The Giants continue to put it on the Colts but Indianapolis is looking more competitive on offense to open the second half.
Ihmir Smith-Marsette returned the opening kickoff of the third quarter 100 yards for a touchdown that put the Giants up 28-13.
It was the first time the Giants have retuned a kick to open the second half since 1949, according to the Fox broadcast.
But the Colts came right back to score a touchdown on a Jonathan Taylor 26-yard run to make the score 28-20 with 11:03 in the third quarter. That capped a seven-play, 70-yard drive that took just 3:45 off the clock. It was Taylor’s second touchdown of the game and gave him 107 yards rushing on 24 carries.
Additionally, the Fox broadcast noted Sunday was the first time New York also had three different receivers catch a touchdown pass in the first half of a game in franchise history.
