Colts' Offense Has One Huge Strength to Bank On

Heading into the 2025 NFL season, the Indianapolis Colts have had a fair bit of concerns surrounding what this offense could have in store for the year ahead.

Without a clearly defined starting quarterback and eyebrows to be raised with either outcome that's rolled out for Week One, paired with the turbulence seen from last season on the offensive end of the field, the Colts have had some skeptics surrounding how they'll be able to score the ball for their 2025 campaign.

However, outside of the quarterback questions to be had, there's one critical factor of this offense the Colts and head coach Shane Steichen will be able to lean on that's proven as successful: the run game led by the star that is Jonathan Taylor, an aspect could make or break what Indianapolis has in store offensively in 2025.

Bleacher Report's Alex Ballentine recently sorted through each NFL team's biggest roster strength headed into the 2025 season, where for the Colts, it was their run game that sat atop the list of the best part of their game plan on either side of the ball.

"There are a lot of questions about who is going to start at quarterback and what the passing game will look like. Regardless, head coach Shane Steichen should be able to rely on a strong ground game. Last year's offensive line ranked fourth in run block win rate. Jonathan Taylor took advantage with the second-best season of his career. He piled up 1,431 yards on the ground with 11 touchdowns. Both Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson have good mobility. A Steichen-designed offense with either of them behind that offensive line is going to be able to run the ball."
