The Indianapolis Colts have been one of the most pleasant surprises this season.
They’re tied for the best record in the NFL, and their offense has been spectacular.
Another wild stat from the #Colts‘ offense:
Indy has scored a TD in all 10 of its trips to the red zone over the last two weeks. 10/10! Insane. 🤯 https://t.co/6x6GqexO4I pic.twitter.com/YnfkWYyr3g

That’s a testament to several things.
First, it confirms how good head coach Shane Steichen is as a playcaller.
He had shown glimpses of that when he kept the Colts in playoff contention despite having Gardner Minshew, Joe Flacco and Anthony Richardson as his quarterbacks.
Second, it also goes to show how bad Richardson had been.
The Colts took off after he lost the starting job to Daniel Jones, and with the way things have gone with his injuries, and reports of his demeanor, Richardson’s days with Indianapolis may be coming to an end.
It also speaks volumes about how poorly the New York Giants dealt with Jones.
The physical tools were there, but they could never bring out the best in his game.
Sometimes, all it takes is being in the right system to blossom, and Jones is playing his way into a lucrative multiyear contract with the Colts or another team as he heads toward becoming a free agent.
The Colts have been dominant, and it might be safe to say that it’s not a fluke.
While there’s still plenty of football yet to be played, the early returns are highly encouraging.
