The Indianapolis Colts are traveling to Minnesota to take on the Vikings for Week 9, and they'll be doing it on Sunday Night Football. This game comes at a difficult time for the Colts; they just lost a divisional match-up to the Houston Texans in Week 8, and they're in the midst of a quarterback controversy.
Anthony Richardson was benched this week in favor of veteran QB Joe Flacco, with head coach Shane Steichen saying Flacco gives the Colts the best chance at winning through the rest of the season. While Flacco undeniably plays better than Richardson, the shocking decision has allegedly put the locker room into turmoil, as multiple players said they heard the news through social media, and Steichen told reporters that he couldn't say if the team supported the decision to bench Richardson.
The Minnesota Vikings were already going to be a tough opponent for the Colts; now, with the off-field drama, it could be even harder. Most analysts are predicting a Vikings win, but an upset could be a huge boost for the beleagured Colts.
