The Super Bowl LX teams are set, as the Seattle Seahawks (14-3) will take on the New England Patriots (14-3) on Sunday, February 8th, at 6:30 PM at Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.<\/p>\n
As far as former Colts are concerned, only ex-linebacker Chad Muma will be competing on the field in the game\u2019s biggest stage in two weeks. As part of this year\u2019s final 53-man roster cuts, the Colts claimed Muma, who was originally a 2022 3rd round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars, off the league waiver wire.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old linebacker appeared in 5 games for Indianapolis this year, recording 5 tackles (3 solo).<\/p>\n
He was waived in early November before being re-signed to the Colts practice squad. However, Muma was signed to the Patriots active roster from the Colts taxi-man squad in mid-December.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s since appeared in 3 games for the Patriots to close out the 2025 campaign, with 4 tackles.<\/p>\n
Fortunately for Muma, he recently left an organization that just saw a historic late season collapse, and ultimately missed the playoffs, and now will be playing in the Super Bowl next month for this year\u2019s AFC Champions.<\/p>\n
However, as I expect is the case with many of you, I\u2019ll be cheering on the NFC Champion Seahawks.<\/p>\n
Even though the longtime rivalry with the Patriots isn\u2019t what it once was, I\u2019d rather not see that organization and either longtime team owner Bob Kraft or offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels win another one\u2014anymore than I have to reasonably stomach at least. Regarding McDaniels, I guess a former Colts head coach will be coaching? <\/p>\n
Joining him among former Colts coaches now in New England is Justin Hamilton, who is the Patriots current cornerbacks coaching, having served as Indianapolis\u2019 assistant defensive backs coach fairly recently in 2024.<\/p>\n
It is worth noting that former Colts defensive assistant (2005) and associate head coach and defensive backs coach Leslie Frazier (2006) is now the Seahawks assistant head coach. Former Colts cornerback Neiko Thorpe (2016) is also a defensive assistant and defensive backs coach.<\/p>\n
It is pretty remarkable how close the Colts came to beating Seattle on the road this year in Week 15, as they lost on a game-winning 56-yard field goal, 18-16, in the closing seconds\u2014after almost completing a shocking upset.<\/p>\n
That was with 44-year-old Philip Rivers having surprisingly unretired and having not played the game of pro football in nearly 5 years\u2014and only practiced in the week leading into the game with his new Colts teammates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Super Bowl LX teams are set, as the Seattle Seahawks (14-3) will take on the New England…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":705683,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2059],"tags":[2005,7,2004,392,3562,2381,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-705682","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indianapolis-colts","8":"tag-colts","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-indianapolis","11":"tag-indianapolis-colts","12":"tag-indianapolis-colts-news","13":"tag-indianapoliscolts","14":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=705682"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705682\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/705683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=705682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=705682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=705682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
