Carson Wentz delivers in the fourth quarter to move shorthanded Colts closer to playoffs

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Indianapolis Colts were without their top four offensive linemen. They didn’t have their All-Pro linebacker, either. The Colts also lost their starting tight end on the second offensive snap of the game.

The Colts didn’t play great football at times. But with their playoff hopes still uncertain, they did what was necessary to win by getting clutch throws from quarterback Carson Wentz in the fourth quarter to go on the road and beat the reeling Arizona Cardinals 22-16.

The victory increased the Colts' playoff chances to 95 percent.
