Best photos from Colts Week 3 win over Bears

In what was essentially a must-win game for the Colts, given what recent history tells us about a team’s playoff chances after an 0-3 start, Indianapolis improved to 1-2 on the year following a win over Chicago.

It wasn’t always pretty along the way, but the Colts’ run defense was much-improved, which made moving the ball consistently for the Bears offense a struggle for much of the game.

Meanwhile, on offense, the Colts went back to their running game, leaning heavily on Jonathan Taylor and getting Anthony Richardson involved on designed runs.
