The Indianapolis Colts will head to Denver to take on the Broncos in Week 2 of the NFL season. Here are the players who are listed as inactive.

In a classic AFC matchup, the Indianapolis Colts will head to Denver to take on the Broncos in Week 2. The Colts and Broncos had opposite results during their season opening games, so Sunday’s matchup should be a good one. Expect a classic game between a good offense and an elite defense.

In Week 1, the Denver Broncos unveiled new starting quarterback successfully. In a Thursday Night Football contest, the Broncos surprisingly beat the Carolina Panthers, as their defense was on full display. Denver crushed Cam Newton all game long, even throwing in some illegal hits along the way.

For the Colts, quarterback Andrew Luck did everything he could to avoid a loss against the Detroit Lions. In the end, it was not enough, as the Lions went on the road to beat Indianapolis. Luck had an incredible game, and appears to be fully healed from the injuries that robbed him of the 2015 NFL season.

The Lions do not have the kind of defense Denver does, so Luck will find it harder to exploit in Week 2. If he can put points on the board, Indy should be able to hang in, but the Broncos defense may be just too good. The Colts defense is not even close to as talented as the Panthers was, so expect Trevor Siemian to play better in his second career start.

Here are the players listed as inactive for Sunday’s game.

Denver showed on in Week 1 that they can win without an experienced quarterback and a great defense. Andrew Luck is going to pose some challenges to the Broncos in Week 2, but he won’t be enough to come out of Denver with the win.
