Just when it looked like the New York Jets were on their way to a much-needed victory, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson had other things in mind. 

The Colts pulled off a comeback win, 28-27, capped by Richardson’s second rushing touchdown of the day. 

Jets kicker Anders Carlson drilled a 35-yard field goal with 2:41 left in the fourth quarter to give New York a five-point lead, knowing the Colts had to score a touchdown if they wished to take the win.

With some time on his side, Richardson used his second play of the game-winning drive to find Alec Pierce deep down the right sideline for a 39-yard pickup into Jets’ territory.

Then, on 3rd-and-7 with 13 seconds left, Rodgers was sacked to end the game as the Jets didn’t have any more timeouts.
