INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts have waited four long years for a prime time game.
They’ve waited even longer for a win.
Indianapolis made sure the Lucas Oil Stadium crowd got what it wanted, fighting off any hangover left over from Sunday’s disheartening loss to the Titans by rolling through the hapless New York Jets for a 45-30 win. It gets the Colts back on track heading into their first mini-bye of the season, a 10-day break before the Nov. 14 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Colts (4-5) still have a lot of work to do to get back into the AFC playoff picture, but a loss would have crushed those hopes.
