"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." These words by Toni Morrison sum up why I got into writing after being an avid reader for most of my childhood. After juggling with words for years, it still comes as a surprise how much there is to write and read. Despite being a software engineer, the will to keep on writing got me involved with poetry and later content creation. 

The additional desire for storytelling and my history of athletics paved the way for EssentiallySports. With the dream to return to my athletic roots and absorb as much knowledge as I can, I am grateful to keep on learning new things every day about various sports.

Despite being more of an off-court reader, the thrill that game coverage instilled within me got me more involved with the NFL. Even though the stories revolving around the NFL are very intriguing, the hype and energy of the games is the literal cherry on top for me. When I am not immersed in NFL gameplays and off-court stories, I am usually lost in writing poems, cooking, and playing with colors.

Patrick Mahomes [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/patrick-mahomes/] has been on the fast track to superstardom since his debut. Comparisons with the GOAT Tom Brady have been present as well. But the former NBA Champion Jeff Teague has Mahomes above in the list than Peyton Manning [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/peyton-manning/]. The Kansas City Chiefs [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs-nfl/] won their third Super Bowl in the last 5 years on the back of marvelous Mahomes. And for the 34-year-old Teague, that is enough evidence for the Chiefs QB’s greatness! PEYTON MANNING LEFT BEHIND BY THE CHIEFS’ QB Teague represented several franchises during his basketball career. But the former champion with the Boston Celtics [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/boston-celtics/] has taken up a coaching job at a high school in Indianapolis. Manning’s legacy is strong in the city because of his Super Bowl win with the Indianapolis Colts [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/indianapolis-colts/]. “Everybody in Indianapolis loves f*****g Peyton Manning, I do too I like Peyton”, said Teague on ‘Club 520 Podcast’. However, Teague dropped the bombshell opinion soon after. “But Patrick Mahomes is better than Peyton Manning”, said the former Celtic. And he came up with receipts to back his point as well.

On the other hand, Mahomes in his just 7 seasons has achieved the same feat thrice. In total, Manning played 18 seasons, including his time with the Denver Broncos, [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/denver-broncos/] and managed only two Super Bowl wins. However, there is still one criterion that Mahomes lags behind Manning. PATRICK MAHOMES EYES RECORD FOR THE FUTURE Mahomes has overtaken several greats of the past. However, he hasn’t managed to secure the NFL MVP status more than twice in career history. And this last season was one of the worst for Mahomes in terms of performance during the regular season. Patrick Mahomes celebrates after emphatic win [https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_editorial_landscape_12_desktop/chiefs/zjfwguxhug0pmniiz4mb] Whereas, Manning secured the NFL MVP title on 5 different occasions in his career. Famously retired after the MVP season and Super Bowl win. But it is Mahomes’ record in the postseason that has vowed everyone and brought him and the Chiefs immense success. Irrespective, Mahomes would love to contribute more during the regular season as well and leave no questions unanswered. Is Patrick Mahomes better than Peyton Manning? Let us know in the comments.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Indianapolis Colts 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Since being founded in Baltimore in 1953, the Colts have been a member club of the NFL. The storied franchise was one of three NFL teams to form the AFC following the 1970 merger. Their time in Baltimore was fruitful, to say the least as they advanced to the Playoffs 10 times and won 3 NFL championships.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-500623 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210102195552/india.png" alt="" width="905" height="755" />
<p style="text-align: center">Additionally, the Colts went 1-1 in Super Bowl appearances during their time in Baltimore, and it's clear that they were shaping up to be a legacy franchise. The relocation to Indianapolis came in 1984, and their success seemingly continued in good measure. The club accrued one Super Bowl chip, two conference championships, and made 16 playoff appearances since joining under the Indianapolis banner.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Furthermore, the club has been home to some of the most prolific stars to ever step foot onto the football field. 1998-2011 marked the Peyton Manning era, and a Super Bowl chip was also consolidated under his reign. Although he was unceremoniously released from his contract by owner Jim Irsay in 2012, his impact on Colts club history cannot be ignored.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-320052 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200721000342/Peyton-Manning-Earnings.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1000" />
<p style="text-align: center">The 2020 season saw the franchise round out a 10-5 record and a number 2 placement in the AFC South. The Colts improved upon their 7-9 2019 season with a week 13 win over the Houston Texans and are making their run towards the playoffs. They will also attempt their first AFC South title since 2014.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Colts’ color palette was picked as blue and white to reflect professionalism, reliability, and loyalty to their fans and football. The earliest logo saw a jumping horse wearing a football helmet and holding a rugby ball. The ‘Baltimore Colts’ wording was ditched in before carrying on the iteration from 1961 to 1978.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-500624 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210102195643/colts-1.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="454" />
<p style="text-align: center">From 1979- to the modern-day, the Indianapolis Colts went with the now-iconic horseshoe with seven white grommets. It was meant to signify luck and hope and became a signature for the franchise. The years that followed saw minor angle and contour changes, however, the essence remained the same. Finally, 2020 saw a new visual identity is added in the form of a Horseshoe taking on the letter ‘C’</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">James Irsay is the owner and CEO of the Colts and he inherited the club from his father Robert Irsay, who built a fortune through successful heating and air-conditioning companies. James ‘Jim’ Irsay was 12 years old when his father purchased the then ‘Baltimore Colts’.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-500628 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210102195907/irsay.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1267" />
<p style="text-align: center">After graduating from SMU in 1982, Jim joined the Colts’ professional staff and was named the Vice President and General Manager in 1984. He became the youngest owner in the NFL at the age of 37, following a legal battle with his stepmother over ownership. As of January 1st, 2021, Jim Irsay’s net worth was estimated at $3 billion courtesy of Forbes.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Indianapolis Colts 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Allegiant signed a deal to become the official airline partner of the Indianapolis Colts. As part of the agreement, the upper terrace of the Lucas Oil Stadium was named the Allegiant Terrace level. What’s more, Allegiant will give Indiana residents the chance to compete to be permanently featured on one of the 133 banners on the terrace level.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The franchise also has tie-ups with Caesars Entertainment and William Hill making the Sports Betting sponsors of the Colts. The deal sees sponsors of a free-to-play ‘Pick 6 Predator’ game on the Colts Mobile app. Correct picks on the app are rewarded with weekly prizes, and all participants are entered into a chance to win a trip to Las Vegas to stay at the Caesars Entertainment property.</p>
