INDIANAPOLIS — With less than a minute left in the game, Andrew Luck took one peek at the Giants’ defense and changed the call.
Instead of trying to force the run Coach Frank Reich had called, Luck asked T.Y. Hilton to run upfield with the defenders and had Chester Rogers slide underneath into the flat. It worked brilliantly.
Rogers’s 1-yard touchdown reception with 55 seconds left gave the Colts their first lead of the day in a 28-27 victory over the Giants that gave Indianapolis a shot to end a three-year playoff drought next week.
