The Indianapolis Colts need some help if they hope to make the playoffs, but they also need to take care of business against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Jacksonville has just one win this season, but that lone victory came against Indianapolis in Week 1. As such, Colts head coach Frank Reich is hoping to avoid all distractions by blotting out the scores of other games so his team remains focused on the task at hand.

The task could be made slightly easier due to some key Jags being ruled out due to injury. Jacksonville announced Friday that DJ Chark (shin), Collin Johnson (hamstring) and James Robinson (ankle) are all out.

The two teams will be on opposite ends of the football spectrum Sunday.

Jacksonville is locked in for the No. 1 pick, essentially earning the right to select Clemson star quarterback Trevor Lawrence. But the Colts are still fighting for their playoff lives.

Indianapolis could otherwise be in a better position had it held on to an early lead against the Pittsburgh Steelers last weekend. The Colts led 24-7 at one point and 24-14 heading into the fourth quarter, but the Steelers delivered a crushing blow to Indy's playoff hopes with a big comeback.

The Colts can still get in with a win, but they also need a loss from one of the Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns or Miami Dolphins.
