For all of the team's offensive struggles, the Detroit Lions still had a reasonable shot at a comeback when the fourth quarter began on Sunday. Down just six points, and the Indianapolis Colts facing third-and-14 to open the frame, the Lions were on the cusp of getting the ball back with an opportunity to regain the lead.
Instead of trying a short throw to get into field goal range, the Colts went for it all. Quarterback Philip Rivers stepped up in the pocket and heaved a deep ball toward the end zone for wide receiver Ashton Dulin.
Cornerback Justin Coleman, in his first game back since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 1, was a step behind in coverage, but the ball was under-thrown, leading to a collision near the goal line and ultimately a flag for pass interference.
