David Garrard passed well against the tough secondary of the Colts, going 28-for-41 with 329 yards, one touchdown and a costly interception.
With less than five minutes left in regulation, Keiwan Ratliff intercepted Garrard and returned it 35 yards to score the game-winning touchdown.
Maurice Jones-Drew rushed twenty times for 91 yards and tallied seven receptions for 71 yards in the loss.
The Colts' running game was almost nonexistent -- they tallied 32 yards on eighteen carries -- but they still recorded their eighth straight victory. [READ] |
