Colts struggle in 34-6 preseason loss to Falcons

The Colts experienced a disappointing 34-6 defeat against the Falcons in their second preseason game on August 22, 2026. Both quarterbacks, Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard, struggled to perform effectively, with Richardson completing 3 of 9 passes for 24 yards and Leonard finishing 7 of 14 for 62 yards with limited offensive output. Rookie linebacker C.J. Allen, recently drafted in the second round, faced challenges on the field, trailing plays and failing to make key tackles. With roster cuts approaching in eight days, several players’ positions are in jeopardy as they seek to prove themselves worthy of a spot on the team.
