Pat McAfee Sounds off on Colts Playoff Drought
Former Indianapolis Colt Pat McAfee is tired of seeing his old team miss the playoffs year after year.
The Indianapolis Colts have experienced a lengthy postseason drought, having last appeared in the playoffs during the 2020 season and failing to win a playoff game since 2018. In the absence of home playoff games, the team has not secured a division title since 2014. Former Colt Pat McAfee grew frustrated with their recent performance and lack of recognition in the football world.
Appearing on his show, McAfee emphasized the importance of a home playoff game for season ticket holders who pay substantial amounts of money for their seats. McAfee's complaints stemmed from the 2025 season, during which the Colts were the best team in football before injuries derailed their progress. The team's 2024 season featured the "Indiana Nights" alternate uniforms and a 1 p.m. Eastern Time game, further highlighting their absence from prime-time football.
Cam Newton also criticized the Colts' lack of attention, comparing their situation to a star-studded team with a highly influential owner. McAfee attributed the team's decline to simply losing games, but expressed optimism that the players would overcome their recent struggles.
