‘Smallest thing on the football field’: Colts Josh Downs will be home for Christmas in NFL

Posted Dec 22, 2023
Josh Downs will feel the jitters from inside a tunnel at Mercedes-Benz Stadium this Sunday. He’ll have a white Colts helmet strapped tight, a bounce in his cleats and a ping in his heart. It’ll be Christmas Eve. And he’ll be home. It'll be his first game in the NFL in front of his family: from his mother to a brother and a sister to grandparents and uncles and aunts.
