What’s crackin’, folks — Big Dill here with a SoFi sizzler. The Colts rolled into Inglewood and rolled out with a 38-24 dub over the Chargers, tossing confetti on a total that breezed past the 48.5 number. Bonus storyline spice: Indy head coach Shane Steichen returned to face the franchise where his NFL climb began. That’s cinema, baby. (espn.com)

Indy came out humming. Jonathan Taylor set the tone with a 23-yard house call on the opening drive, then the Colts doubled down at the goal line with a gutsy fourth-and-2 dart to Michael Pittman Jr. for six and a red-zone strike to Tyler Warren. Mix in a pair of first-half takeaways — including a Nick Cross pick at the eight — and the Horseshoe hit halftime up 23-3 with the Chargers stuck in neutral.

The Bolts made it a ballgame after the break. Justin Herbert uncorked chunk plays — a 53-yard moonshot to Oronde Gadsden set up a Quentin Johnston score, and later Herbert fed Keenan Allen to cut it to 31-17 — but special teams and star power answered. Ameer Abdullah’s 81-yard return flipped the field, and JT slammed the door with touchdown runs of eight and 19 yards. Herbert stacked numbers — 420 yards, 3 TD — with Gadsden eating underneath and over the top (7/164/1) and Allen doing Allen things (11/119/1), but Indy’s timely sacks (hello, DeForest Buckner and Laiatu Latu) and situational defense iced the clock.

Quietly efficient? That was Daniel Jones — 23/34, 288 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT — distributing to Alec Pierce (5/98), Pittman (7/58/1), and Warren (4/69/1). And for all the fantasy chatter about Pierce’s boom-or-bust status this week, the deep threat boomed in the box score when it counted. (sbnation.com)

Big Dill of the Game: Jonathan Taylor — 16 carries, 94 yards, 3 TD. When the Colts needed a closer, JT brought the jar and sealed it tight. I’m Dillon “Big Dill” Smith, and this was Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill.
