How It Was Decided
Four lead changes and two fourth-quarter touchdowns inside the final 3:20 separated these two teams. Indianapolis led 20-13 with under nine minutes to go after Spencer Shrader’s second field goal of the day. Stafford answered with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Puka Nacua to tie it, and on the very next Rams possession, one play after the Colts got the ball back, Stafford went deep to Atwell. Cornerback Mekhi Blackmon slipped in coverage, and Atwell turned a broken play into an 88-yard score, the longest touchdown catch of his career and the longest touchdown pass Stafford has thrown across 17 NFL seasons. It was also his second reception of the entire season to that point.
Indianapolis had a chance to answer. Curl intercepted Daniel Jones with 53 seconds remaining, his second pick of the day, and the Rams ran out the clock.
The Colts’ night also turned on a play that never counted. Early in the third quarter, receiver Adonai Mitchell hauled in what looked like a 76-yard touchdown, then lost the ball just before crossing the goal line for a touchback instead of six points.

The Rams outgained Indianapolis by 129 yards and ran 14 more plays, but the turnover margin kept it close into the fourth quarter. Three Colts giveaways against one Rams turnover shaped most of the field position all afternoon.
Los Angeles moved to 3-1 on the season and 2-0 at home with the win. Indianapolis dropped to 3-1, its first loss after opening the year 3-0. Atwell’s touchdown stood as the deciding score, and Curl’s interception on the ensuing Colts drive put the game away for good.
