Jeff Saturday didn’t get a victory in his second game as the Indianapolis Colts interim coach, thanks to mistakes, penalties and missed chances. Still, they gave the NFC East-leading Philadelphia Eagles a good game.
A week after his Colts stopped the Las Vegas Raiders as they tried to score a late, game-winning touchdown, Indianapolis couldn’t get it done against the Eagles (9–1).
After the Colts took a 16–10 lead on a Chase McLaughlin 37-yard field goal with 4:37 left, Jalen Hurts won the game for Philadelphia on a 7-yard touchdown run with 1:20 left as the Eagles won 17–16 on Sunday.
“That’s a tough one,” Saturday said after his home debut. “We had everything in front of us but didn’t execute enough to get the win. Disappointing loss, obviously. Just too many mistakes. Too many penalties, too many negative plays and missing kicks. You just can’t play a team that good and give them that many opportunities. We just left them in the game, and they ultimately made one more play than we did.”
Indianapolis (4–6–1) never trailed until Hurts’ late score.
Linebacker Robert Quinn played only 10 defensive snaps off the bench for the Eagles and had no statistics.
Mack Hollins had six catches for 52 yards in the Las Vegas Raiders’ 22–16 overtime road victory over Denver. He went viral after Davante Adams’ 35-yard touchdown reception in overtime won the game by waving at Broncos players and saying, “Bye, bitch.”
He also went viral earlier in the game for celebrating a 31-yard Adams touchdown reception in the second quarter while the pass was still in the air.
Hollins played all 66 offensive snaps, one defensive snap and two special-teams snaps.
Running back Michael Carter rushed for 19 yards on eight carries in the New York Jets’ 10–3 loss at New England.
In Washington’s 23–10 win at Houston, wide receiver Dyami Brown played off the bench with no statistics in nine total snaps. Linebacker Cole Holcomb missed his fourth consecutive game with a foot injury and quarterback Sam Howell didn’t play.
Safety M.J. Stewart Jr. had two tackles, one assist and two special-teams tackles for the Texans in 39 total snaps, and offensive lineman Charlie Heck played two special-teams snaps.
Jalen Dalton had one assist for Atlanta playing 40 total snaps in a 27–24 win at Chicago to move Coach Arthur Smith’s Falcons a half-game out of first place in the NFC South at 5–6.
In the New York Giants’ 31–18 home loss to Detroit, linebacker Tomon Fox had one tackle in 39 total snaps and offensive lineman Joshua Ezeudu played 39 total snaps off the bench.
New Orleans Saints tackle James Hurst missed their 27–20 home win over the Los Angeles Rams with a concussion suffered in the third quarter last weekend.
Mitchell Trubisky didn’t play for Pittsburgh for the fourth consecutive game, this time in a 37–30 home loss to Cincinnati.
