Colts Week 1 Film Analysis: Beatdown vs. Baltimore

The Indianapolis Colts endured a difficult start to their regular season on September 13, 2026, falling decisively to the Baltimore Ravens. Although the squad began positively by finding the end zone on the game's initial series, kicker Spencer Shrader missed the subsequent point-after try, and the host team unravelled across the remaining 56 minutes.

The contest marked the return of quarterback Daniel Jones, who was back under center after rehabilitating a torn Achilles tendon.

Following the blowout defeat, scrutiny has intensified for head coach Shane Steichen and general manager Chris Ballard. The franchise now faces significant questions, with defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo addressing a disastrous showing and team leaders assessing the lineup while monitoring potential starter injuries heading into their second matchup.
