Colts Face Falcons in NFL Game at Berlin’s Olympiastadion
Berlin, Germany — The Atlanta Falcons (3-5) are set to face off against the Indianapolis Colts (7-2) in Week 10 of the NFL season on November 9, 2025, at Olympiastadion. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. ET. The Colts are looking to bounce back after a tough loss in Week 9, while the Falcons aim to end their three-game losing streak.
The Colts have emerged as a surprise contender this season, pushing for the top spot in the AFC. Atlanta, on the other hand, hopes a victory can revive their faltering season. ‘It’s a must-win for us to stay relevant in the playoff race,’ said Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr.
The game comes with added significance as it marks the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Both teams aim to honor the occasion, reflecting on its historical impact while competing on the field.
Indianapolis running back Jonathan Taylor is on the cusp of tying Edgerrin James for the most rushing touchdowns in Colts history. Taylor’s significant playmaking ability has kept the Colts in contention this season. ‘I’m focused on the team’s success, but it would be an honor to tie that record,’ he stated.
The Falcons will contend with 13 players on their injury report, including offensive linemen Storm Norton and Matthew Bergeron who are both out. Defensive struggles have compounded Atlanta’s issues lately. ‘We need to tighten our defense if we want to compete,’ said Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich.
As both teams prepare for their encounter, the atmosphere in Berlin builds around the anticipation of this international matchup. The Colts and Falcons each have high stakes hanging in the balance, making for an electrifying game.
