What Colts receiver Josh Downs plans to do against his younger brother

The feeling is mutual. At the draft, Caleb already fired back:

"He was like, 'We played the Cowboys this year.' I'm like, 'Yeah, you could have a problem, but I am excited, and I'm sure my parents are as well, so that will be great for them.' But I just worry about playing football. We'll focus on the first game."

The Colts and Cowboys are scheduled to face each other during the 2026 regular season; the exact date is still pending the full schedule release, though most matchups outside divisional games and designated international weeks are expected between Weeks 1 and 17.

The talk is already established, and with firm belief, the field will settle it.

Josh has 198 catches for 2,140 yards and 11 touchdowns across three NFL seasons. Caleb, meanwhile, arrives as one of the most decorated defensive players in recent college football history.

Neither of them is backing down, so that should make their matchup interesting.
