The Indianapolis Colts and the Jacksonville Jaguars will face off at 1 p.m. ET Sept. 13 at TIAA Bank Field to kick off their 2020 seasons. Last year was nothing to brag about for Indianapolis (7-9), so the squad is looking forward to a new start. Jacksonville struggled last year, too, ending up 6-10.
A pair of numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Colts were third best in rushing touchdowns allowed, finishing the 2019 season giving up only eight. Less enviably, the Jaguars were worst when it came to rushing touchdowns last season, with the team coming up with only three overall. We'll see if Indianapolis' defense can continue to keep Jacksonville's running backs out of the end zone.
Indianapolis has the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency. These early season matchups can go either way as both teams get back into playing shape.
