Facing a fourth-quarter deficit, Matt Ryan led the Colts on a game-winning drive as Indianapolis rallied past the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Seeing 1-on-1 coverage against Pierce on the outside, Ryan decided to take a shot, and the rookie went up for a remarkable 32-yard touchdown catch, taking the game off of McLaughlin’s foot and essentially eliminating any chance Jacksonville had to come back.
Frustrated all season by his team’s inability to move defenders in the running game and forced to work without superstar Jonathan Taylor or Nyheim Hines for the second consecutive game, Reich minimized the running game significantly, calling just 16 runs in the game. Ryan responded, completing 42 of 58 throws for 357 yards and two touchdowns. More importantly, he did not take a sack and did not turn the ball over, either by fumble or interception, finally pushing Indianapolis past the 20-point mark.
Alternating running backs, Jacksonville ripped through the Indianapolis defense for 248 yards on 32 carries, averaging a remarkable 7.8 yards per carry. The Jaguars had runs of 61 yards and 48 yards.
