The Story in 60 Seconds

The Indianapolis Colts have begun the 2026 NFL season with consecutive losses under head coach Shane Steichen. Despite the 0-2 start, the team is drawing comparisons to their 2014 campaign led by Andrew Luck, where Indianapolis recovered from an identical start to capture the division title.

In 2014, the Colts rebounded by winning 11 of their remaining 14 regular-season games following a Week 3 divisional victory. Quarterback Daniel Jones and the Colts aim to emulate that turnaround as they prepare to face the Houston Texans in Week 3.
