What happened when the Commanders last played the Colts?
The last time the Commanders played Colts was memorable, as it featured Terry McLaurin and Taylor Heinicke.
During their most recent matchup, the Washington Commanders and Indianapolis Colts faced off at Lucas Oil Stadium on October 30, 2022. Washington trailed 9-7 in the fourth quarter, with 12:30 remaining, before quarterback Taylor Heinicke's questionable decision led to a crucial interception by Colts cornerback Stephon Gilmore. This interception set the stage for Washington to mount a comeback.
With 39 seconds left and the Commanders at the Indianapolis 34-yard line, Heinicke attempted a seemingly desperation Hail Mary pass. Terry McLaurin, seemingly out of position, caught the ball and, after a challenging fight through the Colts' defense, completed the game-winning touchdown run from the 2-yard line. Heinicke then ran a quarterback sneak to secure the tie with 22 seconds remaining, giving the Commanders a 17-16 lead.
In the end, Washington's defense, led by Jonathan Allen with his nine solo tackles, two tackles for a loss, and a quarterback sack, played a significant role in securing the victory. The Commanders' receivers, notably Terry McLaurin with 113 receiving yards, and running back Antonio Gibson with 58 receiving yards, were instrumental in the win. Quarterback Heinicke completed 23 of 31 passes for 279 yards, including a game-sealing touchdown pass to Gibson, contributing 279 yards of offense to the Commanders' triumph.
