The Indianapolis Colts are No. 1 in the NFL in several key statistics. The Tennessee Titans are last in the league in many of those same areas.
Supremely conditioned Jonathan Taylor is able to turn his game up a notch when defenses are starting to tire in the second half.
The Indianapolis Colts, a team that finished 8-9 in 2024 and hasn’t made the playoffs since the 2020 season, currently sport the NFL’s best record at 6-1, and they have the NFL’s best offense by a runaway margin.
The Colts have punted just 12 times in seven games, which is not just the fewest of any NFL team this season, but at 1.7 punts per game, it’s the lowest punts-per-game average in NFL history.
The Indianapolis Colts secured another victory this past week, widening their lead in the AFC South standings with a 38-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The latest Madden NFL 26 ratings update bestows yet more praise: the Colts added a total of ten points across their roster with not a single reduction in sight.
In a game that saw the winner take the lead in the AFC, the Chargers ended up falling to 4-3 on the season after a 3-0 start.
The Chargers had the likes of safety Derwin James, linebacker Tuli Tuipulotu, and pass-rusher Khalil Mack, yet Jones still completed 23/34 passes for 288 passing yards and two touchdowns. Through seven games, Jones now has 10 TD passes, four scores on the ground, and a mere three turnovers.
Jonathan Taylor, Daniel Jones and Shane Steichen have staked midseason claims to major awards, so it naturally follows that the Colts have the NFL’s best winning percentage.
