Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard took responsibility for the team's shortcomings in 2024 while addressing the media Friday.
According to Zak Keefer of The Athletic, Ballard said: "I didn't create enough competition on the roster ... that directly falls on my shoulders. I was wrong. I was wrong."
The Colts finished 8-9 this season and missed the playoffs for a fourth straight year, but team owner Jim Irsay released a statement at the conclusion of the regular season, noting that he would retain Ballard and head coach Shane Steichen for the 2025 campaign.
