How Colts’ failures on offense highlight need for change in approach next season

The Colts have an offense built to win in 1992 that can’t win in 2022, that’s hindered by an overpaid and underperforming offensive line, that can’t consistently score, finish in the red zone or put opponents away. “I think, part of it, is you have to have enough time to do some of the things you wanna do — push the ball down the field — and we just haven’t been consistent enough throughout the year,” quarterback Matt Ryan said. … It becomes too difficult when, every drive, you’re not getting those chunk plays.” Six times this season, the Colts have finished a game scoring a single touchdown or less — they are 1-5 in those contests, the lone victory coming in Denver in Week 5 against the only offense in football that’s statistically worse. Three plays tell the story: After reaching the Eagles’ 5-yard line on a 31-yard pass to Parris Campbell with 6:12 left, leading 13-10, the Colts had a chance to end it. There were times we were moving guys out in one section of the offensive line, and the other section of the line wasn’t quite there.” Then it got worse.
