Current Trends:
Falcons:
The Falcons are 6-8 entering Week 16 and are currently on a two-game losing streak. They are 3rd in the NFC South, a game behind the New Orleans Saints and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Falcons came in at 23rd on A to Z Sports' Week 16 Power Rankings. According to Pro Football Focus, the Falcons have graded out as the 16th-best offense and the 12th-best defense in the NFL this season.
Colts:
The Colts are 8-6 entering Week 16 and are coming off their largest win of the season over the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are currently 2nd in the AFC South, .5 game behind the Jacksonville Jaguars. They come into Week 16 as the 7th seed in the AFC playoff picture with an opportunity to rise the wildcard standings and take control of the AFC South with a Jaguars loss. The Colts came in at 12th on A to Z Sports' Week 16 Power Rankings. According to Pro Football Focus, the Colts have graded out as the 23rd-best offense and the 15th-best defense in the NFL this season.
Opponent Player Spotlight of the Week:
Drake London:
The poor QB play has held Drake London back from fully breaking out on the NFL scene, but his talent is undeniable. He is just two weeks removed from the best game of his young career, where he exploded for ten receptions for 172 yards against the Buccaneers in Week 14. He will now face a young Colts secondary with Taylor Heinicke under center. London has only surpassed 100 yards two times this season, but the Colts would be wise not to underestimate the Falcons top weapon in the passing game this week.
Colts Player Spotlight of the Week:
Juju Brents:
This will be Colts rookie Juju Brents 2nd game back from injury. And he had multiple impactful plays in both the pass and run game last week. He will likely be lined up against the Falcons top WR in Drake London this week. Last week, the Colts were able to shut down the Steelers struggling offense, and they will hope to do the same against the Falcons in Week 16. And it all starts with Brents and the Colts young secondary not allowing the Falcons passing game to impact this game.
