Hello and welcome to our live coverage of today’s Sunday Night Football matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Minnesota enters play 5-2, coming off a close loss to the Los Angeles Rams on the road. Trailing by eight points and needing a touchdown in the final minutes, Sam Darnold was sacked in the end zone with the help of a pulled face mask but the officials missed the call and the play resulted in a Rams’ game-sealing safety.
Coming into Sunday at 4-4, Indianapolis has benched second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson for the time being and will roll with veteran Joe Flacco. The Colts are coming off a tight divisional loss to the Houston Texans in which their fourth-quarter comeback attempt fell short in the final seconds.
