Giants vs. Colts: 3 causes for concern in Week 17

The New York Giants host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday and will head into their final two games of the season as the lone team in the NFL with just two wins.

With their loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16, the Giants’ current losing streak of 10 games is the longest in the NFL and the longest franchise history.

Meanwhile, the Colts are coming off a win against the Tennessee Titans keeping their slim postseason hopes alive.

The Giants opened as 7.5-point home underdogs earlier this week, and they will host their final home game of the season on Sunday.

Here are three causes for concern for the Giants ahead of Week 17.

The hot hand

The Giants have struggled against the run all season long (although they’ve been better in recent weeks). They will now have to go up against a running back in Jonathan Taylor who put up 200-plus yards and three touchdowns last week.

The Colts ran 50 times in Week 16 and had just 11 passing attempts on the day. If Indy has their rushing game working again early on, expect them to keep going to it if the Giants can’t stop them.

MetLife Stadium woes

The Giants are in danger of becoming the first team in NFL history to lose nine home games in one season. As if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, they are doing it as they celebrate the franchise’s 100th season.

In the last few home games, fans have funded banners to fly over MetLife stadium in protest. It certainly doesn’t help when fans cheered a few short weeks ago as the Giants’ attempt at a game-tying field goal was blocked against the Saints.

The Giants have been really bad at home this year and those struggles are likely to continue in Week 17.

The injury report

One of the few players on the Giants who has something to play for personally is Malik Nabers. He and many other notable names appeared on the injury report on Wednesday. The Giants are so beat up on both sides of the ball that they can not afford more injuries.

Monster Jam delivers big thrills for Indianapolis crowds

The smell of methanol racing fuel and the buzz of anticipation filled Lucas Oil Stadium as a procession of monster trucks rumbled into position for Monster Jam’s two-show weekend on January 31 and February 1.

Monster trucks do it all — from high‑speed sprint races to the crowd‑favorite freestyle finale, where drivers push the limits with wheelies, flips and massive jumps. Each truck carries its own personality, from the legendary Grave Digger to Sparkle Smash, the unicorn‑themed fan favorite.

Throughout the event, Monster Jam drivers compete in several categories, including racing, the two‑wheel skills challenge, the donut competition and freestyle.

The experience extends beyond the arena. For dedicated fans, Monster Jam offers pit parties and special events — including this weekend’s Sparkle Smash Girl Power Party held Friday during practice. The event, hosted in partnership with Riley Children’s Health, welcomed 12 guests who had the chance to meet Sparkle Smash driver Jamie Sullivan and Lucas Stabilizer driver Cynthia Gauthier.
