The Indianapolis Colts have sky-high potential, making them a sleeper to win the Super Bowl.
have one of the most dynamic and young rosters the franchise has seen in a long time. 2024 appears to be a campaign where second-year head coach Shane Steichen could blossom and help Indianapolis reach the playoffs for the first time since 2020. After finishing an injury-riddled 2023 campaign at 9-8, hopes are high on what, Albert Breer discusses possible dark horse candidates to win Super Bowl LIX.
So with all that established, I think I’d go with the Colts. They went 9–8 last year, in Year 1 under Shane Steichen, and with Gardner Minshew II at quarterback. The staff returns largely intact, and Anthony Richardson is back from injury. And we’ve seen quarterbacks in this sort of spot explode in their second year.Referencing the 2023 campaign, Gardner Minshew II wasn't as mobile, strong-armed, or willing to take chances as Richardson.
Breer also mentions the staff returning. While many see the surface positions like head coach and offensive/defensive coordinator, the positional coaches are huge for a team's development. Last season offensive line coach Tony Sparano Jr. had the same group from the awful 2022 campaign, yet they returned to Pro-Bowl-level form. It showed that players like, and others merely needed proper coaching.
Indianapolis fits the 'dark horse' monicker perfectly. While they aren't a top-tier team at this junction, their potential is. If the Colts can rise to that ceiling in year two of the Steichen-Richardson connection then this young squad might turn the league upside down and push for the AFC South title while achieving the unthinkable: winning Super Bowl LIX.
