It took an extra period, but the Rams (2-2) managed withstand a second-half rally by the Colts thanks to quarterback Matthew Stafford's game-winning, 22-yard touchdown pass to Puka Nacua for a 29-23 overtime win over the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.
With 1:56 remaining, Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson connected with tight end Andrew Ogletree from 5 yards out to cut the Rams' lead to 23-21. Richardson then connected with wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. for the game-tying 2-point conversion.
On the ensuing possession, a 9-yard Matthew Stafford completion on 3rd and 5 to Tyler Higbee was overturned upon further review by officials, forcing the Rams to punt with 1:48 remaining, and giving the Colts the ball back at their own 35. However, the Colts went 3-and-out and were also forced to punt, giving the Rams another chance with 1:09 remaining.
The Rams faced 4th and 1 at their own 48 with 11 seconds remaining after a 9-yard scramble by Stafford, but were forced to punt again because of the field position. With five seconds left after the punt, the Colts took a knee to take the game to overtime.
In overtime, a 20-yard completion from Stafford to Nacua quickly moved the Rams near midfield. At the end of the drive, Stafford completed a 22-yard pass to Nacua for the game-winner.
Running back Kyren Williams finished with 25 carries for 103 yards and two touchdowns for his first 100-yard rushing game of his career, while kicker Brett Maher accounted for the rest of the Rams' points going 3 for 5 on field goal attempts and making all of his extra point attempts.
