FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

Owens gave a fiery pregame speech prior to the Colts' Week 3 win over the Houston Texans.

Shrader overcame plenty to be the version of himself we saw on Sunday against the Houston Texans.

Shrader felt a tweak in his groin during pregame warm-ups, but quickly addressed the issue with trainers and wound up connecting on all four of his field goals, including the game-winner, in the Colts' Week 3 win over the Houston Texans.

The Colts signed Slayton to add explosiveness to their offense with wide receiver Alec Pierce (heel) slated to be placed on injured reserve.

The Colts got inside the Chiefs' red zone on their first offensive play of overtime, but had to settle for a game-tying field goal – which then set up Harrison Butker's game-winning field goal as time expired in overtime.

The Colts' first three games of 2026 come against aggressive, well-coached and talented defenses in the Ravens, Chiefs and Texans. And after losing to Baltimore in Week 1, the Colts have an idea of where they need to quickly improve on offense.

The Colts allowed 506 yards of offense and did not record a pass break-up or tackle for a loss in their Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

The Colts entered the 2026 season with a team-wide collective belief, but by Sunday evening were left to pick up the pieces from a three-score defeat to the Baltimore Ravens.

DeForest Buckner underwent neck surgery on New Year's Eve 2025, and through a grueling rehab – both mentally and physically – the heart and soul of the Colts' defense will be back on the field in Sunday's season opener against the Baltimore Ravens.
