The Indianapolis Colts head into NFL Week 5 action with a Thursday night visit to the Denver Broncos.
Both teams face offensive issues. The Colts (1-2-1) are the league's lowest-scoring team despite being near the middle in yards gained. The Broncos (2-2) are 30th of 32 teams in scoring. Both teams are missing their top running back. Here's how the Colts will adjust to the absence of Jonathan Taylor.
Nate Atkins, Joel A. Erickson and Gregg Doyel will follow the action throughout. We'll have highlights and analysis, so please remember to refresh.

Of course, everyone wanted to see this game go to overtime. Many Broncos fans couldn't take it, leaving after regulation.
It's the first game to go to overtime without a touchdown scored since 2017.
This is the first game in NFL history in which both starting quarterbacks enter with 4 Pro Bowl berths and neither team scores a touchdown.
The Colts move to 2-2-1 and the Broncos fall to 2-3.
Matt Ryan, under siege all night, completes 26-of-41 passes for 251 yards, with 2 interceptions by Caden Sterns. Ryan is sacked 6 times.
Alec Pierce has 8 catches for 81 yards.
Russell Wilson goes 21-of-39 for 274 yards, plus 2 interceptions deep in Colts territory. He's sacked 4 times.
Courtland Sutton has 5 catches for 74 yards. Denver rushes for 117 yards.
5:04 left in overtime: Broncos have two big gainers
Passes to Melvin Gordon and Jerry Jeudy for a total of 61 yards put the Broncos at the Colts 14.
5:50 left in overtime: Colts take the lead for the first time
Chase McLaughlin hits from 48 yards. He's 4-for-4 tonight. Colts 12, Broncos 9

2:13 left 4Q: Stephon Gilmore intercepts Russell Wilson
The Colts cornerback grabs it in the end zone and they have new life with the ball at their 20.
This game is really something else. An end zone interception for the @Colts, and Indy is still in this! 😮#INDvsDEN on Prime Video

3:00 left 4Q: Broncos convert on 4th down
Russell Wilson completes to Eric Saubert on 4th-and-2. Denver is at the Colts 19.
3:48 left 4Q: Broncos are driving
Kwity Paye's absence is huge. Broncos have 4 runs for 48 yards to start this drive. They're over 100 yards for the game. Denver faces 2nd-and-12 at the Indy 39. Broncos LT Garett Bolles is carted off the field with a leg injury.
6:47 left 4Q: Defense's turn again
Matt Haack's 7th punt puts the Broncos at their 15.
8:33 left 4Q: Colts force a 3-and-out
They have the ball at their 29 after a Denver punt. The Colts have sacked Russell Wilson 4 times (DeForest Buckner 2, Yannick Ngakoue 1.5, Dayo Odeyingbo 0.5).
10:44 left 4Q: Promising Colts drive sputters
Broncos will start from their 20. Russell Wilson returns to the game after being examined on the sideline.
A 3rd-down sack -- the 5th against Matt Ryan -- pushes the Colts out of field goal range.
That's now 5 sacks and 12 quarterback hits tonight on Matt Ryan, and Frank Reich looks scared to call a pass play. And it's not Jonathan Taylor he's calling run plays for, either.
— Nate Atkins (@NateAtkins_) October 7, 2022
Official announcement in the press box is that Kwity Paye has a leg injury and his return is questionable.
— Joel A. Erickson (@JoelAErickson) October 7, 2022
14:07 left 4Q: Rodney Thomas II grabs and interception
Russell Wilson throws it right to him near the goal line, and the Colts rookie returns it to Indy's 39. Colts pass rusher Kwity Paye and Wilson are hurt on the play. Paye is taken off on a cart.
Interception Rodney Thomas, but it looks like Kwity Paye is down holding his leg awkwardly. #Colts#ForTheShoe#Broncos#BroncosCountry#INDvsDEN pic.twitter.com/GzJdevMs7b

End of third quarter: Still looking for a touchdown
Broncos lead the Colts 9-6 and have the ball at the Colts 31-yard line after a 34-yard screen pass from Russell Wilson to Mike Boone.
A screen again.

The referee should get credit with that deep ball by tackling Rodney Thomas II. The rookie has been money finding the ball down the field, but he can't run through zebras to do it.
— Nate Atkins (@NateAtkins_) October 7, 2022
8:51 left 3Q: Colts tie the Broncos
Chase McLaughlin hits from 51 yards, and we're tied. Colts 6, Broncos 6
Alec Pierce is up to 5 catches for 48 yards. The Colts have 63 rushing yards.
Chase McLaughlin is the hero of the Colts' scoring so far, nailing his second field goal of 50+ yards to tie the score 6-6.
Time to see if the Colts defense can get a turnover.— Nate Atkins (@NateAtkins_) October 7, 2022
Ashton Dulin has a foot injury, his return is questionable

Halftime: Broncos 6, Colts 3
Are the offenses terrible or are the defenses great?
Brandon McManus has field goals of 33 and 44 yards. Chase McLaughlin has one from 52 yards. There's your scoring.
Gruesome half:'Peyton Manning doesn't recognize any part of this game'
Matt Ryan is 12-of-19 for 140 yards, has been sacked 4 times and has thrown an interception. Rookie tackle Bernhard Raimann has been called for holding 3 times (2 accepted). Michael Pittman Jr. has 4 catches for 55 yards. Phillip Lindsay has 34 rushing yards.
Russell Wilson has 69 passing yards and 24 rushing yards for Denver.
There have been 7 combined punts.
I got nothing to say, other than the Colts suck.

10:58 left 2Q: Broncos get another field goal
Brandon McManus hits from 44 yards. Denver has 95 total yards, and Russell Wilson has passed for 64, run for 24. Broncos 6, Colts 0
End of first quarter: Broncos 3, Colts 0
Colts have allowed 2 sacks. 13 plays have yielded 32 yards. Matt Haack has punted 4 times.
In a sideline interview, Colts coach Frank Reich says they have to "tighten up the protection."
This is so fundamentally beyond play-calling at this point. Guys are running the wrong routes, dropping the ball, committing holding, throwing late.
That's like asking about leaving clothes in the dryer as your house burns down. https://t.co/OyQUYIqw6P— Nate Atkins (@NateAtkins_) October 7, 2022
Colts allowed two sacks, committed two holding penalties, dropped two passes, and muffed a punt in 1Q. Looks like they figured out that whole "slow start" thing by going ... slower.

Matt Ryan has been sacked once. They have 33 yards in 10 plays.
The new-look offensive line hasn't given Matt Ryan any more time than he'd previously had.
