The Indianapolis Colts secured a hard-fought victory against Arizona Cardinals (2-4), pushing their season record to an impressive 5-1. The game took a dramatic turn when Jonathan Taylor scored a go-ahead touchdown, giving the Colts a commanding 31-27 lead. With the game hanging in the balance, the Colts found themselves in a critical moment, needing a defensive stand to secure the win. They successfully stopped the Cardinals’ advance on fourth and seven, ultimately clinching their victory. This was the Cardinals’ fourth straight loss in a one-score game.

The Colts’ offense, led by quarterback Daniel Jones, scored 31 points. This added to the team’s season total to 194 points through six weeks, the most by a Colts team since moving to Indianapolis in 1984. Daniel Jones had another strong performance, completing 22 of 30 passes for 212 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. Jonathan Taylor added 123 yards and a touchdown.

Starting in the place of Kyler Murray, Jacoby Brissett did not disappoint; he completed 27 of 44 passes for 320 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. Trey McBride added 8 catches for 72 yards and a touchdown.

An intriguing story to begin the game was reported that Colts backup quarterback Anthony Richardson sustained an eye injury, and Charvarius Ward suffered a concussion. Both injuries occurred during warm-ups.
