Austin Collie:Career Day wide receiver Austin Collie helped the Indianapolis Colts to overcome some shaky defensive moments in the 27-13 victory over Denver Sunday at Invesco Field at Mile High.
The second year pro caught 12 passes for 171 yards, personal bests, and had two touchdowns as the Colts pulled away from the Broncos in the second half.

48-yard TD pass Lloyd’s early in the third quarter closed Colts’ lead to 13-10.
Despite allowing 505 total yards, the Colts made to tighten with three red zone stops.

Colts also played without starting left decisions Charlie Johnson, who played the previous two weeks with stretching the right leg. Undrafted rookie Jeff Linkenbach started to Johnson.
