It’s crunch time for the 4-5 Jacksonville Jaguars who are currently on the outside looking in on the AFC playoff race. This week, they will be taking on their longtime rivals in the Indianapolis Colts (5-4), who are equally desperate due to being on a two-game skid which has decreased their playoff chances.
The No. 2 spot in the AFC South will also be on the line for the winner of Sunday’s game, though the wild-card spot is what both teams should be likely eying. In the process, both starting quarterbacks Nick Foles and Jacoby Brissett (likely) will be returning to the field, which has made the meeting between the two rivals a tough one to call.
All of that said, both Jags and Colts fans will be viewing this one as a must-win and the fans in the yellow region of the TV coverage map below will be able to tune in locally via CBS.
Announcing the game will be Andrew Catalon (play-by-play), James Lofton (color analyst) and Michael Grady (sideline).
Sunday’s game will mark the first meeting between the Jags and Colts of the year. The Colts lead the all-time series between the two rivals with a 23-13 record, however, the Jags won the last meeting by a score of 6-0.
The game will also have an interesting storyline behind it due to Foles and Jags offensive coordinator John DeFilippo playing in their first game against their former offensive coordinator in Colts head coach Frank Reich. As many can recall, the trio all were a part of the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2017 team that won Super Bowl LII with Foles leading the way as the game’s MVP.
