Broncos and Colts Face Off in Pivotal AFC Playoff Battle

Denver aims to solidify playoff position while Indianapolis fights to keep postseason hopes alive in Week 15 matchup.

The Denver Broncos (8-5) host the Indianapolis Colts (6-7) in a critical game with significant playoff implications for both teams.
A win boosts Denver's playoff chances to 89%, while a loss drops them to 42%; Indianapolis' chances rise to 65% with a victory but plummet to 9% with a defeat.
Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has shown steady improvement, leading Denver to a three-game winning streak, while Colts rookie Anthony Richardson struggles with consistency but remains a dual-threat on the ground and in the air.
Denver's defense, ranked second in points allowed and first in sacks, will challenge the Colts' offensive line, which has struggled to protect Richardson and maintain efficiency.
The Colts must overcome injuries to key players, including wide receiver Ashton Dulin and tackle Braden Smith, while Denver looks to exploit its home-field advantage and maintain playoff momentum.
