Recap

The Indianapolis Colts had a 36.2% win probability with 1:43 left, then found the throw and the kick that decided a 19-17 victory over the Houston Texans at Lucas Oil Stadium. A 20-yard Daniel Jones completion moved Indianapolis into position for a 53-yard field goal with 0:16 remaining, turning a 67.3% Colts chance before the kick into 99.8% afterward.

Houston had just taken its first and only lead, 17-16, on a 1-yard rushing touchdown with 1:48 to play. The Colts answered in six plays and 1:32, and the final possession was defined by Jones’ deep-middle completion to the Houston 45 before the winning kick.
