## Resource

The Indianapolis Colts’ season opener was a disaster as they were obliterated by the Baltimore Ravens, surrendering 41 points at home — the most in an opener since 1954. Daniel Jones looked like his early-career self, struggling to lead, while head coach Shane Steichen and GM Chris Ballard face mounting pressure after surviving last offseason’s scrutiny. Fans booed and left before the game ended, exposing a team that once showed playoff potential but now looks lost. With a brutal Week Two matchup against the Chiefs looming, the fate of Steichen and Ballard hangs in the balance — can they bounce back, or is this the beginning of the end in Indy?
