The Indianapolis Colts are experiencing turmoil after their recent 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans, leading to the decision to bench starting quarterback Anthony Richardson in favor of Joe Flacco. This change comes as the Colts evaluate their performance, having dropped to 21st in the ESPN NFL Power Rankings.

Despite not having a losing record, the Colts are ranked lower than teams with worse records. Rookie pass rusher Laiatu Latu has been highlighted as the team's best offseason addition, showing promise despite limited sack numbers. The Colts face a challenging matchup against the Minnesota Vikings next.
