The desk game: Colts at Steelers
Sunday, Oct. 11. 1 p.m. ET. CBS. Acrisure Stadium. Both clubs are 2–2.
Daniel Jones started and finished London: 19-of-34, 143 yards, one interception, one rushing touchdown. Jonathan Taylor scored twice. Anthony Richardson does not appear in that box. Living page: Colts quarterback depth chart 2026.
If Jones stays upright, Richardson watches again. If he does not, that page changes the same afternoon.
What to watch in Week 5
In order
- Thursday in Dallas. Bucs are 0–4. Cowboys are 2–2.
- Sunday morning in London. Eagles at Jaguars. 9:30 a.m. ET.
- Sunday 1 p.m. Colts at Steelers. The room.
- Sunday night: Ravens at Falcons. Atlanta just won 45–24.
- Monday: Bills at Rams.
What it means
The answer is short. Thursday in Dallas. Sunday the Colts are in Pittsburgh. London is the other morning game, not this desk’s game.
The schedule does not change. The scores will.
Desk note. Times and TV windows checked against the official 2026 Week 5 schedule as of Oct. 8, 2026. Bears–Packers is 1 p.m. ET on FOX. Scores go here after each final.
