THE COLTS
Shane Steichen is in his fourth season as the head coach of the Colts. He led the team to a 9-8 record in his first season, followed by an 8-9 mark in both 2024 and 2025. The 2025 squad ranked ninth in total offense (345.9 yards per game) and eighth in scoring (27.4 points per game).
Quarterback Daniel Jones arrived in Indianapolis in 2025 and went 8-5 as a starter before finishing the season on injured reserve. In 2026, he has passed for 1,021 yards with three touchdowns and four interceptions.
Jones is joined in the backfield by Jonathan Taylor. The running back finished third in the NFL in 2025 with 1,585 rushing yards and led the league with 18 rushing touchdowns. This season, his 398 rushing yards rank ninth, and his six rushing touchdowns are tied for fourth.
