ATL Falcons vs. IND Colts Game Day Preview
The NFL’s global tour continues with a historic stop in Berlin as the Indianapolis Colts (7–2) face the Atlanta Falcons (3–5) at Olympiastadion — the league’s first-ever regular season game in Germany’s capital city.
Indianapolis arrives as a 6.5-point favorite and one of the AFC’s hottest teams, boasting the league’s second-best offense over the last three weeks (32.0 PPG). Head coach Shane Steichen has the Colts positioned atop the AFC South, and the recent addition of All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner has only fueled postseason optimism. Gardner, cleared from concussion protocol, is expected to debut Sunday — giving Indy’s secondary a much-needed lift after recent struggles against the pass.
Atlanta, meanwhile, is searching for answers. The Falcons have dropped three straight and are averaging just 14.3 points per game over that stretch. Rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has flashed promise but continues to struggle under pressure, especially against disciplined three- and four-man rushes. Head coach Raheem Morris hopes his defense, ranked top 10 in takeaways, can spark momentum. But with the Colts’ offense humming and their run defense stout, the Falcons will need near-perfect execution to pull the upset in Berlin.
Atlanta Falcons
2025 Record: 3–5 (3rd NFC South)
2025 Road Record: 1–4
2025 ATS Record: 4–4
StatementGames NFL Power Ranking: #24
The Falcons’ season has been a tale of inconsistency. They’ve dropped three straight games and now rank just 26th in scoring (19.0 PPG). While their rushing attack remains top-10 thanks to Bijan Robinson, the offensive line injuries to Matthew Bergeron and Chris Lindstrom have severely limited the unit’s rhythm. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has faced relentless pressure, and although he threw three touchdowns to Drake London last week, his efficiency continues to dip under duress.
Defensively, Atlanta still shows flashes of strength — particularly in the takeaway department — but opponents have averaged 26 points per game over the last three contests. With Gardner likely shadowing London, tight end Kyle Pitts could see a heavy workload, as Indianapolis has shown vulnerability against opposing tight ends.
Raheem Morris, coaching in the historic Olympiastadion, noted the significance of the setting: “Obviously, we’re going to a very important Olympic spot, where Jesse Owens won a gold medal in front of Hitler. It’s just crazy to think about playing in that exact same stadium.” The Falcons may need some of that Olympic spirit to pull off an upset and end their losing skid.
‼️ Exclusive 💣 Raheem Morris has shown interest in potentially bringing James Franklin onto his coaching staff, per source.
However, it appears Franklin wants to remain coaching in college.

Indianapolis Colts
2025 Record: 7–2 (1st AFC South)
2025 Road Record: 3–1
2025 ATS Record: 6–3
StatementGames NFL Power Ranking: #4
The IND Colts enter Week 10 looking like a legitimate AFC contender. Quarterback Daniel Jones has steadied the offense with efficient play and strong decision-making, while running back Jonathan Taylor continues to thrive behind one of the league’s most consistent offensive lines. Indianapolis ranks second in the NFL in points per drive (3.46) and has scored 30+ points in three of its last four games.
Defensively, the trade for Sauce Gardner signaled that the front office believes this team can make a serious playoff push. Gardner’s debut could immediately improve a secondary that has surrendered too many explosive plays. The Colts’ run defense, however, remains a force — holding opponents under 90 rushing yards per game over the past month.
Head coach Shane Steichen kept the team grounded after a six-turnover loss in Pittsburgh, reminding players to “focus on today, not the future.” Still, this roster looks balanced, confident, and built to make noise in the AFC postseason picture.
#Colts HC Shane Steichen says CB Sauce Gardner remains in concussion protocol from his time with the Jets, but he will practice today and is expected to play Sunday vs. the #Falcons in Germany.
