Indianapolis Colts schedule: Are Colts playing today? 

Are the Indianapolis Colts playing today? Here’s a look at the schedule and the games to come. 

Will the Indianapolis Colts be on the field today in Week 16 of the NFL schedule?

Following a loss in Week 15 to the Denver Broncos, the Colts will return home to Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 16 to face the Tennessee Titans.

Even after Sunday’s loss in Denver, the Colts’ playoff hopes were still alive; however, they would take another hit during Thursday Night Football with the LA Chargers win over those same Broncos.

As one would expect, an immense amount of help is required for the Colts right now, but step No. 1 is taking care of their own business on the field and finding that elusive consistency.

Will Hailee Steinfeld be at Josh Allen’s game for Bills-Patriots on Sunday?

Will we see Josh Allen’s fiancée on Sunday?

Taylor Swift isn’t the only famous significant other of an NFL player.

Actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld is dating Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen — and now they’re engaged!! — and even though we’ve seen only glimpses of the pair together, they’re a couple. And earlier in 2024, we saw Steinfeld cheer on Allen during a Monday night game.

Which brings us to this question: will she attend Sunday’s Bills game against the New England Patriots?

It’s a home game, for what it’s worth, so that may help. So maybe she’ll attend? We’ve seen no indication either way. But here’s Allen talking about his engagement recently.

We’ll see!

Cowboys schedule: Is Dallas playing today?

Are the Cowboys playing today? Here’s a look at the 2024 schedule; results and the games to come.

Week 16 of the NFL football schedule is underway, with every NFL team taking the field this weekend. Sunday and Monday are going to have a decidely NFC feel, however, as three games are already in the books and they were all AFC matchups.

The early and late windows are highlighted by NFC on NFC violence and both night games feature two NFC teams as well. Will the Dallas Cowboys be in one of those matchups today?

The Cowboys’ last-ditch effort to turn around is still on life support after a win over the Carolina Panthers, 30-14. The team’s negative magic number is now one, a loss or a victory by Washington officially ends Dallas’ campaign. And they will find out early on Sunday as the Philadelphia Eagles will look to clinch the division with a win over Washington. If they can’t, and the Commanders win, Dallas will be officially eliminated before they take the field for Sunday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Here’s a look at Dallas’ schedule so far this year.

How much is Ohio State coach Ryan Day’s buyout in 2024?

If Ohio State ever decided to fire Ryan Day, it wouldn’t be cheap.

It’s no secret that college football coaches are paid a ton of money with ridiculous contracts that sometimes make them the highest-paid public employees in their respective states.

When it comes to buyouts, the numbers are similarly huge with coaches often being owed millions of dollars if their school decides it’s time to part ways and fire the coach without cause.

So how much money would Ohio State have to pay Ryan Day if the Buckeyes wanted to fire their head coach?

Day — who has been the Buckeyes’ full-time head coach since the 2019 season — has the 17th-largest buyout among college football coaches as of 2024, according to USA TODAY Sports’ database of salaries and contracts. As of December 1, 2024, Day’s contract buyout is $37,276,042.

That’s definitely not the largest — Georgia’s Kirby Smart has the biggest buyout at $118,083,333 — but still a huge chunk of change if Ohio State ever decided to fire Day.
