Colts vs Ravens: Playoff Push Begins | NFL News

0:00On September 7th, the Indianapolis Colter gearing up for their season opener this Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Ownership is emphasizing the need to win, with the team's mantra of being to find a way. Each week, regardless of how pretty the victory is. This season carries a lot of weight, especially after missing the playoffs for five consecutive years. The Ravens are also coming off a disappointing 2025 season, finishing with the same 8-9 record as the Colts. However, Baltimore has been a consistent playoff team in the past, making their absence more notable. This Sunday's match-up sees the Ravens as three and a half point favorites, with the over-underset at 47 and a half points. Baltimore is navigating a coaching change, with Jesse Mincer taking over as head coach for the first time. His offensive coordinator, Declan Doyle, is a 30-year-old first-time play-caller. On the defensive side, Anthony Weaver returns to the Ravens after a stint with the dolphins, a team the Colt beat handily last year.

1:00The Colts are looking to get back to full strength this season. Quarterback Daniel Jones, defensive tackle de Forrest Buckner and cornerbacks Saus Gardner, Charvarius Ward Sr., and Justin Wally are all returning. From injuries that plagued them last year, the offense, which started strong before injuries, should see a boost with these key players back. With a healthier roster and new additions on defense, the Colt are aiming for a strong start. They'll need to overcome the challenge of facing Lamar Jackson and a revamped Raven squad. The game is scheduled to kick off at 1 o'clock PM Eastern Time on Sunday and will be broadcast on CBS. From around the league, powered by AI, this is NFL News Today. I'm Corey with the story.
