In a decisive Week 7 matchup, the Indianapolis Colts topped the Los Angeles Chargers with a final score of 22-3. The win was crucial for the Colts as they look to solidify their playoff positioning in the 2028 season, while the Chargers struggle to find their footing in a competitive AFC. Dylan Raiola led the Colts' offense with a solid performance, throwing for one touchdown and managing the game effectively. Jonathan Taylor was a standout on the ground, rushing for 115 yards, while Alec Pierce shined in the receiving game, also accumulating 115 yards. Despite the Chargers' Justin Herbert leading all passers with 238 yards, the lack of scoring proved costly for Los Angeles. Defensively, the Colts were a force to be reckoned with, highlighted by Sauce Gardner's interception that halted any momentum the Chargers tried to build. Amare Barno's 1.5 sacks added pressure to Herbert throughout the game, as the Colts' defense stifled the Chargers' offensive efforts. The turning point came in the second quarter when Gardner's pick led to a touchdown drive, giving Indianapolis a lead they would not relinquish.
