What happened: Nearly half of Indianapolis Colts fans — 47% — say the franchise is headed in the right direction in Week 7 SB Nation Reacts polling conducted after owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon dismissed general manager Chris Ballard. Irsay-Gordon made the change less than 24 hours after Indianapolis blew a 13-0 halftime lead in a 26-20 home loss to the previously winless Tennessee Titans on Oct. 18.

Why it matters: While Ballard's dismissal reshaped Indianapolis' front-office trajectory, head coach Shane Steichen remains under pressure with the 2-4 Colts sitting 12th in the AFC on a two-game losing streak. National polling in the same survey placed Steichen tied with Tampa Bay's Todd Bowles for second among coaches most likely to be fired first at 17%, trailing only Washington's Dan Quinn at 34%.

What to watch: Steichen looks to halt the two-game slide against Minnesota while Indianapolis weighs roster decisions ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline.
