It might sound wild after they ended their season on a seven-game skid, but, for a while there, the Colts looked like serious Super Bowl contenders. And it's even wilder to think that was in part thanks to ex-Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, who signed a one-year deal with the Colts over the 2025 offseason following some serious drama in New York and a quick stint in Minneapolis.
Jones began his tenure in Indy as the presumed backup, though things changed during training camp. Eventually, much to the surprise of the general public, coach Shane Steichen opted to go with Jones as the team's Week 1 starter, demoting 2023 first-round pick Anthony Richardson.
