Shane Steichen is playing with fire while Colts’ playoff hopes are on the line

The Indianapolis Colts started the 2025 season off as one of the strongest teams in the league. There were concerns from doubters that the success was only due to an easy schedule during the first half of the season, and after Week 12, fans might be inclined to agree.

In a must-win game at Arrowhead Stadium, the Colts fell to the Kansas City Chiefs. While the defense performed well, Daniel Jones and the offense could do absolutely nothing, particularly in the second half. And notably, head coach Shane Steichen made the mind-boggling decision not to use the absolute best player on his roster: Jonathan Taylor.
