What channel is the Jaguars-Colts game on today? Start time, announcers, and more
The Jacksonville Jaguars will be looking to put an end to the four-game losing skid they're riding when they welcome the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5. This will be the Jags' first divisional matchup of the season, and they should be incentivized to win when you take into account that Tom Coughlin, the most successful head coach in team history, will be inducted into the Pride of the Jaguars.
Apart from honoring Coughlin, Jacksonville will be wearing the Prowler throwbacks, so the last thing they'll want will be to lose on such a special day. Working in their favor is that they'll probably be getting several contributors in time for the bout.
Defensive end Josh Hines-Allen entered concussion protocol in Week 4 but has been cleared to play against the Colts. On top of that, defensive back Darnell Savage and linebacker Devin Lloyd could also be available for the game. The former has missed three games but is trending toward playing. The latter should be also good to go, according to head coach Doug Pederson.
Right now, Jacksonville is a 2.5-point favorite, and it's easy to see why. The game will be held at Everbank Stadium, and Indianapolis will be without several key contributors, including running back Jonathan Taylor, cornerback Kenny Moore II, and defensive end Kwity Paye.
Furthermore, quarterback Anthony Richardson has been downgraded to doubtful after getting the questionable tag on the Week 5 injury report.
Ultimately, the Jaguars cannot afford to lose another game. Otherwise, things will get ugly, and Doug Pederson's seat will get incrementally hotter. With that in mind, here's how you can watch the bout.
