Colts take advantage of fumble, lax play to score go-ahead touchdown on wild play
The Jaguars fumbled the ball twice on the same play
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Indianapolis Colts took the lead against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the third quarter on one of the wildest scoop and score touchdowns any NFL fan has ever seen.
With 2:41 left in the period, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence dropped back to pass and was clobbered as he got rid of the football. The ball bounced forward and was picked up and held by running back Tank Bigsby. But as no whistle blew, the Colts recognized it and continued the play.
