The NFL announced the complete 2021 schedule on Wednesday, May 12, and the Indianapolis Colts are officially set to kick off their 2021 season at home against the Seattle Seahawks at 1 PM. Their first divisional game will be in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans on the road.
The Colts finished the 2020 season with an 11-5 record, tied for the best mark in the AFC South, and they fell to the Buffalo Bills in the wild card round. Indianapolis will have a much different look this as Phillip Rivers announced his retirement after one season with the Colts. Carson Wentz is going to be the Indianapolis quarterback this season as he is reunited with Frank Reich after a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Colts tried to improve the defense in the draft where they selected a pair of defensive ends with their first two picks. If Wentz can improve his play from the past few seasons with the new change of scenery, the Colts could be the favorites to claim the division.
All times listed are Eastern.
