Entering the 2025 NFL season, the Indianapolis Colts had extremely low expectations. NFL analysts consistently ranked the Colts as among the league’s worst, as low as 31st in some preseason power rankings.
Back in August, FanSided projected Indianapolis as the worst team in the weak AFC South. A QB dilemma — and plenty of other question marks — was not a cause for optimism.
Daniel Jones and the Colts have proven a lot of doubters wrong over the last two weeks. A completely unexpected 2-0 start has reshaped perceptions of Indianapolis. Deservedly, people are noticing, and the team’s stock is skyrocketing.
