Las Vegas Raiders Fall Short as Colts Take the Win 40-6
Jonathan Taylor scored three touchdowns and Daniel Jones threw two TD passes as the Colts capitalized on Raiders' turnovers to win by 34 points.
- Daniel Jones capped a Colts drive on Sunday with an 11-yard touchdown to rookie tight end Tyler Warren, Warren’s first NFL receiving touchdown that gave Indianapolis the lead.
- A string of Raiders miscues prompted the Indianapolis Colts to convert a blocked punt, two interceptions and a turnover on downs into touchdowns, with Segun Olubi’s block knocking out punter A.J. Cole.
- Statistically, Daniel Jones completed 20 of 29 passes for 212 yards while Jonathan Taylor rushed for three touchdowns and converted a 2-point try.
- The final score left Indianapolis routing Las Vegas 40-6, marking a 34-point margin—the Colts' largest since a 2013 37-3 win—and the Raiders' fourth straight loss.
- Looking at implications, the team, which is 4-1 after Week 5, faces tough tests in Weeks 6 and 7, with Jones receiving a $400,000 bonus for four wins and meeting snap requirements, according to Spotrac.
