INDIANAPOLIS -- Chandler Harnish threw a 42-yard touchdown pass to tight end Dominique Jones, leading the Indianapolis Colts to a 20-16 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Thursday night's preseason finale.
What we learned Thursday
Week 4 of the preseason isn't the most exciting time on the NFL calendar, but there was still plenty to take out of the 13 games on Thursday's schedule. Dan Hanzus breaks it all down. **More ...**
Neither starting quarterback stuck around long. No. 1 draft pick Andrew Luck left after the Colts' first series.
Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton left with a bruised right arm after just six plays. Coach Marvin Lewis later said Dalton would have returned had it been a regular season game.
That left the heavy-lifting to the backups -- and the officials, who called 24 penalties.
Behind Harnish, the last selection in this year's draft, Indy (2-2) rallied from a 10-0 deficit to take a 14-13 halftime lead.
The Bengals (2-2) regained the lead on a third-quarter field goal, but Harnish threw for the winning score with 6:54 to play.
