Storylines

Rigoberto Sanchez grades out as IND's best

Rigoberto Sanchez (P) is at 82 out of 100 through week 8 of 2026. That score compares him with everyone else at his position — an 84 would mean better than 84% of them — and it comes from charted play, not raw totals.

Where They Stand

Overall: Grade 46, 27th of 32 — in the bottom third.

Weaknesses: coaching (30th), linebackers (30th) and secondary (29th).

Coaching: Shane Steichen falls 1.8 points a game short of what his rosters' grades say he should, over 58 games, 30th in the league.

This season: 2-5. Last time out, they lost to Minnesota Vikings 10-16.

Since preseason: Down 3.9 points since the preseason, mostly because its offense played worse than before (better than 73% of the league, now better than 55%) and its defense played worse than before (better than 48% of the league, now better than 39%).

Written from this club's own numbers: its grade, the offense, defense, special teams and coach that make it up, its last games, its division, and its depth chart. Which facts show up depends on where this club is unusual, so no two teams get the same summary. The site builds the sentences from those numbers. A chatbot does not write them.

Zionsville's Kellen Riddle has become a big hit on the gridiron

The 5-foot-9, 190-pound standout has had plenty to smile about so far in 2026 by averaging eight tackles per contest for the Eagles (7-2), who are in the midst of their first winning campaign since 2021.
