After a Week 14 bye, the Broncos will return to action on Sunday as they host the Indianapolis Colts in a game with massive playoff implications. Denver currently holds two more wins than the Colts, although the head-to-head tiebreaker could become a factor in the final weeks of the season.

The Broncos will look to extend their three-game winning streak after scoring a game-high 41 points in Week 13 against Cleveland. Rookie Quarterback Bo Nix – who leads all rookie quarterbacks in the league with 17 passing touchdowns and averages 218.6 passing yards per game – should look for another strong performance on Sunday. Nix could turn to playmakers such as veteran receiver Courtland Suttonwho leads the Broncos with 63 receptions, 864 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns. Sutton has recorded over 70 receiving yards in each of his last six games – the longest streak of his career – and he could look to extend that in Week 15.

Defensively, the Broncos will aim to return to form after allowing a record total yards in their Week 13 victory. Denver will look to put pressure on quarterback Anthony Richardson, who has led the Colts to five of six wins of the team as a starter this season. Outside linebacker Nik Bonittowhose 11 sacks are tied for second in the NFL, could look to be a key contributor on Sunday. Defensive lineman Zach Allenwho is tied for second most quarterback hits in the league this season (25), could also aim to play a role in that effort. Denver currently leads the league in sacks (47) and the unit is tied for most defensive touchdowns (4) this season. The Broncos also have five players who have recorded more than five sacks in 2024, while no other team in the league has more than three of those players. Cornerback Pat Surtain IIwho has the highest PFF grade (84.3) among all cornerbacks, could also be looking for another strong performance in the Week 15 matchup.

Denver will look to continue its strong offensive and defensive play as the team seeks its ninth victory, which would represent the Broncos’ first winning season since 2016.

Denver has ruled out cornerback Riley Moss (knee). Safety Brandon Jones (abdomen) and cornerback Tremon Smith (non-injury related – personal) were not assigned game status, indicating they will be available to play in Sunday’s game.

For Indianapolis, wide receiver Ashton Dulin (ankle) and offensive tackle Braden Smith (non-injury related – personal) have been ruled out. Linebacker Jaylon Carlies (fibula, shoulder), receiver Josh Downs (shoulder), center Ryan Kelly (knee) and tight end Mo Alie-Cox (hip) were listed as questionable.
