JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Colts are on the board in Jacksonville.

Wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught a 1-yard touchdown pass with a defender behind him, punctuating a game-opening 71-yard scoring drive that gave the Colts a 7-0 lead with 6:11 left in the first quarter provided. The Colts were stuffed on three attempts from the 1-yard line before converting for a touchdown.

Backup quarterback Joe Flacco, who started in place of the injured Anthony Richardson, underwent surgery on the drive. He completed all seven of his passes for 75 yards. The Colts opened with a pass-heavy attack, although there was a downpour before the game that left the field wet. Josh Downs had three balls for 43 yards on the drive.
