INDIANAPOLIS -- Jacoby Brissett played the best game of his Indianapolis career, leading the Colts to a 27-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. It snapped a five-year losing streak in home openers for the Colts.

Brissett threw for 310 yards and a pair of touchdowns, leading the Colts (2-1) on five scoring drives Sunday, including four in a dominant first half.

Though he was slowed down most of the game, Marlon Mack put the game out of reach with an exceptional effort that included a pair of stiff arms dealt to Falcons defenders before he found the end zone on a four-yard run in the fourth quarter.
