What we’re scoring

First explicit one-playoff-game scenario presupposes Colts qualification. Earlier do-nothing-in-playoffs rhetoric is too vague to replace this clear count. Later no-playoffs reversal retained.

The ruling

The Colts were eliminated from the 2025 playoffs before their Week 17 game, according to the team December 29 account.

    Quoted question identifies Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams; both refers to Indianapolis and Dallas. This December12 forecast precedes elimination. Do not score the inaccurate present-tense losing-teams premise.

    The Colts confirmed December 29 that they were eliminated from playoff contention after starting the season 8-2. Public identity evidence: the Colts acquired Sauce Gardner from the Jets November 4, 2025 (https://www.colts.com/news/colts-acquire-cb-sauce-gardner-from-new-york-jets-in-exchange-for-2026-2027-first-round-picks-and-wr-adonai-mitchell). Dallas acquired Quinnen Williams November 4, 2025 (https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/cowboys-in-the-process-of-finalizing-trade-for-dt-quinnen-williams). Thus the two teams in the quoted Sauce/Quinnen question are Indianapolis and Dallas.

    Quoted question identifies Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams; both refers to Indianapolis and Dallas. This December12 forecast precedes elimination. Do not score the inaccurate present-tense losing-teams premise. Jev advisory reviewed: Quoted question explicitly names Sauce and Quinnen; primary trade announcements establish the two team referents. Count Colts and Cowboys playoff-miss forecasts correct. Initial model fidelity flags were caused by missing identity facts; expanded evidence supplies them. The inaccurate current losing-teams premise is not itself a future outcome.

    Earlier affirmative playoff qualification prediction. Preserve later negative reversal; one qualification outcome.

    Earlier affirmative playoff qualification prediction. Preserve later negative reversal; one qualification outcome. Jev advisory reviewed: Jev has no void option. Missing playoff appearance and failed Jets-Mendoza acquisition premise make those conditional scenarios void, not second losses. Colts qualification itself is incorrect.

    First explicit one-playoff-game scenario presupposes Colts qualification. Earlier do-nothing-in-playoffs rhetoric is too vague to replace this clear count. Later no-playoffs reversal retained. Jev advisory reviewed: Jev fidelity objection rejected for qualification: explicit first-round loss and exactly one additional game unambiguously imply qualification. Actual absence makes qualification incorrect and assumed first-game result void, not another loss. Separate new Jones contract correct; vague disaster appraisal excluded.
