As the Indianapolis Colts prepare to face off against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, fans are eager to see if the team can turn around their recent performance.

The most recent game against the Los Angeles Chargers ended in disappointment for the Colts, managing only 3 points compared to the Chargers' 20. This loss was characterized by significant defensive efforts with four sacks and an interception but was overshadowed by offensive struggles including three interceptions and seven sacks allowed.


A closer look at their penultimate game reveals a narrow defeat to the Minnesota Vikings with a score of 36-39. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways including five successful field goals and two interceptions returned—one for a touchdown. However, penalties proved costly with 11 infractions resulting in over 100 penalty yards.


Going back further, we see another tough outing against the Dallas Cowboys where they scored 19 points but conceded an overwhelming 54 points. The defense managed one sack and one interception while turnovers were again an issue as they lost two fumbles and threw three interceptions.


As we approach this upcoming game, it's clear that protecting possession will be crucial for Indianapolis. Their ability to minimize turnovers while capitalizing on scoring opportunities will be key factors in seeking victory at MetLife Stadium.


The Colts' fans should expect an intense battle as their team looks to leverage its defensive prowess while addressing offensive vulnerabilities showcased in previous matchups.


Catch all the action live from East Rutherford on January 1st at 1 PM Eastern Time on CBS where you'll witness whether or not Indianapolis can harness its potential and secure a much-needed win as we kick off the new year.
