The last time these two teams met, the Broncos were undefeated—coming off their best victory of the season to date—and the Colts were struggling bad, having just fired their offensive
coordinator the week prior. We all know how that ended—Andrew Luck played far and away his best game of his 2015 season, throwing for 256 yards, 2 TD’s and no picks. It came at a cost, however, as Luck suffered a lacerated kidney in the contest and missed the rest of the season. The game saw the Broncos suffer their first loss of the season; Peyton Manning fell a few yards short of the passing record and suffered a tear in his Plantar Fascia; and it was topped off by Aqib Talib going all Bobby Boucher on Dwayne Allen:
There is no doubt that the Colts will be out for vengeance on Talib, but you had better believe the Broncos would like some revenge as well; not only for breaking up their bid at an undefeated season, but also for knocking them out of the playoffs the year before.
