INDIANAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 New Indianapolis Colts co-owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon and her two sisters appear poised to bring back general manager Chris Ballard and coach Shane Steichen for next season despite a second-half collapse that extended the franchise’s playoff drought to five years.<\/p>\n
While no announcement was made Sunday after Indy lost 38-30 at Houston to finish the season on a seven-game skid, the team issued a media schedule that included Steichen and Irsay-Gordon speaking to reporters Monday, with Ballard expected to hold his season-ending news conference later this week.<\/p>\n
