Ravens vs. Colts 2014 live stream: Time, TV schedule and how to watch online

Two teams tied together by Baltimore roots and the Irsay family meet in Indianapolis for an important AFC showdown. The Indianapolis Colts, former Maryland residents, welcome their replacements, the Baltimore Ravens, into Lucas Oil Stadium this Sunday.

Baltimore is off to an impressive start, winning its last three games by a combined 87-37. Though the team is without former lead tailback Ray Rice, the corps of Justin Forsett, Bernard Pierce and Lorenzo Taliaferro has performed more than adequately in his absence. More importantly, the offensive line has improved dramatically since last season.

Indianapolis stumbled out of the gate this season, dropping its first two games to the Denver Broncos and Philadelphia Eagles in disappointing fashion. The team rebounded against the woeful Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans, but has yet to register a "statement" win this season.

After a lackluster 2013 campaign, quarterback Joe Flacco is off to a better 2014. He's completing 63.4 percent of his passes, the highest mark of his career, and has a favorable 7:2 touchdown to interception ratio. Steve Smith joined the team this summer and has gotten off to a fantastic start, leading the conference in yards at 35 years old.

Andrew Luck is off to a historic start as measured by certain volume statistics. The third-year quarterback is on pace for 5,220 passing yards and 52 touchdowns, both of which are potential franchise records. Behind him, Ahmad Bradshaw has become a jack-of-all-trades, rushing for 182 yards and catching the ball for 134 more. Top back Trent Richardson has struggled comparatively, trailing Bradshaw by more than two yards a carry and fumbling twice.
