Colts rush for 3 TDs as struggling defense slows Bears offense for a 21-16 victory

Associated Press  

INDIANAPOLIS — Jonathan Taylor used his sheer strength — and a nimble cut — to give the Indianapolis Colts the jump-start they needed Sunday. Taylor scored twice and topped the 100-yard mark for the second straight week and Richardson helped Trey Sermon get across the goal line as the Colts held on for a 21-16 victory over the Chicago Bears. On a day Richardson struggled again, the Colts’ much maligned defense managed to limit Chicago to just 63 yards rushing, forced three turnovers, sacked rookie Caleb Williams four times and made a crucial goal-line stand late in the first half. We’ll look ahead and each guy needs to ask himself how he can get better execution-wise to start getting victories.” Odunze, taken eight picks after Williams, finished with six catches and a season-high 112 yards. Close call Williams nearly got his first TD pass on the final play of the first half when his heave to the end zone was batted by Colts cornerback Jaylon Jones.
