Rams Hand Colts First Loss on Stafford-to-Atwell 88-Yard Strike, 27–20

Self‑inflicted errors turned a strong start into Indianapolis’ first stumble.

Overview

  • With 1:33 remaining, Matthew Stafford hit Tutu Atwell for an 88-yard go-ahead touchdown after replays showed Indianapolis had only 10 defenders on the field.
  • Colts receiver Adonai Mitchell fumbled a would-be 76-yard touchdown out of the end zone for a touchback and later drew a holding flag that wiped out Jonathan Taylor’s 53-yard score.
  • Rams safety Kamren Curl intercepted Daniel Jones on the first series and again with 53 seconds left to seal it; Jones finished 24-of-33 for 262 yards and one TD.
  • Stafford threw for 375 yards and three scores, with Puka Nacua posting 13 catches for 170 yards and a fourth-and-2 touchdown; Davante Adams added a late-first-half TD.
  • Los Angeles moved to 3-1 while Indianapolis fell to 3-1 after 11 penalties and four punts; Mitchell accepted responsibility postgame, and the teams turn to Week 5 (49ers at Rams on Thursday, Raiders at Colts on Sunday).
