Colts Beat Jaguars 26-23 in Overtime

The Indianapolis Colts triumphed over the Jacksonville Jaguars 26-23 in an overtime season finale, ending their season with a record of 8-9. Joe Flacco stepped in as quarterback for the injured Anthony Richardson, completing 23 of 40 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown, while Jonathan Taylor rushed for 177 yards and a touchdown. The game featured several lead changes, with the Colts initially scoring quickly and the Jaguars responding with a touchdown of their own. Both teams exchanged field goals in a tightly contested game, culminating in a decisive 38-yard field goal by Matt Gay in overtime.
