For the last decade, the Indianapolis Colts have been trapped in one of the darkest eras in franchise history. The team hasn’t won a division title since 2014 and, in that time, has only managed four seasons with a winning record, two playoff appearances, and a single postseason victory.
Incredibly, Indianapolis has another unfortunate streak that stretches even farther back than 2014. The Colts have gone 11 consecutive years without winning their regular season opener, which is more than twice as long as any other team in the NFL. This drought has outlasted countless players, coaches, and executives.
