2020 Indianapolis Colts season

The 2020 season was the Indianapolis Colts' 68th in the National Football League (NFL), their 37th in Indianapolis, and their 13th playing their home games at Lucas Oil Stadium. It was also their third season under head coach Frank Reich and fourth under the leadership of general manager Chris Ballard. Long-time San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers signed a one-year contract worth $25 million on March 17, 2020, to take over as the team's starting quarterback, reuniting him with Frank Reich, who served as quarterbacks coach for the Chargers during the 2013 season.
