Broncos/Steelers is prime CBS late game. Unlikely to be moved. Several other options depending on results from this Sunday. If Panthers win it's got to be Panthers/Giants and they will cross their fingers hoping Carolina comes in at 13-0. They did that with Patriots/Texans and got burned. If they had a do-over I'm sure they would prefer Steelers/Bengals next week.
Other options:
bears/vikings (if bears win this week)
packers/raiders (if raiders win this week)
bills/redskins (if both win this week)

Panthers vs Giants, if Pathers are still undefeated.

Everyone is focusing on the wrong aspect of challenging calls. Whether or not you have a good chance to win the challenge is only part of the equation. The key part is "will winning the challenge have a direct impact on the game or on momentum within the game?"
For instance, the Bucs made a good challenge with Bradshaw at the goal line. They lost what looked like a 50/50 challenge, but had they won, it would have given them the ball and kept it a one score game. Well worth the risk.
The TY no catch challenge was a poor challenge as it would not even have given the Colts a first down. Do you really want to risk losing a challenge and a timeout for a 7 yard pass that does not result in a first down or touchdown? Very poor risk/reward, IMO.
When on defense, challenge plays that if won:
1. result in a turnover
2. result in turning the ball over on downs
3. take away a 3rd down conversion or a 1st/2nd down and long conversion.When on offense, challenge plays that if won:
1. result in points
2. result in a critical 1st down
Not saying these are the only situations, as timing in the game has an impact too, but it's a good starting point. -
Will this still be true after this weekend?

TY returning punts is one of the few good moves Pagano has made. Get your play makers on the field as much as possible. Antonio Brown, Jarvis Landry, Travis Benjamin, Pacman Jones, Patrick Peterson, Julian Edelman, Jacobly Jones, and on and on.

After having been laughed at and ridiculed by the entire football world (and some non-football outlets), we will see if the Colts can take the "us against the world" mentality into this game and let out some anger and frustration on the Saints.
Big day for TY and the pass rush. Matt Hass finishes up the game with Luck resting the last 10 minutes. Colts romp 45-17.

Just heard Pat got an earful for his explanation of the punt, despite the team touting it on the front page of the website
Pagano thinking he was covering Griff's back and saying "it's my fault" without an explanation is basically saying "Griff messed up but since I'm in charge I'll take the hit." That still, unintentionally, I'm sure, leaves Griff looking like a dummy and open to ridicule from everyone. Another bad decision by the coach.
Patty Mac explaining it let's everyone know the coaches aren't just giving the standard "I'm the head coach so it falls on me" line. If Pagano would have simply said what Pat said in his press conference he would have saved Griff and the team a lot of embarrassment.
Bravo to Pat for having the sense to say what the coach would not say, and shedding some light on what at the time seemed like the dumbest plays in football history.

Hope the Colts let Fleener walk

No offer to Fleener or Allen. The TE's are barely used anyway. Use that money for OL and D.
Keep Doyle and get another good blocking TE.
