The Colts earned their first win of the 2015 preseason on Saturday night. Thanks to a solid dress rehearsal for the Colts starters, Indianapolis took a 24-14 victory over the Rams home with them.
Kitchener, Ontario native Tyler Varga scored a touchdown in the game, hoping to help his cause to make the final team roster. Ā Varga finished the game with one tackle, three receptions for 19 yards, two kick returns for 54 yards, and nine carries for 32 yards including the touchdown.
The Colts preseason finale will come on Thursday against the Bengals, in a home kickoff at 7:00 p.m. EST.
Roster cuts from 90 to 75 players are due by Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. EST.
