Minutes after Lacey's interception, starting cornerback Kelvin Hayden got one of his own. After failing to convert on third down inside the Colts' red zone, the Rams elected to go for it on fourth down. But Bulger's end zone attempt was intercepted by Hayden and returned to the seven. **

For the second straight defensive drive, the Colts forced the Rams three-and-out. On second down, Freeney sacked quarterback Marc Bulger for a loss of nine, pushing St. Louis back to their 2. Freeney has now registered a sack in seven consecutive games.**

FIRST QUARTER (5:26 remaining)

FIRST QUARTER (8:50 remaining)**

A bye week did not do much to slow down the Colts offense. On their first drive of the game, the Colts went 90 yards for their first score – a six-yard touchdown to wide receiver Reggie Wayne, who caught four balls on the drive for 61 yards.  COLTS 7, RAMS 0
