Denver Broncos 9-12 Indianapolis Colts

Chase McLaughlin kicked four field goals, including a 48-yarder in overtime, as the visiting Indianapolis Colts beat the Denver Broncos 12-9 in a drab affair on Thursday night.

Matt Ryan was 26-for-41 passing for 251 yards and two interceptions, and Alec Pierce had eight catches for 81 yards for Indianapolis, who never led until overtime.

Russell Wilson was 21-for-39 passing for 274 yards and two interceptions, and Brandon McManus kicked three field goals for the Broncos.

Both teams lost several players to injury throughout the game. Colts running back Nyheim Hines suffered a concussion three plays into the contest when he caught a pass and collided with two Broncos defenders.

Hines, who started for the injured Jonathan Taylor, was ruled out late in the first quarter.

Indianapolis got the ball first in overtime and drove to the Broncos 30 before McLaughlin gave the Colts the lead with just under six minutes left.

Denver had a fourth-and-one at the Indianapolis five-yard line on the ensuing possession, but Wilson's pass was knocked down in the end zone to end the game.
