70th season in franchise history
The 2022 season was the Indianapolis Colts ' 70th in the National Football League (NFL), their 39th in Indianapolis , their sixth under the leadership of general manager Chris Ballard and their fifth and final season under head coach Frank Reich .
In the offseason, the Colts acquired former MVP quarterback Matt Ryan in exchange for a third round pick.[ 1]
After a 3–5–1 start, head coach Reich was fired from the team with former Colts offensive lineman Jeff Saturday being named the interim head coach.[ 2] [ 3] Minnesota Vikings in a game that was notable for being the biggest blown lead in NFL history , as the Colts squandered a 33–0 halftime lead to lose 39–36 in overtime. This loss, coupled with the Jacksonville Jaguars win over the New York Jets the following Thursday, eliminated the Colts from playoff contention.
Despite the Colts' poor season, one highlight was a week 3 20–17 upset win over the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs .
Draft trades
^ The Colts traded a conditional second-round selection and a 2021 third-round selection to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for QB Carson Wentz . The conditional selection became a first-round selection (16th overall) because Wentz played 75% of Indianapolis' offensive snaps.[ 4]
