Denver Broncos vs. Indianapolis Colts

The Denver Broncos are headed to the Dome for a Sunday, September 30th, 4:15PM start.

One loss between them and two wins by the Indianapolis Colts the Denver Broncos surely remember. Those came in successive Wild Card games in 2003 and 2004 (the last time they played) in Indianapolis. But now they meet in Denver, where the Broncos have won their past 13.

It will be the usual high-powered Colts offense (No. 3 in the NFL) against the Broncos’ No. 4 defense that has surrendered a league-low 7.3 points per game, allowed two TDs, and held five consecutive opponents to single digits.

It’s the first time all season that Tony Dungy’s team has gone into a game and not been considered the favorite. But the Colts are considered, in some quarters anyway, to be a something akin to paper tigers when it comes to playing games in the great outdoors.
