The Indianapolis Colts took the NFL world by storm in the early stages of last season when they turned a Daniel Jones-led offense into one of the league's most efficient operations of the 21st century.Through seven games of the 2025 season, the Colts were on track to become the most efficient offense since 2000 with an absurd 3.46 points scored per drive.Furthermore, the 2025 Colts were deemed the fourth-best NFL offense through eight games based on DVOA (37.7%), a statistic that's been tracked since 1978 and aims to determine overall team success.There was merit in the pushback from analysts who claimed the Colts hadn't played anybody worth of note during this stretch, with most of their success coming against bottom-tier defenses, but the aforementioned efficiency was still staggering.Shane Steichen has been considered one of the league's top offensive minds of the 2020s, so him turning in such success after finding his footing as a first-time head coach with a steady hand leading the charge was not shocking, but the heights they reached early in 2025 were.The Athletic's Jordan Rodrigue recently dropped an article that included assistant coach breakout candidates for all 32 NFL teams based on a combination of team and league sources and film study, and the Indianapolis Colts received two separate shouts.
