Indianapolis Colts tight end Dwayne Allen spoke to Sky Sports ahead of his side's Thanksgiving clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
At 5-5 the Colts are still in the thick of play-off contention. After a hugely important 24-17 divisional win over the Tennessee Titans, they sit second in the AFC South, a game behind the Houston Texans.
While the Texans host the San Diego Chargers on Sunday, Indianapolis can go top of their division with a win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the last game in our Thanksgiving day triple header, which kicks off on Sky Sports 1 from 5pm.
The Colts will be without starting quarterback Andrew Luck after the highest paid player in the NFL was submitted into concussion protocol. The five-year starter took several hits in the victory over the Titans, and an early game this Thursday leaves him highly unlikely to make the team.
We caught up with Colts tight end Dwayne Allen, who was drafted the same year as Luck, to find out exactly how the team prepares to face the Steelers without Luck, as well as what Thanksgiving day NFL means to him.
Join us for all the Thanksgiving day action on Thursday November 24, live from 5pm, including the Vikings @ Lions on Pick TV.
