INSIGHT

Colts Offense Looks Elite Early

  • The Colts' offense is currently historic by early EPA metrics but likely unsustainable over a full season.
  • Daniel Jones' improved accuracy on short throws raises the Colts' floor and lets Shane Steichen's scheme thrive.
INSIGHT

Short Throws Unlock The Offense

  • Daniel Jones is not consistently accurate but is accurate enough on short throws to keep drives alive.
  • That 15% completion uplift on <10 air yards compared to Anthony Richardson materially improves offensive stability.
INSIGHT

Realistic Expectation: Middle Ground

  • The most likely Colts outcome is between breakout and regression: a playoff-competitive team rather than a historic offense.
  • Expect them to compete for December playoff positioning rather than sustain top-3 offensive marks.
