Raiders (8-7) @ Colts (9-6), Sunday, January 2nd, 2022, 1:00 PM ET

[NFLfan]

Happy New Year, Colts Fans! I hope your year has started out well.

 

The Colts will clinch a playoff berth with a win against the Raiders today. 

 

The Colts host the Las Vegas Raiders in this early afternoon game in which both teams are vying for playoff berths. After an 0-3 start, the Colts have played well lately and are on the verge of making the postseason. They win this game, and they are in. 

 

The Colts had many players miss the Cardinals game  after being placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 List last week.  Quenton Nelson, Mark Glowinski, Zach Pascal, Khari Willis, Rock Ya-Sin, Darius Leonard and Kemoko Turay are expected to play. Carson Wentz was placed on the COVID list earlier this week but he is expected start tomorrow after being activated from the "List" today. If Wentz does not play, Sam Ehlinger will start at quarterback for this important game. 

 

Injury report

 

How to Watch and Listen to Colts Games

 

Tidbit that you all know: Every game that the Colts have won this season, Taylor has run for over 100 yards. All the games they have lost, he has rush for 80 or fewer yards. 

 

 

Good luck and enjoy the game!

Colts win 31-17. We have a team that can go far in the playoffs. Fun season.

[Gramz]

Anxiously awaiting kickoff.

Happy first Sunday of the year, fellow Colts fans!  I hope our men in blue and white get off to a good start.  I was so amped up last Saturday night, by the end of the game I had chest pains. LOL - really.  Didn't tell my Mrs.

I just hope and pray we can win without Luke Rhodes today ☹️

[NFLfan]

@Dunk Do you remember when I told you that I was trying to tell Colts fans this (title of song). I think it was after one of the Titans games:

 

 

For those who have never heard it, this song says "Don't Dream It's Over". Has nothing to do with sports but still. Don't dream your playoff chances are ever over.

 

In that video, before the song, the lead singer says it is the "beginning of a new era". Believe.

Don't mock ... There's been several games this year where the holder/long snapper exchange has cost valuable points....

Yeah - we need to come out with our hair on fire which I think we will. Could and most likely will be our last home game of the season. Need to put on a show and punch out ticket to the post season. 

[Shive]

 

LET'S GOOOOO!!!!

[2006Coltsbestever]

I smell a blowout coming here! I predicted 31-17 Colts but it could be worse.

[holeymoley99]

[Happy2BeHere]

Let’s get a solid win here, 14+ points margin of victory. Let’s roll COLTS!

[Lancer1]

 

Let's punch our ticket to the postseason today, and root for the Dolphins to extend their winning streak to 8 games!

[Nelson56]

LFG!!!

I haven't broken it down myself, but I remember reading somewhere that there was a decent chance of Indy hosting one if not two home games in the PO

I would think that KC losing and Tennessee losing creates a pathway for us. Have a feeling the dolphins win today against the titans….

I do recall that. You were encouraging me about our playoff chances and you were right. we are still hanging in there.

Lets seal the deal today!

Children of the NFL!

 

Of Indy!

 

My brethren...

 

I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of humans fail, when we forsake our fellow fans, and break all bonds of NFL belief.....but it is not this day.

 

An hour of losses and shattered helmets, when the era of Colt growth comes crashing down, but it is not this day! Today....we fight!

 

By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Fans of the Colts!

 

[JlynRN]

Good afternoon and Happy New Year Colts fans !!  Going to be a good game today and I expect us to get the win.  Let's do this.

 

GOOOOOOOOOO Colts !!

[Lucky Colts Fan]

Thank you @NFLfan!

 

LET'S GO COLTS!!!

 

Let's keep these good vibes rollin boys!

 

[runthepost]

Let’s go blue!

[Smoke317]

Time to lock up that playoff spot today.   Let’s Go Colts.

An all AFC game on fox?

 

[Jackie Daytona]

Good lord Mark Davis looks like Opie Taylor and Nosferatu had a love child.

We're going to make Renfro look like he's an all world player.... He's ok ... But he's really the only guy they have so he gets a disproportionate number of targets....

[Colts1324]

They look pretty solid out the gate tbh

[John Waylon]

Talk about a heel move, beating the Raiders in the wake of Madden’s death this week would be MJF level heat. 
 

 

[Indyfan4life]

Got away with a hold there.

[Jackie Daytona]

He's literally the only guy they have other than RB....lol

Don't think anyone can hit that level of heat.

None of these players know him as anything but a name on a video game, plenty love Madden, but I don't think the emotional connection is there like it's been made out to be for any players....
