The team secured their first victory against the Chargers since 2016.

The Indianapolis Colts delivered a commanding performance, defeating the Los Angeles Chargers 38-24 at SoFi Stadium. With a record of 6-1, the Colts showcased their strength and skill, leaving the Chargers, now 4-3, struggling to keep up. The Colts’ victory was characterized by explosive plays, turnovers, and exceptional play calling. This victory marked the Colts’ first win over the Chargers since 2016, when they were known as the San Diego Chargers.

Many around the league doubted the Colts’ ability to keep up with the Chargers, let alone defeat them, given the narrative that they could only beat weaker teams. However, after the Colts victory on Sunday, their perspective shifted.

The Colts’ offense, led by the dominant performance of running back Jonathan Taylor, had a remarkable day. Taylor scored three rushing touchdowns, marking his third hat trick of the season. He added 16 attempts for 94 rushing yards. Quarterback Daniel Jones also contributed significantly, completing 288 passing yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. Wide receiver Alec Pierce had a standout game, catching 5 passes for 98 receiving yards, including a crucial 48-yard completion on 3rd and 17.

The Colts’ defense made several crucial plays, including two interceptions on Justin Herbert, which helped the team maintain its lead throughout the game. One of Herbert’s interceptions was a result of defensive tackle Grover Stewart tipping a pass and intercepting it. Despite being intercepted twice, Herbert still had a career-high in passing yards with 420 and also added three touchdowns. Veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen contributed with a game-high 11 catches for 119 yards and a touchdown.
