The Indianapolis Colts and the Jacksonville Jaguars face off on Sunday and not many would have expected these two teams to clash in Week 4 with the same record after the opening three weeks of the season. Today's big game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and takes place from the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Colts have been a shadow of themselves through the first three weeks of the season, however, things could have been a lot worse.
They find themselves entering Week 4 with a 1-2 record, but they were just minutes from being 0-3 last week after trailing the Tennessee Titans late on.
Coming into the fourth quarter at the Nissan Stadium in Nashville last week, the Colts were 14-27 down, and facing another poor defeat in a season that seemed to be going from bad to worse.
But 21 points in the final quarter rescued the game for the Colts, and gave them their first win. They will not care that it was just a two point margin 35-33 win against one of the poorer teams in the league, they got the win and that's all that matters at this point for Indianapolis.
They will expect to claim a second straight win here today against the hapless Jacksonville Jaguars. A defeat for the Colts today would plunge them into new depths of the crisis they find themselves in. But if they can win then 2-2 moving into Week 5 would not be the end of the world, and they would hope a surge through the midseason could get them in with a shout during the run-in.
Earlier this week, Thursday Night Football saw the Baltimore Ravens snap their losing run. The Ravens, entering the nationally televised game on 0-3, managed to steal the win in overtime, to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers 23-20.
The game had looked like the Ravens were in for another painfully close loss. Over the opening three weeks they had lost games by small margins, and often because they had lost concentration for a period earlier in the game, and simply could not get over the line in their fight-backs.
In the second period in their game against the Steelers they looked like they had done the same thing, allowed Pittsburgh to pile on 10 unanswered points. Coming into the fourth quarter 20-14 down it looked like the Ravens were heading for another defeat and would move to 0-4. However, they finally managed to complete their fightback after failing three times already this season.
The Ravens pulled the game back to 20-20 late on to send the game to overtime, and with momentum on their side, they finally got over the line and completed their first win of the season. That result probably damages the Steelers more than it helps the Ravens though, but the game was a perfect way to get Week 4 underway, and now on Sunday there will be 13 more games taking place as the season becomes even clearer as to who will be competing and who will be falling down this year.
