The Indianapolis Colts got their preseason off to a winning start Sunday with a 21-18 win over the Carolina Panthers at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Rookie quarterback Sam Ehlinger led the Colts back from an eight-point deficit in the fourth quarter, and Indy broke the tie on a 30-yard field goal by Eddy Pineiro with seven seconds remaining to secure the win.
With starting quarterback Sam Darnold sitting for the Panthers, former XFL standout P.J. Walker got the start under center and played a central role in rookie wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr., running back Chuba Hubbard and tight end Tommy Tremble performing well.
