Insider: Rookies, run game, defense carry Colts in 28-11 blowout of Vikings

That is how the Indianapolis Colts were meant to look. After a mistaken-laden loss in Jacksonville, a run-first offense and an opportunistic defense showed up Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium in a 28-11 win against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Colts (1-1) dominated Sunday's game in all three phases. Of offense, led by Jonathan Taylor (101 yards on 26 attempts) the Colts rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown behind a solid effort from the offensive line. And in a career day, Mo Alie-Cox, the third string tight end filling in for the injured Jack Doyle and Trey Burton, hauled in five passes for 111 yards.
