INDIANAPOLIS -- So many times during Shane Steichen's first season as head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, he demonstrated an ability to find answers.
First, he discovered a way to get a team coming off a 4-win season full of controversies to buy fully into his philosophies. Then, he navigated the Colts through a 3-game losing streak and 3-5 start to a 9-8 finish that nearly put them in the postseason.
But, midway through Year 2, answers have not come as easily.
His offense has been stuck in a rut of late. The Colts have lost back-to-back games amid an increasingly difficult stretch of the schedule.
