Pre-Match Context
The Falcons came into Week 10 having lost three straight games, including a narrow 24-23 defeat at New England. Atlanta needed a win to stop the bleeding and stay in the NFC South race. The Colts, at 7-2, held a lead of a game and a half over Jacksonville in the AFC South and were coming off a loss at Pittsburgh.
Indianapolis wanted a bounce back win before a Week 11 bye. Atlanta ruled out edge rusher Leonard Floyd with a hamstring injury and lineman Matthew Bergeron, and reserve tackle Storm Norton did not travel to Germany.
Indianapolis was without Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, who missed the game with a neck injury. Cornerback Sauce Gardner, acquired from the Jets days earlier, cleared the concussion protocol and started for the first time in a Colts uniform.
