INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts face a tough task Sunday as they try to bounce back from an ugly loss in Jacksonville against a talented Minnesota Vikings team coming off of its own disappointing divisional loss to the rival Green Bay Packers.
Indianapolis (0-1) hosts the Vikings at 1 p.m. at Lucas Oil Stadium in front of a maximum of 2,500 fans and viewed by the rest on WTTV. With both teams trying to avoid the dreaded 0-2 start — only 12.1 percent of teams that started 0-2 have made the postseason since the playoffs expanded to 12 teams in 1990 — here’s what to watch in the home opener.
