The Pony Express: An Indianapolis Colts Video Story

[Kyle K.]

Welcome One & All
Hello everyone, and welcome to my Indianapolis Colts Madden 21 franchise story. I have decided I am going to switch it up somewhat for this time around from what I have done previously and will be streaming all games live when played (archived for those who miss) and a will be posting highlight packages of the games here. Not really sure how it will all work out but hopefully as it goes on everything will get better and better... or at least we can hope.

I have been playing Madden for as long as I can remember, and for better or worse get it nearly every single year hoping that this is the year they recapture the true greatness that was Madden 2005, thanks to 2k5 really putting out a stellar effort. I will be playing Madden on the Xbox Series X, and all streams will be captured in 1080P... sorry don't have that fancy of a capture card for the 4k goodness.

I hope that everyone will enjoy the ride, I am going to be using Mike Lowe's All-Madden slider set which will be linked down below. And without further ado let us dive into this some more!

COLTS NEARLY TRAMPLED BY A JAGUAR
MINSHEW NEARLY RUNS BY THE COLTS ON HIS OWN IN COLTS NARROW WEEK ONE WIN

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - In what turned out to be a hard fought game, much harder than many folks would have liked it to be the Colts managed to pull off an overtime win. Philip Rivers making his Colts debut had a good showing, though no great and nearly showed exactly why the Chargers let him walk away at the end of last season with a incredibly untimely interception in overtime that could have seen the Jaguars pick up the win.

Minshew for the Jags was nearly perfect completing 22-25 passes, though throwing for less than 200 yards it was much more like death by a thousand paper cuts more than anything else. Still Minshew was able to run wild on the Colts defense who did not have an answer, and by himself managed to keep the game close and always having the Jaguars within a play or two of victory. However timely defensive play by the Colts ultimately proved to be to much despite losing DeForest Buckner to injury late in the game. Through the coming week more will be known about his injury and how long his absence will be felt.

To make matters worse for the Colts they will be without starting Right Tackle Braden Smith and Defensive Tackle DeForest Buckner. The loss of Bucker along the defensive live might be the hardest pill to swallow as the Colts are now coming up to face Dalvin Cook who can run for days.
