Week 15 begins on Thursday night (8:25 PM ET, NBC/NFLN/Amazon) as the Denver Broncos travel to Lucas Oil Stadium to battle the Indianapolis Colts. The Broncos and Colts meet for the 27th time, including the postseason, with the series tied 13-13. In their last meeting (September 18, 2016), Denver scored two defensive touchdowns in the fourth quarter – a 46-yard interception-return touchdown by cornerback Aqib Talib and a 15-yard fumble-return touchdown by linebacker Shane Ray– in the Broncos’ 34-20 win.

Denver aims for its second consecutive win after defeating the New York Jets 23-0 in Week 14. Broncos linebacker Von Miller, who has 10 sacks this year, has recorded at least 10 sacks in six of his seven career seasons and leads the NFL with 83.5 sacks since entering the league in 2011. Denver wide receiver Demaryius Thomas is one of two NFL players (Antonio Brown) with at least 500 catches (560), 7,500 receiving yards (7,641) and 50 touchdown catches (50) since 2012.

Indianapolis looks to rebound following a 13-7 overtime loss at Buffalo last week. Colts running back Frank Gore rushed for 130 yards in Week 14 and has 42 career games with at least 100 rushing yards, the second-most among active players (Adrian Peterson, 51). Gore, who has 941 scrimmage yards this season, can become the second player in NFL history with at least 1,000 scrimmage yards in 12 consecutive seasons, joining Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith, who accomplished the feat in 13 consecutive seasons from 1990-2002.
