PLAY OF THE GAME
ALL ALONE

Score: Colts led 10-6.
Situation: The Colts had third-and-3 at the Vikings 30.
The play: Reggie Wayne (87) got behind Vikings linebacker Erin Henderson (50) and caught a TD pass from Andrew Luck (12) before safeties Mistral Raymond (41) and Harrison Smith (22) closed.
The result: The Colts took a 17-5 halftime lead.
NOT IN THE BOX SCORE
Another streak begins
The Vikings failed to force a turnover Sunday and have just one takeaway through two games against a pair of AFC South offenses that are far from established. The Vikings' lone takeaway this season, in the third quarter against Jacksonville, was unforced, a botched snap exchange between center Brad Meester and quarterback Blaine Gabbert. The Vikings' failure to record an interception for the second consecutive game Sunday brings back haunting memories of a year ago, when they went from late in Week 5 until late in Week 16 without a pick.
