Colts Onside Kick Prowess Makes Opponents Think Twice In 2015

INDIANAPOLIS – Special teams coordinators won’t be sleeping easy when the Colts appear on their 2015 schedule.

The Colts added another layer of preparation for those coaches this preseason when Indianapolis special teams coordinator Tom McMahon reached into his bag of tricks once again.

Last year, the Colts weren’t afraid to go for first-quarter onside kicks on two different occasions.

The high risk turned into plenty of reward.

A pair of successful onside kicks in early season contests against Tennessee and Houston led to early multi-score leads and plenty of frightful opposing special teams units the rest of the season.
