The Indianapolis Colts couldn't take care of business down the stretch in Week 2. Daniel Jones and company nearly took down the Kansas City Chiefs on the road, but giving Patrick Mahomes the ball back in overtime has never worked for the other team.
The clock is ticking in Indianapolis, and it's easy to feel frustrated after a 0-2 start to the season. Head coach Shane Steichen and general manager Chris Ballard might not be here at the end of the year if this goes on.
However, as cliché as it may sound, things can always be worse, and we just have to take a look at the rest of the league to realize that. Let's take a look at where the Colts rank among winless teams if you're still not convinced.
Where do the Indianapolis Colts rank among 0-2 teams?
8. Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins haven't been competitive through two weeks, and the Malik Willis experiment isn't looking that good without Matt LaFleur and the Packers' weapons. They were always projected to be one of the worst teams in the league this season, so this is far from a surprise.
7. Tennessee Titans
The new-look Tennessee Titans have the same problems as the old, starting with their quarterback. They looked more competitive at home in Week 2, but losing by 13 to the New York Jets says everything there is to know about this team. Robert Saleh has his work cut out for him.
6. Atlanta Falcons
With Cooper Rush starting at quarterback, it's not much of a surprise to see that the Atlanta Falcons are 0-2. However, so-called offensive guru Kevin Stefanski hasn't done much to silence his critics. They're the only team that hasn't run a single play in the opposition's red zone thus far.
5. Washington Commanders
Even with Jayden Daniels on the field, the Washington Commanders were a bit of a hot mess. They don't have enough weapons on offense and can't get a stop on defense. Now, with Daniels' unfortunate elbow injury, they'll likely be looking at a top-10 pick in 2027.
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers shot themselves in the foot over and over in Week 1, but they saved the best for Week 2. Once again, Baker Mayfield failed to make a statement against his former team, and Deshaun Watson, of all people, outplayed him. Yes, we double-checked; it's 2026.
3. Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts looked much better in their second game of the season, though the schedule makers didn't do them any favors. They should be better, but patience is understandably running out.
The offense should be just fine. Jonathan Taylor is still a superstar, and Daniel Jones looked much sharper against the Chiefs. The defense, on the other hand, has been borderline disastrous, and Lou Anarumo has some explaining to do.
That said, as tough as it is to see the light at the end of the tunnel, this team might be closer to the one that started off the year 8-2 than to the one we've seen since. Whether the front office will be patient enough with this regime remains to be seen.
2. Los Angeles Chargers
The Los Angeles Chargers might be the most overrated team in the league right now. While the teams that beat them deserve plenty of credit, they've dropped consecutive games against bottom-feeders, and they haven't been competitive at all. Injuries or not, their offense is in serious trouble.
1. Houston Texans
The sky isn't falling for DeMeco Ryans' team, but it's time to have a conversation about the Houston Texans. Their elite defense notwithstanding, this team has fallen flat late in games twice in as many weeks, and once again, all signs point to a glaring issue: C.J. Stroud.
