The Indianapolis Colts have just written their name in NFL history with an impressive statistic that has football fans across the USA talking.
The team became the first team in the Super Bowl era to go through its first two regular-season games without kicking a field goal. A rare feat, especially in a league where defensive pressure usually forces coaches to fall back on their punter sooner or later.
Above all, this performance reflects the effectiveness of the Colts' forward line, which was led with confidence and consistency. Whether in the air or on the ground, the offensive unit found a way to progress with each sequence, avoiding the fruitless third downs that usually lead to a punt. It's also a sign of confidence on the part of the head coach and his staff, who rely on boldness and creativity to keep the ball in their possession.
Defensively, this also benefits the Colts, as the unit spends more time resting while the offense dictates the pace. The result: a more balanced team, capable of maintaining a constant intensity throughout the game. The offensive statistics accumulated over these first two games confirm that the Colts have not only been lucky, but that they possess a solid and effective structure.
A promising start to the Colts' season
This extraordinary start to the season could well set the tone for an optimistic 2025 campaign. Of course, there's still a long calendar ahead, and opposing defenses will be looking to break this historic sequence. But one thing is clear: the Colts have just sent a strong message to the entire NFL. If their forwards maintain this level of consistency and creativity, Indianapolis could quickly position itself as one of the teams to watch in the playoffs.
