Colts’ Players to Watch: Week 14 @Jaguars

Story byMateo CalizFri, December 5, 2025 at 5:35 PM UTC·3 min readKwity PayeIt is just so hard to judge Kwity Paye, because he is not bad by any means, but his impact as a pass-rusher is almost non-existent, save for perhaps one or two plays a game where he manages to get home, and it’s not like he is a wrecking force against the run either. I honestly do not understand how he keeps getting such a dominant amount of snaps, and I have no clue whether the Colts are going to attempt to re-sign him in the offseason or not, but his future financial health, and the Colts’ playoff chances, are in need of a late-season emergence.

It also does not help that he is facing exotic blitz packages every other snap, which probably takes a ton of mental effort to try and diagnose and beat.

Key Highlights

  • My belief is that Bortolini should be fine and is experiencing the pains of development, but if the Colts’ pass-protection is to improve, he will need to start showing some of those improvements as soon as possible. Josh DownsAfter a blistering start, the Colts’ offense has really struggled in two areas where Downs used to be effective.
  • Moving the chains, and getting quick separation.
  • As a result of the struggles in both areas, opposing defenses are being able to blitz at an alarming rate without any repercusion because the offense just cannot get the quick outs.
  • Downs needs to offer that security blanket to Jones once again, and the offense will start looking more like it did at the beginning of the year.

  • Newly signed Blake Grupe is 86-88 in XP in his career (15-15 this year), and average inside the 50-yard range.
