## Resource

The Indianapolis Colts have a relatively easy schedule for the 2026-2027 season, tied with the Atlanta Falcons for the fourth-easiest. Theyll face the AFC South, NFC East, and AFC North divisions, with home games against Houston, Tennessee, Jacksonville, Dallas, Cincinnati, Miami, and Baltimore. Away games include Houston, Tennessee, Jacksonville, Minnesota, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Washington, and Philadelphia. Last season, the Colts started strong with Daniel Jones at quarterback, but injuries derailed their progress. Jones tore his Achilles in December, leading to a seven-game skid and an 8-9 finish. The Colts traded for cornerback Sauce Gardner and signed Jones to a two-year, $88 million extension. With Ballard needing playoff appearances, this soft schedule could be crucial for the Colts to prove they can finish strong and claim the AFC South crown.
