That's a wrap | Colts (4-12-1) lost their seventh straight under interim coach Jeff Saturday, assuring themselves of a top-five draft selection. MORE:
INDIANAPOLIS — Davis Mills threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Akins on fourth down with 50 seconds left in Sunday's season finale then connected with Akins on the 2-point conversion to give Houston a 32-31 victory at Indianapolis — costing the Texans the first pick in April's draft.
But it didn't come without some surprises. Sam Ehlinger threw two touchdown passes and led the Indianapolis Colts to scores on three consecutive late drives to erase a 10-point deficit and give Indy a 31-24 lead with 3:33 to play. Indy got one more shot, but couldn't move the ball into scoring position and Ehlinger's final heave was knocked down short of the goal line.
Three plays later, Thomas II, a high school teammate of Bills safety Damar Hamlin, picked off Mills and Ehlinger capitalized by throwing a 4-yard TD pass to Mo Alie-Cox to give Indy a 28-24 lead with 10:30 to go.Again, though the defense failed to close it out.
