Overview

  • The Athletic placed Indianapolis at No. 8 in its Week 4 power rankings after a 41-20 win over Tennessee pushed the team to its best start since 2009.
  • Daniel Jones leads the NFL in QBR at 85.8 with 816 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, three rushing scores and no interceptions through three games.
  • Elias Sports Bureau reports the Colts have scored on 77% of possessions and have 103 points through three weeks, with only one punt in that span.
  • Jonathan Taylor powers the league’s top rushing attack with an NFL‑best 338 yards, including 102 yards and three touchdowns against the Titans.
  • Some analysts highlight a soft opening slate (opponents 1-8 combined) and point to Week 4 vs. the Rams as a stronger barometer, as media praise such as Rich Eisen’s segment also triggered fan pushback over comparisons to Peyton Manning.
