The NFL announced the complete 2022 schedule on Thursday, and the Indianapolis Colts are officially set to kick off their 2022 season at the Houston Texans at 1 p.m. ET on CBS. That, of course, is a divisional game and their next one will come in Week 2 at the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Colts went 9-8 in the 2021 season but missed out on the postseason because of their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 18. Indy traded for quarterback Matt Ryan after they traded last year’s quarterback Carson Wentz to the Washington Commanders. They re-signed tight end Mo-Alie Cox to a three-year, $18 million deal. With their first pick in the 2022 NFL draft, the Colts selected Cincinnati WR Alec Pierce in the second round.
All times listed are Eastern.
