INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts were one of the hardest teams to figure out in 2021.
They started the season 1-4 before winning eight of their next 10 games to become the team nobody wanted to face in the playoffs, largely because of running back Jonathan Taylor and a defense that finished second in the NFL in turnovers.
However, nobody faced the Colts in the playoffs because they missed the postseason entirely.
A late-season collapse, losing their final two games when all they had to do was win one to clinch a playoff spot, made the future of the organization, especially for quarterback Carson Wentz, murky.
