The Indianapolis Colts' 2025 season basically ended before Week 17's game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Indy still has two games left, but no playoff hopes after the Houston Texans beat the Los Angeles Chargers. Once again, the Colts will be sitting at home when the playoffs begin.
Much of the blame for that should lie with general manager Chris Ballard. Injuries certainly played a part in the team starting 7-1 and then being out of the postseason before the season ended, but other teams have overcome the same issues.
The San Francisco 49ers, for instance, have arguably lost more talent through players getting hurt (and their starting quarterback for eight games) than Indianapolis.
