Both the Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts are in a similar situation right now. They have some nice pieces to compete but their quarterback situation is shaky, to say the least, so they’re not a lock to make the playoffs.

Also, considering that this is the final week of thepreseason, we wouldn’t expect the starters to be out there for most of the game, as coaches will rather prevent injuries instead of risking their stars on meaningless games.

The Indianapolis Colts trusted Carson Wentz to lead their offense going forward which seemed like a good idea on paper. Nonetheless, he’s hurt already and it’s unclear when he’ll be able to play or if he’ll be able to pad up at all this season.
