“As far as the injuries are concerned, [Offensive Lineman] Rob [Havenstein] and [Wide Receivers] Davante [Adams], they came in and they're a little sore," stated McVay. "Rob with his ankle will not participate today. Davante has a sore hamstring. Everybody else will be limited, but we’ll take it a day at a time with those guys. We’re not expecting it to affect their game status but like I said, we'll take it a day at a time.”

Matthew Stafford on Colts

“Really well-coached," stated Stafford. "I have a lot of respect for [Colts Defensive Coordinator] Lou [Anarumo]. I think he does a hell of a job, been up against him a few times and he gives you a lot to look at at the quarterback position. I think they've got talented players at all three levels. Both their corners are guys that have played football in the NFL for a long time and are talented guys."

"Got some guys that are really disruptive up front. Their backers are running and hit guys. Really every level of their defense, I feel like they've got guys that can impact the game. I think they're in the right place at the right time. They're well-coached. I think he puts them in a position to be successful. Then they're obviously 3-0 playing at a good clip right now. It'll be a challenge like it is every single week for us.”
