The Indianapolis Colts have continued to struggle since acquiring cornerback Sauce Gardner in November 2025, recording a disappointing 1-9 overall record. Despite initial optimism after a 7-2 start, the team's performance deteriorated significantly, especially following quarterback Daniel Jones' Achilles injury. Gardner has yet to secure a win in the U.S. during his tenure as a Colt, with losses extending into the 2026 season. As the Colts face ongoing challenges, they seek to reverse their fortunes after losses to the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs.
