Detroit Lions vs. Indianapolis Colts first half open thread

The Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts are about to kick off in what should be a litmus test for both teams. The Colts are 4-2, but their wins come against some uninspiring teams. The Lions, 3-3, can really say the same thing, but they have looked far better out of the bye week.

The Colts are coming off a bye week of their own, and they’re looking quite healthy heading into Sunday’s game. Not only did Mo Alie-Cox and Ryan Kelly manage to make it to the active list, but Indy will also be getting back linebacker Darius Leonard and rookie wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr.

The Lions, too, won’t be able to use the injury excuse this week. While starting cornerback Desmond Trufant is out, nickel corner Justin Coleman is back after missing the past five games. Additionally, despite a midweek shoulder injury, Taylor Decker will play, giving Detroit an offensive line at full strength.

Come watch the game with us and chat right here during the first two quarters.
