(Colts) The story behind this trend in Social Media today
04-10-2026
The Indianapolis Colts played the Washington Commanders in London on October 4, 2026, and won 30-13 to move to 2-2. That international game is what put the team at the center of social media conversation today.The clearest viral moment was running back Jonathan Taylor’s touchdown celebration. After scoring, he sat down and mimed sipping tea with his pinky raised, a nod to the London setting. The clip spread quickly under the “JT(ea) time” framing. It also revived the fine debate from the previous week, when 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk was fined for a similar invisible-drink celebration the league treated as an offensive demonstration. Commentators and fans argued Taylor’s version was clearly tea and should not be penalized.A second, more mocking thread targeted Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon. Sideline images of her with a notepad were widely shared with the claim that the page looked blank or more like a crossword than game notes, and the posts turned into a running joke about the team’s early-season struggles even as they pulled away in London.Around those two bits of content, the usual game chatter circulated: Taylor’s multiple touchdowns, the Commanders losing Marcus Mariota early and playing a third-string quarterback, and mixed reactions to a three-score win that still left some Colts fans uneasy about the offense.
