It may seem like just a regular Week 15 slate, but the stampede blue community recognizes that major playoff implications are at stake on Empower Field at Mile High this Sunday as the Indianapolis Colts face the Denver Broncos.
With a road win, the Colts playoff chances emerge to 66%, according to The New York Times 2024 NFL playoff simulator. With a loss, the Colts wild card hopes diminish to just 8%. Indianapolis (6-7) owns the tie-breaker over Miami (6-7), so taking the tie-breaker over Denver would realistically allow the Colts to control their own destiny.
