs get the trade he requested? Is Grover Stewart out the door, perhaps? Is there anybody else on the Colts who NFL teams even want? We'll find out soon enough.
Regardless of what happens at the trade deadline, it's time for Colts fans to cheer for the tank. The saddest tank ever. Because the Colts don't even have a first round pick to tank for. But I guess a pick in the mid-30's is better than one in the 40's. Yay.
