Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen borrowed wisdom from NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo to lift his team's morale following a middling season. The message came as the Colts missed the playoffs for the fourth straight season – their longest drought in 30 years.
Steichen, who just completed his second season as the Colts' coach, addressed his team on Monday. Under his leadership, the Colts have gone 17-17, staying competitive but missing crucial playoff opportunities.
During his postseason address at the Colts facility, Steichen shared the insights while reflecting on the team's 8-9 finish. His words carried extra weight as team owner Jim Irsay had just confirmed both Steichen and general manager Chris Ballard would return for the 2025 season.
