The stakes are high for the Indianapolis Colts when it comes to how this 2025 campaign ends. First, the team can win 10-plus games, obtain a playoff spot, and contend (or win) the AFC South from the Houston Texans. If this happens, then expect general manager Chris Ballard and head coach Shane Steichen to remain intact for at least another season. It’s imperative that the Colts hit these two critical goals.
