Indianapolis falls to 3-4 on the 2023 season after coming up just short of beating the Cleveland Browns.

Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen pointed the finger at himself. “I think, honestly, stuff like this makes you stronger,” Steichen said. What happens next will be determined by how the Colts respond to all those miscues — and the questionable penalties in the final 40 seconds that bailed out Cleveland (4-2) twice.

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts lost to the Cleveland Browns at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday afternoon 39-38. Gardner Minshew, starting for Anthony Richardson, threw for 305 yards and t...

At times, Gardner Minshew had the Indianapolis Colts' offense humming Sunday. The combination helped Indy produce more total yards, more yards rushing, more yards passing and more points than Cleveland's defense had allowed to any of its first five opponents. Which direction Indy goes will depend largely on Minshew.

Kareem Hunt and Myles Garrett flexed their muscles, P.J. Walker relied on true grit in place of Deshaun Watston and Dustin Hopkins' strong leg kept the Cleveland Browns kicking on all cylinders. To coach Kevin Stefanski, it was a perfect combination. Walker replaced injured quarterback Watson in the first quarter and directed a second straight fourth-quarter comeback, relying on Hunt's second score of the day with 15 seconds left to give Cleveland a 39-38 victory over the Indianapoli...

Kareem Hunt scored on a 1-yard touchdown plunge with 15 seconds left to help the Cleveland Browns rally for a 39-38 victory at Indianapolis. P.J. Walker used nearly all of the final 2 1/2 minutes to engineer his second straight comeback, this time thanks to back-to-back debatable defensive penalties against the Colts. Walker replaced the injured Deshaun Watson in the first quarter after Watson made his first start since Sept. 24. Indy lost its second straight as Gardner Minshew committed four tu...

Rookie WR Josh Downs grew up around pros, and it shows in the 22-year-olds approach to his NFL career.

— Geno Smith (SEA) finished last week’s game with a 12.9-point outing, and he now has just one game with more than 17 fantasy points this season. The Cardinals have allowed the third-most adjusted fantasy points per drop-back (0.48) and the third-highest EPA per drop-back (0.10), letting Smith flirt with the top 10 in Week 7. With no Kyren Williams, expect a heavy dose of Stafford on Sunday.

Gardner Minshew’s return to Jacksonville was a turnover-filled folly. It was a much different version of “Minshew Mania.” Minshew lost a fumble and threw three interceptions in his first game
