The Colts have built a machine — and Shane Steichen is the engineer

The Indianapolis Colts didn’t just win a football game in Berlin. They orchestrated one.

A roster that has consistently found ways to win ballgames this fall, a 31–25 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons was another example of what has quietly become one of the NFL’s most efficient, deliberate, and malleable operations.

At 8–2, there’s no mistaking what’s happening in Indy -- Shane Steichen has built a system that bends to his players, not the other way around.

The obvious headline was Jonathan Taylor, who stamped himself into the MVP conversation with a 32-carry, 244-yard, three-touchdown masterpiece that looked like something out of 2012 Adrian Peterson.
