The Indianapolis Colts are facing off with the Denver Broncos tonight in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of the season. Denver went into Indianapolis last season and were sent home with a loss, and they are looking to get revenge. This will also mark the second game that former Colts’ franchise quarterback Peyton Manning faces his old team.

There are quite a few things that the Colts are going to have to do in order to come away with a win. Defensively, they are going to need a lot of pass rush and playmaking in the secondary to slow down Manning. Offensively, Andrew Luck will have to remain calm and collected in one of the most hostile atmospheres that he has ever played in during his football career.

What three keys do the Colts have to make sure to take care of in order to come away with a win this evening?
