Colts news: Pat McAfee blasts Indy's 'historically awful' defense

On Sunday night, the Indianapolis Colts suffered another loss, this time falling to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime, bringing their 2026 season record to 0-2. Despite putting up a strong fight, the Colts ultimately fell to Patrick Mahomes, who threw for nearly 400 yards, including a game-winning field goal. Former player Pat McAfee has harshly criticized the team's defense, stating that it is "historically awful" and has allowed over 1,000 yards of offense in just two weeks.

This poor defensive performance was evident in both the previous game against the Baltimore Ravens and the tough matchup against the Chiefs. McAfee pointed out that the only team to have allowed more offensive yards against a defense in a shorter time was the Seattle Seahawks in 1976. Throughout the season, the Colts have struggled defensively, failing to stop key players like Lamar Jackson and Travis Kelce.

While some questioned the decision to go for a game-tying field goal in overtime, it is now clear that the Colts will face even greater challenges as they prepare to host the Houston Texans, who are looking to secure their first win of the season.
