Colts Shatter Scoring Record Through Six Games—Could This Be Their Year to Dominate?

You know, Colts offenses have always had their moments of glory—especially when Peyton Manning was under center—but nothing quite like what we’re witnessing this fall from the 2025 squad. After a nail-biting 31-27 victory over the Cardinals on Sunday, they’ve blasted their way to a stellar 5-1 record, racking up 194 points in just six games. That’s not only the highest in the league with a couple of games still on tap, but also the best start any Colts team has ever managed through this stretch. Pretty remarkable when you think about it—the previous record belonged to the 2007 Manning-led team, who scored 193 points before cruising to a 13-3 season, only to bow out early in the playoffs against the Chargers. Now, this year? With Daniel Jones fitting seamlessly into Shane Steichen’s scheme, Jonathan Taylor tearing up the rushing charts, and rookie tight end Tyler Warren flashing serious promise, the foundation looks rock solid. Sure, the road ahead is long, but if they dodge those pesky injuries—and trust me, that’s a big if—there’s every reason to believe this Colts team could be writing a whole new chapter come playoff time. Up next: a showdown with the Chargers on the road in Week 7. Buckle up! LEARN MORE

The Colts had a lot of potent offenses during the Peyton Manning era, but none of them got off to the kind of start that the 2025 edition of the team has enjoyed this fall.

Sunday’s 31-27 win over the Cardinals pushed their record to 5-1 and it moved them to 194 points scored through their first six games of the season. That’s the most in the league with two games still to play this week and, per the NFL, it is also the most that any Colts team has scored through six games of any season.

Manning’s 2007 Colts had the previous record with 193 points. That team wound up going 13-3 before losing their playoff opener to the Chargers.

This year’s Colts have a lot of football left before they can start thinking about the playoffs, but there’s little reason to doubt their chances of getting there if they can avoid a run of injuries to key players. Quarterback Daniel Jones has been a natural fit for head coach Shane Steichen’s offense, running back Jonathan Taylor is leading the league in rushing yards and tight end Tyler Warren has been one of the most productive rookies in the league.

That’s a strong foundation to rely on for the rest of the season and the Colts will try to keep things rolling against the Chargers on the road in Week 7.
