Colts vs. Vikings result, live updates: Joe Flacco takes over for Indianapolis as Minnesota tries to bounce back from two straight losses

The Minnesota Vikings and Indianapolis Colts face off in Week 9, with both teams looking for some variety as the season reaches its halfway point. The Vikings got off to a roaring 5-0 start and Sam Darnold had found his way into the MVP discussion. Now, after a pair of straight losses, the Vikings are looking to get back on track in the crowded NFC North, with all four teams in the division firmly in the playoffs.

Indianapolis makes a change at quarterback to start Week 9, using Joe Flacco in place of Anthony Richardson, who was not only out for one play because he was tired in Week 8, but also hasn't played well this season and only He completed his passes in 44% of games with four touchdown passes and seven interceptions. However, that leaves the Colts very active in the AFC playoffs at 4-4 and entering Week 9's Sunday Night Football matchup just half a game out of the final AFC wild card spot.

  • Joe Flacco starts for the Colts on Sunday Night Football

    According to coach Shane Steichen, Anthony Richardson sits “forward” on the bench. The assumption is that the move is a “soft bench” move and that Flacco will remain at the helm as long as Indianapolis is in the AFC playoff race.

    While filling in for an injured Deshaun Watson in Cleveland last year, Flacco led the Browns to five straight wins and an unexpected playoff berth.

  • TJ Hockenson is back

    The Vikings' star tight end makes his season debut tonight, just as Minnesota looks to end a two-game losing streak.
