The last time we saw the Indianapolis Colts in a regular season game, they were blowing what was calculated as a 97 percent chance of making the playoffs, as they dropped their final game of the season to the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars. It's a loss that left a lot of people — including the team's owner, Jim Irsay — in disbelief, and it led to a major change at quarterback: Matt Ryan in, Carson Wentz out. Today, we're joined by The Athletic's Zak Keefer to look at how the team has tried to put that devastating collapse behind them, and why they believe things could be different in 2022.
