Consider this the beginning of the #SteichenForCOTY campaign, as I had my doubts, especially after the Bengals’ loss, but a win like this one makes him the favourite for the award in my biased opinion. There has not been another COTY candidate that has dealt with as many injuries as Steichen, one could make the argument perhaps for Stefanski and the Cleveland Browns, but that roster is more talented than the Colts. Another candidate is DeMeco Ryans, as his Houston Texans’ are surpassing expectations, so it will probably go down to the wire between the rookie head-coaches. A Steichen win in the final week would make it hard for the award to go to Ryans, but lets not get too ahead of ourselves.
