Casey Vallier is joined by Colts Ring of Honor wide receiver Bill Brooks to break down the Colts’ 2026 schedule.

The guys begin by discussing the Colts’ trip to London to face the Washington Commanders, marking the team’s third international game in the last four seasons (:21), then dive into the Colts’ two primetime matchups — a Week 2 Sunday Night Football showdown at the Kansas City Chiefs and a Week 11 Thursday Night Football matchup against the Houston Texans (6:11).

Next, Casey and Bill examine how spread out the AFC South games are compared to previous seasons (12:16), identify what they believe is the toughest stretch of the schedule during the first five weeks (14:10) and discuss where the most favorable stretch of games could come for the Colts (15:22).

The episode wraps up with the guys sharing which matchup on the schedule intrigues them the most heading into the 2026 season (16:57).
