American Football Conference · AFC South
The Indianapolis Colts were founded in 1953 in Baltimore, Maryland, relocating to their current home where they play at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The franchise is owned by Carlie Irsay-Gordon, with Chris Ballard serving as general manager and Shane Steichen as head coach. The Colts reached the Super Bowl following a dominant 14–2 season in 2009, and have made the playoffs four times since then: 2010, 2018, and 2020. The years between have been uneven—stretches of 8–8 mediocrity, a 4–12 low in 2017, and another 4–12–1 campaign in 2022. Recent seasons have hovered around .500, with back-to-back 8–9 finishes in 2024 and 2025. The current roster features running back Jonathan Taylor, guard Quenton Nelson, defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, and cornerback Sauce Gardner, alongside quarterbacks Daniel Jones, Anthony Richardson, and Easton Stick.
