JJ Stankevitz is joined by Colts Reporter Larra Overton to dive into a season recap. They begin by breaking down the Colts' struggles to win close games (2:00) and examine whether the team's 8-2 start through the first 10 games is something the Colts can realistically replicate (12:55). Later the duo discusses Daniel Jones' play before his injury, in context of the team's decision to sign Philip Rivers (28:00) before closing with a big-picture conversation about whether it makes sense to run it back with Jones and head coach Shane Steichen in 2026 (35:27).
