Indianapolis Colts’ Week 9 Game Against Minnesota Vikings Flexed to Sunday Night Football

The NFL has announced a significant change to the Week 9 schedule, affecting the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts’ game against the Minnesota Vikings, originally set for a 1:00 PM kickoff on November 3, has been flexed to the prime-time slot on Sunday Night Football, with a new kickoff time of 8:20 PM ET.

This adjustment replaces the previously scheduled Sunday Night Football game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Philadelphia Eagles, which will now be broadcast on CBS at 4:05 PM ET.

The Colts, led by quarterback Anthony Richardson, are preparing for a challenging matchup against the Vikings, who have had a strong season with Sam Darnold at the helm and a formidable defense under Brian Flores. The Vikings currently hold a 5-1 record going into Week 8.

This prime-time game will be a crucial test for the Colts, especially for Richardson, who has been recovering from an oblique injury and recently returned to play in Week 7.
