"The Indianapolis Colts are looking to right the ship after their first loss of the season, but they'll face a daunting task in the form of the reeling Las Vegas Raiders. With a struggling offense and a porous defense, the Raiders (1-3) are ripe for the picking, but Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has other plans.
According to Colts coach Shane Steichen, Jones has been 'on fire' this season, throwing for 1,078 yards in four games, including 71.9 completion percentage - his best mark through the first four games of the season. 'We're confident in Daniel's ability to lead this team,' Steichen said.
The Raiders, meanwhile, have been beset by injuries and inconsistency. Their starting left tackle is out, and quarterback Geno Smith has been boom-or-bust under pressure. 'The Raiders have a game wrecker in defensive lineman Maxx Crosby,' notes IndyStar's Joel A. Erickson, 'but they can't seem to get out of their own way.'
The Colts, on the other hand, are looking to maintain their momentum after a crushing 27-20 loss to the Rams. 'We're hungry to avenge what was honestly an embarrassing loss to the Rams last Sunday,' says Drake Wally of SI.com. 'The good news is that, not only do the Colts play at home, they face off with a very shaky Raiders team.'
So what's next for the Colts and Raiders? Will the Colts continue to rack up the wins, or will the Raiders finally get their act together? One thing's for sure - this game is going to be a barnburner.
The game will be broadcast on FOX Sports, with kickoff set for Sunday, October 5 at 10:00 a.m. PT. Don't miss it!",
