Anthony Richardson threw a first-quarter touchdown pass and the Indianapolis reserves scored 17 fourth-quarter points in the Colts’ 27-14 win over the Bengals in Cincinnati to wrap up the preseason for both teams.
Richardson led the Colts (2-1) down the field 80 yards on his first series, hitting Adonai Mitchell with a 9-yard scoring pass. But the second-year quarterback, who is coming back from a shoulder injury that ended his rookie season after five games, struggled the rest of the way against the Bengals. He completed 8 of 14 passes for 86 yards and also threw an interception that Jordan Battle returned 14 yards for a touchdown.
Demetric Felton rattled off a 40-yard TD run with 1:41 left in the game to cap a fourth quarter that also saw the Colts get a 1-yard TD from Jason Bean and a 41-yard field goal from Spencer Shrader.
Logan Woodside hit 16 of 21 passes for 98 yards and a 21-yard touchdown to Jermaine Burton for the Bengals (0-3).
Bears 34, Chiefs 21
Velus Jones Jr. ran for 111 yards and a touchdown as Chicago easily handled Kansas City in a preseason battle of backups.
The Bears (4-0) led 34-7 after Jones scored on a 39-yard run at the end of the third quarter. Tyson Bagent and Carson Steele each had short TD runs, and Reddy Steward returned an interception 48 yards for a score. Chicago safety Douglas Coleman III was taken off the field in an ambulance after he was hurt making a tackle on the first play of the second half.
Ian Book threw two fourth-quarter TD passes for the Chiefs (0-3).
