Sunday Night Football live stream [NBC start time tonight]: Watch Denver Broncos vs Colts online

NFL Sunday Night Football is back, and in a massive season opener the Indianapolis Colts will play the Denver Broncos at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado.

Today's Sunday Night Football game between the Colts and Broncos will start at 8.30 p.m. EST and can be watched on NBC, or watched online through live stream – free for subscribers – via the link provided below.

The Broncos will be hoping to get as good a start as last season; they rushed ahead to a 6-0 record, scoring 41 points or more in every one of those opening games. However, they will remember in their 7th game they came up against an inspired Colts team, who gained a spectacular 39-33 win.

In that game they couldn't block Indianapolis' Robert Mathis, who forced two sacks and a forced fumble. However, Mathis is out for the first four games for the Colts this term; he has been suspended after violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

Many expect Peyton Manning to come out with all guns blazing this year. After the heartache of last season's Super Bowl loss, and especially the manner of that loss, he will want to set the record straight this season. Time is running out on his career and he will want another Super Bowl ring, and not many would write him off.
