Overview
- Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. ET Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium and the game will air on CBS with Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta and Aditi Kinkhabwala on the broadcast team.
- Miami turned to Kyle McCord for his first career start after placing Malik Willis and defensive tackle Zach Sieler on injured reserve and ruling center Aaron Brewer out with a concussion.
- Indianapolis has moved into teardown mode by firing general manager Chris Ballard and trading key veterans including Quenton Nelson, DeForest Buckner, Keenan Allen and Josh Downs.
- The Colts enter the game 2-7 and are slight favorites in betting markets with spreads around 3.5 to 4.5 points while their offense has scored 23 or fewer points in five straight games, per ESPN research.
- Beyond the scoreboard, the matchup matters for draft positioning because the Colts' 2027 first-round pick already belongs to the New York Jets, giving that franchise a direct stake in Indianapolis' results.
