On November 4, Stephen A. Smith expressed strong criticism of the Indianapolis Colts during ESPN's 'First Take'. Discussing the Colts' upcoming matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, Smith stated that the Colts are performing worse than the Cowboys, citing their 2-6 record. He slammed the organization, particularly owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon, for not addressing the team's struggles. The Colts recently parted ways with former general manager Chris Ballard after a disappointing loss to the Tennessee Titans and have since lost additional games. Trade discussions are reportedly ongoing involving several players, including running back Jonathan Taylor.
