Before the season began, I tipped up a dual-play on the Indianapolis Colts in this very column, predicting more than seven wins for the franchise and a playoff berth.
I’ll hold my hands up, even I didn’t expect the Colts to have both selections all but wrapped up inside the first half of the season.
Indianapolis have become the Cinderella story of 2025, leading the entire NFL with a 6-1 record (which could have easily been 7-0, if not for an unforced Adonai Mitchell mishap) and a more than 95% chance of playing postseason football.
It’s been a sensational turnaround for a team that, before a ball was thrown, looked set to blow up the coaching staff and front office at season’s end.
Daniel Jones has played the steady, consistent football that eluded him for so long in New York and Jonathan Taylor is a runaway leader in the hunt for Offensive Player of the Year honours. In another era, he’d also be a serious MVP candidate.
There are success stories all over the field for the Colts this season, but perhaps the biggest of all is TYLER WARREN. The rookie Tight End is putting together a phenomenal season and it’s showing no signs of slowing.
Just last year, Brock Bowers became an instant superstar for the Raiders, clinching the NFL record for the most receiving yards (1,194) in a single season by a rookie Tight End.
In his first seven games, Bowers accumulated 489 all-purpose yards and one touchdown.
In Warren’s first seven games as a professional, he’s racked up 445 yards (rushing and receiving) and four touchdowns.
Although ever-so-slightly off record pace in terms of yardage, Warren is having more impact on the results of games than arguably the greatest rookie Tight End of the modern era.
