2025 tendencies · 2026 staff

IND 30, KC 33 — final. The Kansas City overtime game is now included. Pierce is expected to miss weeks, increasing the importance of monitoring Indianapolis receiving roles. Week 2 snap counts are available; route participation and targets per route remain unverified.

Steichen remains head coach and play-caller; Cooter remains offensive coordinator. The 2025 rates include the full season and its quarterback changes, rather than only the offense’s strong first ten games.

The approach behind the offense

Reported concepts and coaching priorities
OFFENSIVE APPROACH

Adjust at the line

September team reporting describes Steichen and Jones changing routes, protections and run calls against defensive looks. Their shared preparation creates options before the snap.

Source & context ↗
OFFENSIVE APPROACH

A run game with passing answers

The Colts expect Jones’s return to restore rollout and play-action answers that influence how defenses play Taylor. That is a reported approach, not a forecast of play-action frequency.

Source & context ↗
OFFENSIVE APPROACH

Complementary targets

The September offense review frames Pierce, Downs and new arrival Allen as different receiving options, with Warren adding a substantial tight-end role. Last year’s catch totals do not settle this year’s target distribution.

Source & context ↗

Fantasy connection: The Kansas City overtime game is now included. Pierce is expected to miss weeks, increasing the importance of monitoring Indianapolis receiving roles.

Sample: 999 classified 2025 regular-season plays, all game states. Dropbacks (60.0%) include sacks and scrambles; designed runs exclude scrambles. Kneels, spikes, two-point tries, aborted snaps and nullified plays are excluded. NFL comparisons use the same filters. These are historical rates, not a 2026 play forecast. Concepts are sourced descriptions, not measured frequency shares. Sources & definitions ↗

Reading the numbers: The 2025 column retains its historical regular-season sample. Week 2 actuals describe the completed 2026 game. No Week 3 forecast is supplied.

Target share: player targets / all recorded team targets. Carry share: player rush attempts / team rush attempts (including QB runs/kneels). Red-zone and goal-line share: player targets + rush attempts inside the opponent 20 / 5 divided by the corresponding team total. Null means unverified, not zero. Preliminary statistics may be corrected.

Week 2 snap counts are available for all 32 teams. Route participation and targets per route remain unverified. Unavailable is not zero.
