The Indianapolis Colts faced a disappointing loss against the Minnesota Vikings, with Joe Flacco struggling in his debut as the starting quarterback after Anthony Richardson's benching. Flacco's performance was lackluster, leading to questions about the Colts' decision to switch quarterbacks.

Despite the Colts' defense showing some resilience, they couldn't capitalize on opportunities, resulting in a 21-13 defeat. The Vikings, led by Sam Darnold, managed to bounce back from their two-game losing streak, showcasing a mixed offensive performance.
