Of all the things NFL fans could’ve watched Thursday night, who would’ve thought Thursday Night Football would’ve ended up so low on the list?
Viewers hoping for an entertaining game between the Broncos and Colts in Denver were treated to a rather uneventful first half and plenty of sluggish play from both teams.
For what it’s worth, the expectations entering TNF were a bit tempered due to unfortunately-timed injuries to star Colts running back Jonathan Taylor and rising Broncos star Javonte Williams. Taylor was ruled out earlier in the week with an ankle injury while Williams’s season ended prematurely in Week 4 after he sustained a torn ACL against the Raiders.
