# 2024 Indianapolis Colts season

The 2024 season was the Indianapolis Colts' 72nd in the National Football League (NFL) and their 41st in Indianapolis. It was their eighth under the leadership of general manager Chris Ballard and the second under head coach Shane Steichen. They failed to improve on their 9–8 record from last year and end their nine-year AFC South title drought after a Week 15 blowout loss to the Denver Broncos. They were eliminated from playoff contention following a Week 17 upset loss to the New York Giants, who before the game had the worst record in the league. The Colts finished their season with an 8–9 record.
