Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen is expected to be appointed as the Indianapolis Colts' next head coach. Steichen just helped guide the Eagles to a Super Bowl appearance, where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Eagles offense fired on all cylinders in the Super Bowl and put up 35 points. Quarterback Jalen Hurts passed for more than 300 yards, ran for 70 and scored a total of four TDs against the Chiefs.

The Eagles' impressive offensive display in Super Bowl 57 can be attributed to Steichen's work with the team throughout the 2022 NFL season. Philadelphia placed third in the league in terms of yards per game (389.5) and scoring average (28.1), proving how far the Eagles have come under their offensive coordinator this season.
