The Horseshoe is heading across the pond! The Colts and Commanders meet in London with both teams sitting at 1-2 and looking for a massive Week 4 win.Before we dive into the matchup, we hit some of the crazier storylines surrounding the NFL right now. The league is handing out fines for touchdown celebrations that imitate drinking a beer — including Colts OL Matt Goncalves — and we ask the obvious question: Has the No Fun League officially gone too far? 🍺We also discuss the open roof at Lucas Oil Stadium and whether the elements create home field disadvantage for the Colts. Plus, what's happening with the NFL's London experience? Ticket sales for Colts-Commanders have been slow enough that the NFL reduced prices on remaining seats in an effort to fill the stadium.Then it's time for FOOTBALL.🔥 Colts Offense vs. Commanders Defense: How should Shane Steichen attack a Washington defense that's been strong against the run but vulnerable through the air? Can Daniel Jones and the Colts passing game take advantage while still getting Jonathan Taylor involved?🔥 Colts Defense vs. Commanders Offense: Can Indy finally generate consistent pressure, control the line of scrimmage and keep Washington's playmakers from taking over? And with Jayden Daniels' status uncertain, how much does the matchup change if Marcus Mariota gets the start?It's Colts vs. Commanders from London, and we're breaking down everything Indy needs to do to come home 2-2.Finally we give our NFL picks for week 4 with a few interesting takes.

This week on Horseshoe Hangover, Chris and Tom break down what has to change—and it starts with EFFORT. The Colts were outplayed, out-executed and embarrassed against Baltimore. If they bring that same effort to Kansas City, this one could get ugly fast.We dive into the chess match on both sides of the ball. How does Shane Steichen prepare Daniel Jones and this offense for Steve Spagnuolo's aggressive, disguised pressure packages? Can Jonathan Taylor keep the Colts out of obvious passing situations and prevent Spags from turning the game into a blitzing nightmare?Then we flip it around. Andy Reid. Patrick Mahomes. Motion. Misdirection. Tempo. After the Colts surrendered 506 yards and 41 points against Baltimore, Lou Anarumo and this defense have to be dramatically better prepared, better aligned and more disciplined against one of the NFL's most difficult offenses to defend.Week 1 was embarrassing. Week 2 is an opportunity to respond.Does this Colts team have the effort, preparation and toughness to walk into Arrowhead and compete—or are we about to watch another bloodbath?Grab a drink and join Chris and Tom as we break down Colts vs. Chiefs on Horseshoe Hangover.
