Chargers play keep away to beat Colts
Print Edition
Philip Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the San Diego Chargers a 19-9 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Monday in San Diego.
Rivers methodically moved the Chargers (3-3) on three scoring drives of at least 74 yards.
Colts receivers dropped several passes, keeping Indianapolis (4-2) from taking a two-game lead over Tennessee in the AFC South.
A week earlier, quarterback Andrew Luck helped rally the Colts to a 34-28 victory against Seattle.
He had no chance against the Bolts because of two long drives in the second quarter that helped contribute to the Chargers dominating the time of possession. The Chargers had the ball for 38 minutes, 31 seconds while the Colts had it 21:29.
Allen got behind safety Delano Howell and cornerback Vontae Davis on a post route for the TD, completing a 12-play, 74-yard march that took 6:14 and gave San Diego a 7-3 lead. It was Allen’s second TD catch of the season.
Novak’s first field goal capped a drive that went 79 yards in 17 plays in 7:58. The drive was kept alive when cornerback Greg Toler was whistled for illegal contact for pushing receiver Lavelle Hawkins out of bounds on third-and-6 from the Chargers 45.
Luck then completed four straight passes to move the Colts into Chargers territory before Coby Fleener dropped a pass at the 25.
Luck scrambled for 6 yards and threw an incompletion before Adam Vinatieri kicked a 50-yard field goal as time expired.
Rivers was 22 of 33 for 237 yards and no interceptions. Luck was 18 of 30 for 202 yards.
