Indianapolis Colts co-owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon chose to keep both general manager Chris Ballard and head coach Shane Steichen after the season ended. During her end-of-year news conference on Jan. 5, she said expectations are only higher because of that.
The Colts started the season hot, going 7-1 through the first half of the year, but injuries took their toll. The team won just one more game the rest of the way and finished 8-9.
