Justin Houston is just one piece that the Colts have added this offseason. But it just so happens that he might be the biggest piece that they have added in the Chris Ballard era in free agency. Houston signifies the rising expectations that this Colts team will have to manage.
Making the playoffs last year was not something many people expected from this team. They were expected to take a small step forward, but not a giant leap. They took that giant leap, and then went even further when they won a playoff game.
Now it’s expected for them to take an even bigger leap.
