Colts vs Giants: Live updates, highlights, analysis from the Week 17 game

Thanks to an overtime victory by the Bengals on Saturday over the Broncos, Indianapolis Colts will enter Sunday’s game against the Giants with their playoff hopes still alive.

Help is certainly still a big part of the equation when it comes to the Colts making the postseason, but first they have to take care of their own business against the Giants.

This is a New York team that enters the game at 2-13, currently has the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft and has lost 10 straight games. It’s not often that the Colts are clearly the better team, but that’s the case today, and hopefully they can function as such.

However, they will have to do so without Anthony Richardson, who was ruled out on Saturday with back spasms. That means Joe Flacco will make his fifth start of the season for the Colts.

This game will be televised regionally on FOX in Week 17. Kickoff will be at 1:00 PM ET with Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma calling the game from the stands at MetLife Stadium, along with Megan Olivi reporting from the sidelines.
