Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson will look to continue building on the previous level However, after an error-filled afternoon last Sunday against Detroit, more help around him will be a must.
This game for Indianapolis falls into the must-win category if they hope to stay in the AFC playoff mix. At 5-7, they are currently two games behind the seventh-seeded Denver Broncos, who are 7-5.
A remaining schedule that includes four games against teams with three or fewer wins helps keep the Colts' playoff hopes alive, but the margin of error is razor thin. Wins a necessity.
