The Jeff Saturday era begins with a win.
Buy Colts TicketsThe Indianapolis Colts (4-5-1) delivered a gutsy 25-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders (2-7) on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.
Saturday made a surprise switch at quarterback, with Matt Ryan getting the nod. It led to one of the best offensive performances of the season.
The defense showed up when they needed to, especially on the final play of the game when Stephon Gilmore proved again why they call him Gilly Lock.
Here’s everything we know from the wild 25-20 win in Week 10:

With 52 seconds remaining, the Raiders faced a fourth-and-seven at the Colts’ 16-yard line. Derek Carr tossed a fade to Davante Adams, but Stephon Gilmore was there to break up the pass in the end zone to secure the win.
