In what seemed like the longest game of football ever played, the Indianapolis Colts (2-2-1) came away with a gritty win over the Denver Broncos (2-3) in Week 5.

The Colts defense stepped up all night long and leading the effort was former All-Pro cornerback, Stephon Gilmore. He finished the night with one interception and two passes defended, including the game-winner in overtime.

The veteran defender had two amazing stops in the end zone to prevent a pair of Denver scores. One came late in the fourth quarter when Gilmore picked off Russell Wilson to stop the Broncos from sealing the game.

The second huge play came on the last play of the game when he broke up a pass intended for Courtland Sutton that would have won the game.

The leadership and toughness Gilmore brings to this defense showed Thursday night and it’s easy to see that he still has a lot more left in the tank.

We will see if this close win can propel the Colts forward as they continue what has been a frustrating season.

Here are the Colts’ keys to victory against the Broncos in Week 5.

After a disappointing loss at home to the Tennessee Titans, the Indianapolis Colts (1-2-1) are now looking up in the AFC South and hoping to turn the season around.

However, they don’t have a lot of time to regroup as the team will travel to Denver to take on the Broncos on Thursday night. Combine the road trip with the list of injuries for the Colts, it might be tough sledding for Frank Reich and company.

Denver is also dealing with injuries to key offensive players which should help even the score. This will be a hard-fought battle between two teams desperately hoping to save their 2022 campaigns.

The Indianapolis Colts recently made perhaps the biggest move of its 2022 offseason by signing free-agent cornerback Stephon Gilmore to a two-year deal.

The contract totals $23 million in those two years, with $14 million guaranteed.

Gilmore, 31, lands in Indianapolis as the very likely CB1 for a talented young secondary that has been upgraded for this upcoming season in both starting and depth positions.

Veteran additions such as Gilmore, and recent fellow newcomer Rodney McLeod at safety should bring great leadership, experience and a history of winning into the locker room.
