The highest-scoring offense in the NFL just keeps rolling. The Colts lead the Chargers 23-3 at halftime of a showdown between the top two teams in the AFC standings.<\/p>\n
The Colts wasted no time taking the lead, breezing to the end zone on a five-play, 75-yard drive to open the game. Jonathan Taylor, who entered this week with an NFL-leading seven rushing touchdowns, went 23 yards basically untouched for the score.<\/p>\n
After a Chargers field goal, the Colts were much more methodical — 17 plays, including three fourth-down conversions, and 70 yards — but the end result was the same. Daniel Jones pulled an RPO, rolled right until the last moment and then tossed the ball to Michael Pittman Jr. for a touchdown.<\/p>\n
It was just the second drive this season across the NFL in which a team converted three fourth downs. It was also the Colts’ longest drive (by plays) this season.<\/p>\n
The Colts made it three touchdowns in three drives when Jones found Tyler Warren on a 5-yard strike over the middle.<\/p>\n
The Colts were in position for a late-half response, but Justin Herbert threw behind Quentin Johnston, and Nick Cross picked it off. Jones led a terrific end-of-half drive, and Michael Badgely connected from 36 yards as time expired.<\/p>\n
Stay tuned right here to see if the Chargers can make a second-half comeback or if the Colts can get to 6-1 and increase their lead atop the AFC!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The highest-scoring offense in the NFL just keeps rolling.
