Forty-Niners vs Colts: Title Hopes on the Line

The San Francisco Forty-Niners, currently underrated despite their four-game winning streak, face the Indianapolis Colts in a prime-time matchup. The Forty-Niners offense, led by Brock Purdy, ranks top five in expected points added per drop-back play and has improved their run game. The Colts, meanwhile, struggled with Philip Rivers arm strength last week and may face challenges against the Forty-Niners efficient attack. The Forty-Niners defense, led by Robert Saleh, has a full week to prepare and could expose the Colts limitations on both sides of the ball.
