THE COLTS LEAVE LONDON WITH A WIN!The Colts make it two wins in a row, improve to 2-2, and move into 2nd place in the AFC South after taking down the Washington Commanders in London.On this episode of Horseshoe Hangover, Chris & Tom break down The Good and The Bad from a win that certainly wasn’t perfect.THE GOOD: The defense stepped up and did what it needed to do to get the W. Jonathan Taylor continues to keep this offense alive, and Spencer Schrader remains PERFECT — 11-for-11 on field goals this season.THE BAD: The turnovers continue to pile up for Daniel Jones, who gets outdueled by a 7th-round rookie QB making his first NFL start. Sauce Gardner gets burned all game, and Shane Steichen’s play-calling leaves us with plenty of questions.The Colts are back to .500 and have some momentum—but are they actually getting better, or are the wins covering up bigger problems?And, of course, we have to ask the question that never seems to go away:WHEN DO THE COLTS FINALLY FIRE CHRIS BALLARD?!Two straight wins. A 2-2 record. Plenty to feel good about—and somehow, plenty to be pissed about.Welcome to the Horseshoe Hangover.• Like & Subscribe• Drop your thoughts in the comments—we want to hear from Colts Nation!
