The Story in 60 Seconds

The Indianapolis Colts travel to face the undefeated 5-0 Minnesota Vikings on October 25, following a 26-20 Week 6 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The defeat against Tennessee led to the dismissal of general manager Chris Ballard. Writer Kyle Wright highlights three key statistical thresholds the Colts must hit to pull off an upset against Minnesota's dominant defense.

According to Wright, the Colts must score more than 17 points, as Minnesota is 10-0 over two seasons when holding opponents under that mark. Additionally, Wright argues Indianapolis needs to win the rushing battle by topping 140 rushing yards and must generate more than 255 total offensive yards to stay competitive.
