Colts Face Broncos in Crucial Week 15 Matchup

The Indianapolis Colts (6-7) are set to face the Denver Broncos (8-5) in a crucial Week 15 matchup that could significantly impact playoff standings. Both teams are coming off bye weeks, with the Colts needing a victory to narrow the gap for the final AFC wildcard spot, as a loss would drop their playoff chances to just 9%. The Colts will rely on second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson, while the Broncos, led by rookie quarterback Bo Nix, aim to solidify their playoff position. The Colts have designated key players Ryan Kelly and Jaylon Carlies to return, but Braden Smith is unlikely to play due to personal matters. Denver is favored in the matchup, holding a solid home record and a top defensive unit allowing just 18.0 points per game. The game is expected to be tightly contested, with both teams performing well against the spread this season.
