The Indianapolis Colts pulled off a dramatic 30–27 overtime victory against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin, sealing one of the most thrilling finishes of the 2025 NFL International Series.
In a game that had everything - turnovers, explosive plays, and a comeback for the ages - quarterback Anthony Richardson led the Colts from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to snatch victory in front of a raucous European crowd at Olympiastadion.
“We just kept believing,” Richardson said after the win. “Coach told us to fight for every yard, and that’s what we did.”
How It Happened
The Falcons seemed in control for much of the game behind Desmond Ridder, who threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns, including a beautiful 40-yard strike to Drake London early in the third quarter. Atlanta’s defense also limited the Colts to field goals through much of the first half, heading into the break up 17–9.
But Indianapolis refused to fold. Richardson engineered a 10-play, 85-yard drive in the fourth quarter, capped by a Jonathan Taylor touchdown run that cut the deficit to 24–20.
Moments later, Zaire Franklin forced a fumble that flipped momentum entirely. Richardson capitalized with a precision pass to Michael Pittman Jr. in the back corner of the end zone, giving the Colts their first lead at 27–24.
