Sam Ehlinger directed two fourth-quarter touchdown drives and Jake Funk's late 4-yard TD run gave the Indianapolis Colts a 24-17 comeback victory over the Chicago Bears on Saturday night.
Neither of the two feature attractions — Bears quarterback Justin Fields or Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson — played. The two coaches — Chicago's Matt Eberflus and Indianapolis' Shane Steichen — also opted against using most key players after the teams held two joint practices this week.
Four days after Steichen named Richardson, the No. 4 overall draft pick, Indy's opening-day starter, Minshew responded by going 13 of 15 with 107 yards and a Ehlinger was 9 of 14 with 124 yards and led the team with 60 yards rushing on eight carries, including a 5-yard scoring run that cut the deficit to 17-13 midway through the fourth quarter. And while he couldn't convert a 2-point conversion pass, he did set up Funk's go-ahead score with a 42-yard completion to James Washington.
Peterman drove Chicago to Indy's 24-yard line in the final minute but was sacked on the game's final play.Colts running back Jonathan Taylor remains on the physically unable to perform list following offseason ankle surgery and is still mired in a contract dispute that includes a trade request. "I respect any time people are, they're trying to fight for their position, for their families and all those things," he said."We're really excited to support him and embrace him because he's a great young man. I know Chris Ballard is going to work hard to try to get the waters as calm as he can.", a promising sign as he tries to return from a dislocated and fractured ankle that derailed his career in 2019.
