Week 2 result: Win (27-24 vs Chargers)

Division record: 1-1
Conference record: 1-1

Week 2 result: Win (31-20 at Texans)
Week 2 recap: For the first time since 2019, the Colts are 1-1 going into Week 3.

The defense compiled six sacks and nine quarterback hits en route to their first victory of the season.

Week 3: at Baltimore Ravens (2-0)

Division record: 0-2
Conference record: 0-2

Week 2 result: Loss (31-20 vs. Colts)
Week 2 recap: C. J. Stroud looked pretty good all things considered. He was without essentially his entire starting offensive line. Wide receivers Nico Collins and Tank Dell had fantastic games, but the Texans defense remains a major problem.

Week 3: at Jacksonville Jaguars (1-1)
