Jones finished 20 of 29 for 212 yards and moved to 4-1 as a starter this year, exceeding its total victory combined in the last two seasons with the New York giants. Taylor ran 17 times for 66 yards and caught three passes for 20 yards, finishing a streak of nine consecutive games with 95 yards or more scrimmage.
The Colts (4-1) took full advantage of the errors of the Raiders. They converted a blocked clearance, two interceptions and a turnover in TDS in TDS.
Las Vegas (1-4) lost his consecutive room on another productive day for Ashton Jeacty. The rookie had 14 haules for 67 yards and five receptions for 42 yards. Geno Smith was 25 of 36 for 228 yards with the two teams.
After complying with a 24 -yard field goal in a long opening possession, the Raiders never seriously threatened.

Jones responded with a 11 -yard TD pass to Tyler Warren, the first annotation reception of his rookie career, and the colts never reappeared again.
According to Olubi, he blocked an AJ Cole clearance to establish the colts in the 8 -yard lines of the Raiders and four plays later, Taylor scored in a 3 -yard race. Smith gave another time for annotation when Laiastu Latu was collected by the 12 -yard line line. Jones responded with a 4-yard TD pass to Michael Pittman Jr. at the last minute of the first half to put 20-3.
The Colts extended the margin to 40-3 in the third quarter thanks to the Taylor Tay races of 1 and 6 yards and the 2-yard TD race of Ameer Abdullah. The alternate field marshal Anthony Richardson made his debut in the season in the last quarter and completed a pass, for himself for a 9 -yard gain and a first attempt.
Las Vegas could not register a sack for the first time in 40 games, finishing the longest active streak of the league.

Kick settings
Cole suffered a right ankle injury in the blocked clearing and went to the costumes in a car, which forced the kicking Daniel Carlson to handle game tasks. Carlson placed a 30 -yard clearance in his first attempt. A 57 -yard field goal was also lost in the final game of the first half.
Indy lost the kicking Spencer Shrader at the end of the second quarter when Tristin McMcCollum ran into Shrader’s right knee. The colts were for 2 in each of their remaining TD units partly because they would have needed a replacement for the headline Rigoberto Sánchez, the backup kick.

Leonard’s farewell
The three-time supporter All-Pro Shaquille Leonard announced his half-time retirement. He was the 2018 defensive rookie of the NFL, but a recurrent lesion on the back shortened his career. He played for the last time for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023 and is now an assistant coach at a high school in South Carolina.
“I feel that I have found my purpose again,” Leonard said, referring to his new profession. “They have helped me find my love for football again.”
