INDIANAPOLIS -- Reserve linebacker Tyjuan Hagler returned an onside kick 41 yards for a touchdown with just under two minutes remaining, clinching a 34-24 victory for the Indianapolis Colts over the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday afternoon.The victory not only kept the Colts alive in the race for the AFC South title, it means they can clinch a seventh division title in nine years with victories in the last two games.
Colts quarterback Peyton Manning completed 29 of 39 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns, each of went to wide receiver Austin Collie in the first half.
The Jaguars (8-6) cut the lead to three points with a one-yard touchdown pass from quarterback David Garrard to wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker with 1:54 remaining. That made it 27-24, Colts.
But Hagler recovered the ensuing onside kick and scored untouched to clinch the victory for the Colts (8-6), who have won their last two games.
Some thoughts on the game:
o. The Jaguars never have beaten the Colts losing the turnover battle. Jacksonville was 0-2 in the area on Sunday, with the Colts recovering a fumbled punt and intercepting a pass. Indianapolis turned those turnovers into two second-half field goals by Adam Vinatieri.
