Nobody is feeling good about themselves as the Indianapolis Colts visit the Denver Broncos in NFL Week 5 action on Thursday Night Football.

The Colts (1-2-1) have made a habit of falling behind early and trying to rally. They have trailed at halftime in all their games, including a 14-point hole that yielded a 24-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans last week.

The Broncos (2-2), despite the presence of Russell Wilson at quarterback, have also struggled offensively. They are coming off a loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, who earned their first victory.
