With the NFL Schedule soon to release, the Indianapolis Colts have three opponents in 2022 that they should face in a primetime game.
The NFL will release the 2022 schedule on Thursday night, May 12, in an 8:00 pm ET special on NFL Network. Teams already know their opponents, but the special will reveal the order and time of the games.
The Indianapolis Colts are a team that should be contending next season and as a result, they may have multiple primetime games.
Considering the acquisitions Indy recently made and the stars that are already on the team, the Colts should be featured for some national games.
While we’ll have to wait to see for sure, there are three opponents that Indianapolis should definitely be playing in a primetime slot. Let’s look at the 3 games that deserve everyone’s attention.

Carson Wentz returning to Indianapolis
After one year, a disastrous ending, and many reports of internal dysfunction, Indy traded Carson Wentz to the Washington Commanders.
However, Wentz will be making his return to Lucas Oil Stadium sometime next season. Of course, this isn’t going to be like Tom Brady returning to Foxborough, but there’s still a story there.
The Colts pretty much made the decision to move on from Wentz soon as the season ended and everything they’ve said since that moment shows that Indy couldn’t be happier with the fact that Wentz is no longer quarterback.
Surely, the competitor that Wentz is would love to lead his new Commander team into Indianapolis and dominate the Colts, silencing the crowd.
Even with the storyline, a game between the Colts and Washington probably doesn’t deserve the Sunday Night Football slot but it makes a lot of sense for a Thursday or Monday Night game.
