STATEMENT FROM BILL POLIAN

Despite missing five games, Buckner's 6.5 sacks rank seventh among defensive tackles this season. 

The Colts play the Tennessee Titans, New York Giants and Jacksonville Jaguars in the final three games of the regular season.

The NFL made the scheduling announcement Tuesday. The game had previously been listed with a TBD kickoff date and time. 

The Colts' 31-13 loss to the Denver Broncos did not eliminate them from postseason contention, but created a difficult path to reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2020. 

The Colts' 31-13 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 15 was punctuated by two catastrophic plays in the second half. 

Through 13 games, Latu has 25 tackles, four sacks, 33 pressures and 12 quarterback hits.

The award is an annual recognition for courageous play by an individual, and is voted on by players. 

Anthony Richardson's completion percentage on short and intermediate throws has been mostly right around or above league average since he returned from his two-week benching in Week 11. 

Moore is the first Colts player to be nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the Year twice, with his first nomination coming in 2021.

Nix has a 63.8 completion percentage with 2,842 yards and 17 touchdowns through 13 games this season.

The result of the Colts' Week 15 game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday will have major implications for the AFC playoff race. 

The Colts play the Broncos on Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High.
