FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

The Colts re-convened at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center on Monday not satisfied with being 8-2, and with their focus firmly shifting to Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs in Kansas City. 

Taylor recorded 286 scrimmage yards (244 rushing, 44 receiving) and three rushing touchdowns in the Colts' OT win over the Falcons.

Gardner just met his new teammates and coaches on Wednesday, but already fit in seamlessly as he helped the Colts secure an overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

By scoring two rushing touchdowns on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, Taylor passed Pro Football Hall of Famer Edgerrin James to set a franchise record with 65 career rushing touchdowns. 

Gardner's arrival brings even more energy and motivation to a team that has been radiating confidence all season.

Pierce and Gardner's daily competition on Cincinnati's practice field helped them both reach the NFL. Now, reunited as Colts teammates, they can help push each other even more.

Gardner's personality and his "rare" football skills have helped him immediately fit in with the rest of the Colts defense.

Gardner cleared concussion protocol and will play in the Colts' Week 10 game vs. the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin.

The Colts take pride in their ability to play complementary football, and Gardner's presence will only help continue that trend.

Downs will begin wearing No. 2 this weekend; Gardner has worn No. 1 since entering the NFL in 2022.
