Joe Flacco and the Indianapolis Colts face Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings in primetime this week on Sunday Night Football. Live coverage begins at 7:00 PM ET with Football Night in America on NBC and Peacock. See below for additional information on how to watch and live stream the Indianapolis Colts vs Minnesota Vikings game.

Indianapolis Colts:

The Indianapolis Colts lost 23-20 to the Houston Texans on Sunday. Indianapolis had a 10-3 lead after the first quarter, but at the end of the first half, Anthony Richardson’s pass was intercepted, leading to a touchdown on the next play, ultimately giving Houston a 17-10 lead. Richardson finished Sunday’s game with a career-low 31.3 completion percentage, throwing for 175 passing yards with 1 passing touchdown and 2 turnovers.

Why did the Colts bench Anthony Richardson?

The second-year QB missed Weeks 5 and 6 with an oblique injury but has been inconsistent in his six starts this year. Richardson is 3-3 on the season and has completed just 44.4 percent of his passes for 958 yards with four touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Joe Flacco will be the starting quarterback in Sunday night’s match up against the Vikings. In his four appearances this season Flacco has completed 65.7% of his passes for 716 yards, throwing 7 touchdowns and just 1 interception.

Mike Florio and Devin McCourty evaluate if things are over for Anthony Richardson in Indianapolis and how his development will be affected by sitting on the bench again.

Minnesota Vikings:

Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings look to bounce back after falling to the Rams on Thursday, in their second straight loss. WR Justin Jefferson finished with a season-high 8 receptions for 115 receiving yards, while Darnold completed 18-of-25 for 240 pass yards and 2 touchdowns. It was his second game of the season without an interception and with multiple touchdown passes.

Darnold, now in his seventh NFL season, has thrown for 1,610 yards and 14 touchdown passes. With a passer rating of 107.3, he ranks fourth in the league and is on pace to set career highs in both passing yards and touchdowns.

Darnold, the No. 3 overall pick of the 2018 Draft, signed a one-year deal with the Vikings in March. The Vikings are his fourth team and his third in three seasons.
