Golden Nuggets: Injuries Abound

Good morning folks, and a happy Thursday to you. Tonight's game to kick off the fifth week of the season is one that would've been an absolute thriller just a few years back - but just doesn't have the same "oomph" this year. The New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts are two teams led by great quarterbacks, yet both teams have struggled through the first quarter of the season. Of course, this game could conceivably end up a wild shoot-out, so I'd say it's worth at least keeping an eye on. Also, this game marks the first time former 49er and current Colts Special Teams Coordinator Bubba Ventrone's will against go the Patriots as a coach - after beginning both his playing and coaching career under Bill Belichick.
