The Minnesota Vikings and Indianapolis Colts face off in Week 9, with both teams looking for some change as the season reaches the halfway point. The Vikings were off to a blistering 5-0 start and Sam Darnold had found his way into the MVP discussion. Now, after a pair of straight losses, the Vikings are looking to get back on track in a crowded NFC North, with all four teams in the division firmly in the playoff mix.

Indianapolis makes a change at quarterback heading into Week 9, turning to Joe Flacco in place of Anthony Richardson, who, in addition to calling a play because he was tired in Week 8, hasn’t played well this season, shooting just 44% of matches completed. his passing with four touchdown passes and seven interceptions. But that leaves the Colts at 4-4 and alive in the AFC playoff picture, falling just a half-game out of the final AFC wild-card spot heading into Week 9’s “Sunday Night Football” game.
