In this edition of the Colts Cover-2 Podcast, IndyStar Colts insiders Joel Erickson and Nathan Brown tackle several big-picture topics as the 7-1 Colts reach the halfway point of the 2025 NFL season. To kick things off, the pair take a look at this weekend’s matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers and what impact veteran QB Aaron Rodgers could have on this game, the tough road the Steelers defense will face and what it would take for the Colts to lose. Then, Joel and Nathan dive into the ‘Jonathan Taylor for MVP’ discourse and what it would likely take for the Colts running back to be the first non-QB to win the award since 2012. To end the episode, Nathan and Joel discuss the NFL trade deadline market. Joel gives a name to look for as a possible trade target for Chris Ballard, and the pair give their final takes on whether or not they think the Colts will ultimately make a move by the Nov. 4 deadline.
