The Denver Broncos will host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in one of the biggest games in Week 2 of the NFL 2016 regular season. The Broncos will be hoping to go 2-0 with another win today, where as the Colts are still looking for their first win of the season. The game has a scheduled start time of 4.25 p.m. ET and takes place from Sports Authority Field in Denver, Colorado. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Broncos will be happy with themselves coming into Week 1. They faced a huge test against the Carolina Panthers for their opening game - a rematch of last season's Super Bowl. And without Peyton Manning pulling the strings for the Broncos there was the chance that they may be more vulnerable during their transition period to a new starting quarterback after so many years with the reliable Manning at the helm.
Things were not all easy sailing for Denver though, and things did not look good heading into the final quarter with the Broncos down 7-17.
But the offense exploded into action in the final quarter to see the Broncos steal the win 21-20.
The Colts meanwhile were unable to complete their comeback against a strong Detroit Lions side in Week 1. Coming into the final quarter, the Colts were 18-28 behind, and although they rallied in the fourth, they ultimately came up short, losing their season opener 35-39.
They will be desperate to claim a win today against the Broncos to ensure they do not drop to 0-2 to start their season, which would give them a lot of work to do to get back into Playoff contention only two weeks into the season.
Earlier this week on Thursday Night Football the New York Jets achieved their first win of the season as they defeated their in-state rivals, the Buffalo Bills 37-31.
The Jets had opened up their season with a disappointing loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, where they looked like they were still in pre-season. However, the Jets woke up on Thursday night, and put on a much more explosive display.
Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick completed an impressive 24 of 34 passes for 374 yards as he took apart the Bills' secondary with the help of wide receivers Eric Decker, Brandon Marshall and Quincy Enunwa.
Decker put on a stellar performance with six catches and a touchdown, and moved to 18 straight games recording at least 80 receiving yards or a touchdown.
Marshall meanwhile also had a fantastic game, recording six catches for 101 yards. He did give the Jets a scare in the second quarter when he went down with a knee injury. Marshall made a 15 yard reception but went down under Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore. Marshall was down on the field for several minutes.
Marshall said after the game: "I thought I was done. I thought I was going to be finishing in my backyard in Florida."
However, even though he departed the field with the help of trainers, he returned to the game and continued to tease the Bills' defense.
Fitzpatrick later said, "Brandon is one of the tougher guys you'll ever see. They were looking at his knee, and I didn't think it was good. To see him on the ground in pain, I knew something was wrong. But then, when he stepped back in the huddle later on, it was a big surprise, but relief as well."
Tyrod Taylor tried to get the Bills offense going, and completed 18 of 30 for 297 yards and three touchdowns, however, Buffalo were just too inconsistent throughout the night and lacked efficiency in their play.
Week 2 continues today and the Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts will take to the field to start at 4.25 p.m. ET. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream by clicking here.
