The Indianapolis Colts were on a mission, especially offensively, that was trending toward the team making the playoffs and being scary once there. The last month has been a reminder of just how brutal the NFL can be. Indy is still alive for the postseason, but maybe not really.
Losing a quarterback for any team makes staying postseason worthy difficult. Losing Daniel Jones probably means Indianapolis's season is done, even though four games remaining. Anthony Richardson is still on injured reserve, and Riley Leonard probably isn't ready to lead a team full-time.
Indy might have to look for answers on the free agent quarterback heap, but none of those players would fix all the problems the Colts had against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a 36-19 loss, even if Jones had not suffered an Achilles tendon injury that is likely to cost him the rest of the season and well beyond.
