Gardner Minshew throws dime to Alec Pierce for 58-yard TD

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts went with a short-yardage lineup on their longest-yardage play of the game.

Quarterback Gardner Minshew hit receiver Alec Pierce for a 58-yard touchdown with 3:53 left in the second quarter, giving the Colts a 14-3 lead over the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Colts were facing a third-and-1 from their own 42-yard line and brought in a heavy personnel grouping. Top receiver Michael Pittman Jr. went to the sideline, leaving two tight ends and an eligible tackle in the game. Pierce was the lone wide receiver.
