Colts Win 29-28 Over Broncos on Shrader Last-Second FG

Spencer Shrader was the hero for the Indianapolis Colts in their 29-28 comeback victory over the Denver Broncos, making all five of his field-goal attempts including a game-winning 45-yard kick as time expired. After initially missing a 60-yard field goal, a penalty on the Broncos for using leverage moved the ball 15 yards closer, giving Shrader a second chance which he capitalized on by resetting his focus and nailing the kick. Shrader contributed 17 of the Colts' 29 points, also converting both extra-point attempts, and has now made all nine field goals and five extra points this season. The Colts relied on a conservative final drive, featuring mainly running plays by Jonathan Taylor, to position Shrader for the winning kick. Coach Shane Steichen and the team celebrated the dramatic victory, marking their first 2-0 start since 2009. The win showcased Shrader's composure under pressure and importance to the Colts' early season success.
