Good news:CBS Sports Set to Release documentary on Colts NFL…
According to CBS Sports Cody Benjamin, the Indianapolis Colts are among his four desperate teams facing a ‘make or break’ 2025 campaign:
Like Gannon in Arizona, Shane Steichen is coming off just his second season as a head coach. Unfortunately he’s gone backward, if only slightly, since coming out from under Nick Sirianni’s wing with the Philadelphia Eagles. After a 9-8 debut, his Colts dropped to 8-9 amid a flurry of messy quarterback swaps in 2024. Even worse: His offense hinges on a near-miraculous leap from either incumbent youngster Anthony Richardson or former New York Giants castoff Daniel Jones under center. General manager Chris Ballard, meanwhile, is even riper for reevaluation; he’s survived two coaching changes while cycling through countless quarterbacks post-Andrew Luck. The Colts have won precisely one playoff game in the eight years of Ballard’s direction. They’re overdue.
While the Colts ownership can’t fire themselves, there’s no question that longtime general manager Chris Ballard, 3rd-year head coach Shane Steichen, and 3rd-year quarterback Anthony Richardson are facing critical 2025 seasons—all of whom are firmly on hot seats.
Ballard somewhat surprisingly survived this offseason, and entering his 9th season (62-69-1) with the Colts, he has to achieve meaningful results—as he has no AFC South titles and just one playoff win during that same lengthy span (which is an eternity for a modern NFL GM).
