Coming off a crucial win over the New York Jets, the now 5-6 Indianapolis Colts will take on the red-hot 9-1 Detroit Lions.

This game against Detroit will be played at home at Lucas Oil Stadium and kickoff will be at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, with the Lions opening as heavy favorites in this game.
The matchup will be aired on FOX with Kenny Albert on the play-by-play, Jonathan Vilma providing the analysis, and Megan Olivi will be on the sidelines.

The return and play of Anthony Richardson has provided the Colts with a much-needed spark. However, awaiting the Colts this week will be a Lions team that has been dominant this season.
The offense, in particular, has been playing some incredibly impressive football with play-caller Ben Johnson at the helm, as Detroit leads the NFL in scoring behind a top offensive line unit, two very good running backs, Jared Goff, who is playing at a high level, and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Not to be forgotten about, the Lions also have a top-five scoring defense as well. In all phases, the Indianapolis Colts are going to be put to the test in Sunday’s game.
