• After falling behind 24-9 in the third quarter, the Colts rallied to score 15 consecutive points to bring the game into overtime. The Colts finished with 203 rushing yards, which is the most for the team dating back to Oct. 28, 2018 at Oakland. The Colts also totaled 376 total net yards, converted 54 percent on third downs, committed only three penalties and did not turn the ball over.

Colts Offense

• Quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 21-of-27 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns for a 120.7 passer rating. He also added three carries for nine yards.

• Brissett's 77.8 completion percentage and 120.7 passer rating are the second-best totals of his career in a single game.

• His two touchdown passes also tie a single-game career-high and are the most since Nov. 12, 2017 vs. Pittsburgh.

• Running back Marlon Mack led the team in rushing with 25 carries for a career-high 174 yards. He also added a 63-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and the game-tying two-point conversion to take the game into overtime.

• Mack's 174 rushing yards are the ninth-highest total for a single game in franchise history since 1960, and the most since Edgerrin James rushed for 204 yards against the Chicago Bears on Nov. 21, 2004

• In addition to a career-high in rushing, Mack's 63-yard touchdown run was the longest of his career. It was his fifth career 100-yard rushing performance.

• Mack rushed for 124 yards in the third quarter, which is the highest rushing total for a member of the Colts in the third quarter of a game dating back to at least 2004 (Edgerrin James, 94 vs. Chicago on Nov. 21).

• Wide receiver T.Y. Hilton led the team with eight receptions for 87 yards and two touchdowns.

• Hilton scored the team's first touchdown of the season on a four-yard pass from Jacoby Brissett in the first quarter. He connected with Brissett again in the fourth quarter on a 19-yard score which ultimately led to the game-tying two-point conversion.

• With his first catch of the game, Hilton extended his streak of consecutive games with at least one reception to 63, which passed Jessie Hester (62) for the fifth-longest streak in team history.

• With his two receiving touchdowns, Hilton passed Jim Mutscheller (40) for the seventh-most in franchise history.
