Colts Reacts Survey: Week 17

The Horseshoe Faithful have spoken this holiday season, and only 24% of Indianapolis Colts fans believe that the franchise is headed in the right direction:

That is slightly up from 17% following the Colts’ home win last weekend against the lowly Tennessee Titans (3-12), but is well within the dregs of optimism. That being said, the Colts have gone 5-5 in their last 10 games, and their inability to beat any of the NFL’s better competition down the stretch this season will likely cost them a wild card playoff spot.

With the Los Angeles Chargers big road win at the New England Patriots on Saturday, the Colts have just a 9% now of making the playoffs.

In reality, their only win against the NFL’s better competition was at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers during Week 4. Otherwise, the Colts have beaten up against the league’s weaker competition, and also had a bad loss during Week 5 at Jacksonville.

Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has already been ruled out for Sunday on the road against the New York Giants, meaning Indianapolis will turn to veteran Joe Flacco again.

Honestly, it feels like yet another lost season for Indianapolis, in an AFC South where the leading Houston Texans (9-7) haven’t been all that impressive for a consecutive season.

The Colts inability to capitalize in one of the league’s weakest divisions yet again is concerning, especially when it’s really been a ‘lost decade’ for the Colts collectively.

The Colts haven’t made the playoffs since 2020, and they haven’t won the AFC South since 2014, having the longest drought of any divisional team to do so.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl each scored 22 points and the Toronto Raptors wrapped up a successful five-game road trip with a 129-111 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night.

Barrett made 9 of 17 shots with three 3-pointers for the Raptors, who won four games on the trip and improved to 6-3 on the road, 8-5 overall. Poeltl made eight of nine shots and had nine rebounds, but was just 6 of 14 at the line.

Toronto had seven double-digit scorers. Brandon Ingram added 19. Scottie Barnes had 14 points, 11 rebounds and six assists.

The Raptors built a nine-point halftime lead and gradually pulled away, the margin reaching 26.

Pascal Siakam scored 30 points with five 3-pointers for the Pacers, who had just two regular starters in the lineup due to injuries. The other healthy regular, point guard Andrew Nembhard, had 22 points and five assists.

The NBA finalists from a year ago are 1-12 and missing seven players. The latest loss is guard Aaron Nesmith, who will miss at least one month with a left knee injury, coach Rick Carlisle said before the game.

Up next

Raptors: Host Charlotte on Monday night.

Pacers: Visit Detroit on Monday night.

Chimpanzee escapes exhibit at Indianapolis zoo, prompting temporary lockdown

A chimpanzee escaped its enclosure and was on the loose at the Indianapolis Zoo Friday morning, but the animal was later located and returned to her exhibit, the zoo said.

“At approximately 10am, a female chimpanzee was seen outside her exhibit,” the zoo said in a statement. “Following emergency protocol, the Indianapolis Zoo was immediately locked down, and all guests were escorted to secure locations. The chimpanzee was sedated and returned to her exhibit.”

Visitors at the zoo told CBS affiliate WTTV they were asked to stay inside the zoo’s dolphin exhibit after the chimpanzee escaped. A photo shared with the station appears to show the chimp standing on top of the enclosure.

The zoo said guests were safe at all times, and there were no injuries to visitors, staff or the chimpanzee.

“The Zoo’s security, animal care and veterinary teams train for these scenarios and responded in a textbook and professional manner,” the zoo said in its statement.

The zoo has since reopened.

One visitor, who identified himself as a bus driver, said on Facebook that he saw the fugitive ape while on a field trip at the zoo with children.

“I’m on a Field Trip at the Indianapolis Zoo with 37 kids, parents, and teachers. Why is there a Chimpanzee on the loose at the Zoo…” the driver, Sherman Williams, wrote.

The zoo housed 21 chimpanzees as of May 2024, according to an identification chart.

Several visitors who spoke to WTHR said they were told to wait in their cars after the incident. Indianapolis Metro Police, State Capitol Police and the city’s fire department were all on the scene, the station reported.
