The starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts in Sunday’s NFL game against the Seattle Seahawks is still to be decided, coach Shane Steichen said on Friday afternoon.

The Patriots were on the bye in Week 14 and have a massive contest against the Buffalo at Gillette Stadium on Sunday. While that game won't flip the standings in the AFC East in the event that New England loses, a win would lock it up for Mike Vrabel's club .

The Colts are looking to avoid becoming the 6th team since the 1970 Merger to miss the playoffs after starting 7-1 or better through 8 games (2012 Bears, 1996 Washington, 1988 Saints, 1987 Chargers, 1975 Dolphins) Lets take a deeper dive into this week’s matchup between the two teams seemingly headed in opposite directions.

Looking at their schedule, it’s not going to work. They have a tough road with really good defenses. Philip is a sitting duck."

One NFL executive does not believe that the Phillip Rivers to the Indianapolis Colts story is going to end well. The Athletic's Jeff Howe recently spoke with nine coaches and executives from around the NFL about this signing.

The Colts' season has disintegrated under losses and injuries. Seattle has won three straight and has not allowed a touchdown for two straight weeks.
