Just how good was the Indianapolis Colts’ offense on Sunday? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This isn’t exactly Peyton and Edgerrin. There’s no Marvin and Reggie. They don’t even have a tight end named after a major American city or a lineman named for a day of the week.
Then again, those powerhouses from the first decade of the 21st century never scored points on 14 out of their first 17 possessions to begin a season the way the 2025 club has done. No team has done that. Against Denver, Jim Bob Cooter’s crew would have made it seven out of nine point-scoring drives if not for the equivalent of a one-play kneel down at the end of the first half.
