Colts fans toasting 6-1 with one eye on the scoreboard and the other on a defense bleeding bodies.

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.

What happened

D.Jones uncorked a 48-yard strike to A.Pierce and capped the drive with a short touchdown to M.Pittman, while J.Taylor's 23-yard scoring run and G.Stewart's pick of J.Herbert turned this into a rout before halftime concerns could even form. At 6-1, the fanbase is louder than it's been in years, already laying claim to Manning and Rivers — which, for a team this allergic to sustained belief, is its own kind of tell.

What fans said

  • “Beating the broncos and chargers in the same season means we get to claim ownership of both Manning and Rivers as colt QBs. 2025 is our year”

  • “Also, Ballard has got to be making some calls for CB’s and DE’s. A handful of sacks against 3rd and 4th stringers is inexcusable and those injuries are stacking up”

  • “HOLY SHIT our offense is amazing. But also, HOLY SHIT, our defense is bad.”
