The Indianapolis Colts are trying to get back on track against the Dallas Cowboys after losing their past four games. They went three-and-out on the first drive, but were able to get a touchdown on their second drive to take a 7-3 lead.

Rookie running back Seth McGowan was responsible for the score. It was the first touchdown of his NFL career. His touchdown was set up by a strip-sack from Laiatu Latu, which was recovered by Caden Curry.

This was just the Colts' fifth takeaway of the season, but they now have takeaways in back-to-back games.

The turnover set the Colts' offense up with a short field, which they were able to take advantage of with the touchdown. However, outside of that possession, there's been little success for the Indianapolis offense in this game, particularly in the pass game.
