The Kansas City Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts are set to face off in an epic 'Sunday Night Football' matchup at Arrowhead Stadium this evening in a game that could have massive implications for the AFC playoff picture in January.
While the Chiefs had no problem dispatching the Denver Broncos in Week 1, the Colts will present Kansas City with a unique challenge in primetime, and won't be an easy opponent for the home team to take down.
This week, Chiefs Wire sat down with Paul Bretl of Colts Wire to get the inside scoop on Indianapolis before tonight's game.
Take a look at Bretl's answers to our top questions below:
How has Colts ownership changed Indianapolis' trajectory since last season?
"Chris Ballard is still the GM, while Shane Steichen is still the head coach, so there haven't been any major shifts that have taken
place under Carlie Irsay-Gordon up to this point. If the Colts miss the postseason again, then sweeping changes could be incoming next offseason."
Can the Colts compete for a championship with Daniel Jones at QB?
"The Colts are just trying to make the playoffs for the first time since 2020. Through 10 games last season, the Colts had one of the best offenses in football under Steichen and Jones but whether or not that level of play can be regained and sustained remains to be seen."
Who was Indianapolis' player of the game in Week 1?
"As is often the case, it was Jonathan Taylor. He was efficient and effective in the ground game, which is where consistent success for this offense is going to start. The Colts' offensive line unit also performed well."
Final score prediction: Who wins on 'SNF'?
"The Colts' defense was a mess Week 1 and while hopefully improvements come, expecting a complete 180 from that unit may be more wishful thinking. There is talent on this Colts roster, but a lot of question marks as well. On the road against Patrick Mahomes will be a lot to overcome. Chiefs 27 - Colts 17"
