The Denver Broncos led by Russell Wilson will take on Matt Ryan and the Indianapolis Colts to kickstart Week 5.
The Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts will lock horns against each other on Thursday Night Football to start Week 5 of this season. Both teams are dealing with injuries to key players, and it could ultimately end up being a battle between two veteran quarterbacks.
Russell Wilson and the Broncos are off to a 2-2 start to the season, but their offense has been a worrying sign. The results haven’t been promising for them, but the team will hope to bounce back against the Colts.
On the other hand, all the preseason expectations for the Colts have turned out massively wrong as they have been disastrous in this season so far. They are off to a 1-2-1 start, and quarterback Matt Ryan needs to carry his teammates and get a win against the Broncos.
