Throughout the 2016 offseason, the AFC South was dramatically, and significantly, altered. The volume of change in Indianapolis, though, was nowhere near what it was for the rest of the division. Head coach Chuck Pagano and general manager Ryan Grigson, both thought to be in hot water at year’s end, returned with contract extensions in tow.
For all the change that didn’t take place, though, the Colts’ fortunes (and perhaps those in the AFC South as well) will be significantly altered by one change that did take place. Quarterback Andrew Luck has returned under center, much to the chagrin of many in the three other AFC South cities.
