The 2024 season was another lost year for the Indianapolis Colts. In the last seven years, the team has won eight or more games five times. However, they only have two postseason appearances in that time. Their last was during the 2020 season when Phillip Rivers was QB.
To start the 2024 season, Anthony Richardson was the starter for Indianapolis. After early struggles, Richardson was benched for backup QB Joe Flacco. When Flacco lost two straight, head coach Shane Steichen went back to Richardson as the starter. That left the rest of the locker room confused and players struggled to understand their coach’s decision. Rookie WR Adonai Mitchell had sizeable expectations for himself in 2024 but he had a disappointing year. Speaking with the media, Mitchell said he went through “adversity” this past season. He’s hoping for consistency in 2025.
