Colts’ Kenny Moore II ridicules team’s effort in loss to Bills

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Kenny Moore II questioned the team’s overall effort Sunday following a 30-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

“I don’t think everybody’s going as hard as possible and, obviously, it’s showing,” Moore told reporters, via ESPN. “I’m not the type to sugarcoat it. Honestly, I don’t think the urgency is there. I don’t think the details are there.

“I don’t see everything correlating from meetings to practice to the games, and it shows.”

Quarterback Joe Flacco, who replaced the No. 4 overall pick from a year ago Anthony Richardson as the starter last week, threw an interception on the first two offensive series of the game – the second of which was returned for a touchdown.

Flacco finished with three interceptions and was sacked four times. Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw for 280 yards, and Buffalo ran for 135 yards as a team.

“You’ve got to define yourself. You’ve got to define the identity of the team,” said Moore, who recorded his first interception of the season Sunday. “We’ve got to look ourselves in the mirror and ask ourselves how bad we want it. And, honestly, it’s (about) turning the page. … The thing that’s frustrating is, you’re letting things leak into another week.

“You’re only as great as your last performance. But once we step out on the field again, you’ve got the opportunity to change that narrative. But to go out and (make) the same mistakes over and over, I think that’s what drives me insane.”

Moore has spent his entire NFL career (since 2017) with the Colts and made the 2021 Pro Bowl.

“We’ve just got to start addressing it and not sugarcoat it or beat around the bush,” he said. “I think that’s what we are lacking. And, honestly, year to year, it’s the same thing.”

Philip Rivers fell one throw short of storybook ending in his couch-to-Colts return

Philip Rivers fell one throw short of storybook ending in his couch-to-Colts return

He had one last throw left in that 44-year-old wing of his. For most of the afternoon, he’d been able to fool Father Time and frighten 68,771 Seattle Seahawks fans inside Lumen Field who’d come to bury Philip Rivers and, instead, watched him push their football team to the very brink of an impossible upset.

There had been a moment when it seemed Rivers might actually pull off the damn thing, too. That was with 1 minute and 55 seconds left in the game. The Colts led for so much of the game and were behind Seattle 15-13, but the ball was in the old man’s hands now. All day, he’d been careful and efficient. It got him a 13-3 lead at one point. Now, he needed to make a play.

And damned if he didn’t make a play.

Damned if he didn’t throw a 16-yard back-shoulder special to wide receiver Alec Pierce. Damned if that ball didn’t mean the Seahawks were now going to burn all of their timeouts because, in the NFL in 2025, just making it past midfield — as that throw did — means you’re in field goal range.

Philip Rivers comes out of retirement for Indianapolis Colts: NFL world reacts

The Indianapolis Colts have cooled considerably as the season has progressed, going from the NFL’s best record to out of the playoff picture entering Week 15 action.

But one of today’s notable storylines is the return of quarterback Philip Rivers after five years away from the NFL. He’s on the Colts’ active roster as they prepare to play the Seattle Seahawks.

The 44-year-old was on Lumen Field hours before kickoff, taking mental reps.

Colts QB Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending injury last week, and backup Riley Leonard suffered a knee injury, though he remains on the active roster. With Brett Rypien the only other QB on their roster and list of available QBs lacking, the Colts called the last signal-caller to lead them in a playoff game (after the 2020 season).

His comeback has piqued the interest of a former Colts coach and players, his former teammates on the Chargers, former NFL quarterbacks and even those from outside football.
