[GAME_RECAP]
Big Dill Sports coming in hot from Lucas Oil, where the Colts outlasted the Cardinals 31-27 in a sneaky thriller. Pre-game buzz said Kyler Murray’s foot had him iffy, so Arizona rolled with Jacoby Brissett, and the veteran came ready to sling — 27/44 for 320 yards and 2 TDs kept the Redbirds humming all day. Meanwhile, it was a reunion on the headsets: Jonathan Gannon and Shane Steichen squaring off for the first time as head coaches after those Philly days — a fun subplot to a fast start in Indy, which entered 4-1 and unbeaten at home.

Indianapolis came out dealing. Daniel Jones carved the opening script and found rookie tight end Tyler Warren to cap a crisp march, then added a bruising keeper before halftime. Arizona’s counterpunch landed after the break: Brissett orchestrated a 75-yard answer, dropping dimes to Trey McBride (8/72/TD) and Zay Jones (5/79), then zipped a score to Greg Dortch to make it 24-17 Cards late in the third. Ballgame on.
Fourth quarter, the vibe flipped. Jones stayed poised, hitting Josh Downs for the equalizer, and after a Cards field goal, Indy leaned on its bell cow. Enter Jonathan Taylor — 21 carries, 123 yards and a go-ahead TD — hammering chunk runs behind a line that found its rhythm. When Arizona threatened at the two-minute mark, the Colts’ D slammed the door: pressure in the red zone, and Kwity Paye knifed through for a drive-stalling sack before Indy salted it away.
Big Dill of the Game: Jonathan Taylor. In a matchup loaded with steady QB play — Jones stacked 3 total TDs — JT was the closer, the tone-setter, and the heartbeat of the final act. That’s a wrap from the Big Dill — where ballin’ is a big dill. Catch you next kickoff!
