The Indianapolis Colts are 2-0 for the first time since 2009 after edging the Denver Broncos 29-28 on a last-second field goal. Daniel Jones and the offense kept the Colts in control for much of the afternoon, while rookie kicker Spencer Shrader sealed the deal in crunch time.
Top Two Takeaways from the Colts’ 29-28 Win Over the Broncos:
1. Daniel Jones and the Offense Are in Full Control
Through two games, the Colts’ offense has been nearly unstoppable — and Sunday was no different. Daniel Jones threw for 316 yards and a touchdown while averaging 9.3 yards per attempt, showing both poise and playmaking ability. Behind a strong offensive line, Jonathan Taylor, and a deep group of receivers, Shane Steichen’s unit dictated the pace even against Denver’s stingy defense, proving their Week 1 explosion was no fluke.
2. Spencer Shrader Is as Clutch as They Come
Indianapolis put its trust in rookie kicker Spencer Shrader this season, and he’s been perfect so far. After going 4-for-4 in Week 1, Shrader went 5-for-5 on Sunday, including the game-winning field goal. Even after a penalty wiped out an early 60-yard attempt, Shrader stayed locked in and delivered the decisive kick to secure the Colts’ first 2-0 start since 2009.
