First Quarter


The opening quarter set the tone for the game as Jonathan Taylor showcased his rushing prowess early on. Taylor's ability to find gaps in the Raiders' defense was evident as he secured an impressive touchdown run, marking his first of three for the day. The Horseshoe's defense also made its presence felt, stifling any offensive attempts by the Silver and Black.


Second Quarter


As the second quarter unfolded, Daniel Jones took charge under center for Indianapolis. His precise passing led to two touchdowns, one of which was caught by Michael Pittman Jr., further extending their lead. Meanwhile, DeForest Buckner anchored a formidable defensive line that consistently pressured Las Vegas' quarterback and limited their scoring opportunities.


Third Quarter


In this period, Jonathan Taylor continued his dominant performance with another touchdown run that left fans in awe. The Colts' defense remained relentless; Zaire Franklin contributed significantly with crucial tackles and a sack that halted any momentum from Las Vegas.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw Indianapolis maintaining control over both sides of play. Samson Ebukam added another sack to his tally while Rigoberto Sanchez executed strategic punts pinning back Raider advances effectively. Ameer Abdullah capped off scoring efforts with a short-yardage touchdown run sealing victory emphatically.
