Colts Defeat Jaguars, Improve To 4-5

Last updated on Monday, November 12, 2018

(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) - The Colts got just enough offense (and a key turnover) to hold off the Jacksonville Jaguars 29-26 to earn their third straight win.

Andrew Luck threw three touchdowns in the first half and finished with 285 yards while tight end Eric Ebron was on the receiving end of two of those touchdown passes and rushed for a third.

The Colts scored all 29 points in the first half and were shut out the final two quarters which allowed Jacksonville to make a game out of it. The Jaguars closed the gap to three but a fumble by wide receiver Rashad Greene at the Colts' 23-yard line with 90 seconds left gave the ball back to Indianapolis to seal the victory.

"We played well enough in the first half to put points on the board," Andrew Luck said. "Then we survived."

Frank Reich was happy to get the win but obviously concerned about putting up back-to-back goose eggs in the second half.

"Offensively we're looking to improve, put that thing away," he said. "But make no mistake about it: This was a huge win for us."

The Colts improve to 4-5 and next host the AFC South's second-place team, the Tennessee Titans.
