Meet Carlie Irsay-Gordon, the headset-wearing, innovative-thinking new owner of the Colts Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon's education in football began on a bitterly cold day in Green Bay at the age of 5; this is what she's learned

Carlie Irsay-Gordon is an obsessive learner, interested in everything and how it works.

The Colts rank 2nd in the NFL in yards per dropback.

Doyel: Pat McAfee says the Colts 'are gonna win the Super Bowl.' Doesn't sound impossible Led by discarded quarterback Daniel Jones and discarded defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, the Colts destroy the Raiders and surge toward top of AFC.

Breaking good teams, destroying bad ones?
The Colts are becoming the one who knocks.

Jonathan Taylor says he just found out that if a player gets a touchdown and a 2-point conversion in the same game, it’s called an octopus.

I’ve never heard that before.

But I don’t care. JT’s right. From now on, I shall refer to that as an octopus

Something that sticks out about Daniel Jones: Every time the Colts have blown somebody out this season, he’s come into the interview room talking about the missed opportunity he’d like to have bac

AD Mitchell is also on the field. Colts have gone full reserve here.

Send Jonathan Taylor to the Raiders.

His work here should be done.

Colts 40, Raiders 3.

I know the Raiders are terrible.

But when was the last time the Colts regularly dismantled teams like these instead of playing with their food?

Teams that don't have Jerry Jones as owner seem reluctant to trade away pass rushers like him. I don't know why the Browns have Myles Garrett in his prime.

It should have been a defenseless receiver penalty, in my opinion. Felt pretty obvious.

Spencer Shrader with a right knee injury, his return is officially doubtful, but the way he was moving, he's likely out.

Losing Shrader is a huge deal on kickoffs.

Rigo's a witch, but it's an entirely different kickoff style this year.
