Why this game matters
London calling — the first one of 2026
The NFL's 2026 International Series opens at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and both teams cross the Atlantic at 1–2 with their seasons at a crossroads. Washington is the designated home team — and the Commanders are 0–2–1 in international games all-time, so history says this trip has not been kind.
Two teams coming off their first wins
The Colts got their first win of the season in Week 3, beating the Texans 19–17 on a last-gasp field goal. The Commanders topped it — a 33–31 upset of the defending champion Seahawks. One of these teams leaves London at .500 with real momentum; the other falls to 1–3 with the season slipping.
The quarterback question
Jayden Daniels dislocated his elbow in Week 2 against Dallas but practiced this week and is listed as questionable. Marcus Mariota (294 yards, 4 TDs on the season) led the Seattle upset in his place. Who starts in London decides how Washington attacks — and whether the Colts' defense can tee off.
A rivalry with history
The 33rd all-time meeting: Indianapolis leads the series 21–11. The last one was Week 8 of 2022, when Washington walked out of Lucas Oil Stadium with a 17–16 win.
