Shane Steichen Hot Seat Meter: Colts need to follow up Week 3 stunner in Week 4

Writer Lee Vowell argues that Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen slightly cooled his hot seat following a Week 3 win over the Houston Texans, but must follow it up against the Washington Commanders. The Colts snapped a nine-game losing streak dating back to the previous season with a 19-17 victory, moving Indianapolis to a 1-2 record.

Vowell criticizes Steichen's late-game clock management and play-calling, noting that a 53-yard game-winning field goal by Spencer Shrader could have been made easier. The writer assesses Steichen's current hot seat level at an eight out of ten ahead of the London matchup against Washington.
