Monday Night Football live stream: Watch online Colts vs Chargers [ESPN start time]

Monday Night Football will see the Indianapolis Colts take on the San Diego Chargers tonight in week 6 of the NFL season. The Colts are having a fantastic season until now, and seem to be building on their solid 11-5 finish to last year - a far cry from their terrible form in 2011.

Tonight's Monday Night Football game will start at 8.40 p.m. ET and will be broadcast in the ESPN network. For those hoping to catch the game online can watch the action through live stream – free for ESPN subscribers – via the link provided below.

Last year the Colts made the playoffs after their impressive regular season form. However, some were still skeptical over whether general manager Ryan Grigson had really turned the franchise around quite as much as the season had indicated. Skeptics had touted the Colts to go back to their 2011 form this season and show that last season was just a flash in the pan. However, they have proven critics wrong so far this season, going 4-1 to open up the season.

Last week's win over the Seattle Seahawks especially has turned heads and Indianapolis on current form seem to be the real deal. They are currently sixth in scoring offense and fifth in scoring defense.

Quarterback Andrew Luck has been much improved following working with new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton, and not many teams will enjoy being up against the Colts at the moment.

The Chargers meanwhile have struggled somewhat this season. They had hoped to have turned a corner a few weeks back when they gained a surprise win over the Dallas Cowboys, but they came crashing back down to earth last week when they lost to Oakland.

Which Chargers team will show up tonight for Monday Night Football? That could determine whether this will be a tight, exciting game, or whether it will just be a game the Colts dictate and pile on the points.
