Colts secure narrow win over Bears with 3 rushing TDs

On Sunday, the Indianapolis Colts secured a narrow victory over the Chicago Bears with a final score of 21-16. Jonathan Taylor was a standout performer, contributing two rushing touchdowns, while Trey Sermon added another. The Colts improved their record to 1-2, avoiding an 0-3 start for the first time since 2021. Anthony Richardson, despite completing 10 of 20 passes for 167 yards, struggled with two interceptions, reflecting the challenges faced by both teams' offenses. The Bears, also at 1-2, experienced their second consecutive loss, despite showing some offensive improvement with two touchdowns, which was one more than their total in the first two weeks. Their rookie quarterback, who was the first overall draft pick, had a productive day with 363 passing yards and two touchdown passes, marking a significant milestone in his early career. However, he also faced difficulties, including being sacked four times and throwing two interceptions. The game was characterized by a lack of offensive rhythm, with both teams combining for only 71 total yards in the first quarter and committing five turnovers throughout the match. The Colts managed to maintain a slim lead, scoring a crucial touchdown late in the third quarter and another in the fourth to keep the Bears at bay. In the final moments, the Bears attempted to close the gap with a touchdown pass, but the Colts effectively ran out the clock, securing their victory. The Colts will now prepare to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in their next matchup, looking to build on this hard-fought win.
