Taylor, Minshew help Colts stay in AFC playoff chase with 23-20 victory over Raiders
Associated PressINDIANAPOLIS — Jonathan Taylor and Gardner Minshew spent all week talking about the need to take advantage of this week’s big opportunity. Taylor ran for a season-high 96 yards and one score, Minshew fooled the Las Vegas defense with a 58-yard TD pass on third-and-1, and the Indianapolis Colts used two late defensive penalties to put away the Raiders 23-20 — and on the precipice of their first playoff berth since 2020. But Indy added three second-half field goals from Matt Gay, the final one set up by two penalties against Jack Jones — a pass interference call on third down and an offside call that negated Gay’s kick that bounced off the right upright. He needs two receptions for the fifth 100-catch, 1,000-yard season of his career.. Zamir White had 20 carries for 71 yards.. Pierce became the third interim coach involved in this series since 2021. Colts: Michael Pittman Jr. had five catches for 46 yards, giving him a career-high 104 receptions this season.. LB Zaire Franklin’s 10 tackles put him at 172, breaking the single-season franchise record he set last season..
