The Indianapolis Colts staged a thrilling comeback to defeat the Arizona Cardinals 31-27 in a game that had fans on the edge of their seats! But did the Cardinals have a legitimate argument for a missed call?
On October 12, 2025, the Colts' quarterback, Daniel Jones, showcased his prowess with two touchdown passes. However, it was running back Jonathan Taylor who stole the show with a 1-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter, securing the win. Jones completed 22 of his 30 passes for 212 yards, demonstrating his accuracy and ability to move the chains.
The Colts' victory wasn't without a fight from the Cardinals. Jacoby Brissett, stepping in for an injured Kyler Murray, had a solid performance, connecting on 27 of 44 passes for 320 yards and two touchdowns. But here's where it gets controversial: with just over a minute left, the Cardinals had a chance to tie the game, but the Colts' defense held strong, forcing a turnover on downs. Trey McBride, the Cardinals' tight end, claimed he was held in the end zone, but the officials disagreed, sparking debate among fans and analysts.
The game was filled with momentum shifts and dramatic moments. After the Cardinals took a 17-14 lead, the Colts responded with a field goal and a touchdown pass from Brissett to Greg Dortch, taking the lead. But the Cardinals weren't done; they tied the game early in the fourth quarter. Then, Taylor's heroics sealed the deal for the Colts.
Injury woes plagued both teams. The Cardinals' star quarterback, Kyler Murray, missed the game due to a foot injury, while receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. suffered a concussion after a hard hit. The Colts also had their share of injuries, losing two cornerbacks and a backup quarterback before the game even started.
As the Colts celebrate their victory and the Cardinals lick their wounds, one question lingers: Was the non-call on the potential holding penalty the right decision? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and let's ignite a respectful debate on this controversial moment!
