The Indianapolis Colts secured a 30-13 victory over the Washington Commanders during the NFL's international series game in London. The game was marked by significant injury challenges for the Commanders, who entered the contest already missing their starting quarterback. The situation worsened for Washington during the game when their replacement quarterback was also forced to leave the field due to injury.

Jonathan Taylor served as the primary offensive engine for the Colts, recording two touchdowns throughout the game. While the Commanders' defense managed to pressure the Colts at various points, they were ultimately unable to compensate for the loss of their quarterbacks and the resulting offensive stagnation. The game, which serves as part of the NFL's ongoing efforts to expand its brand in the United Kingdom, saw the Colts capitalize on Washington's personnel struggles to pull away in the second half. The final score reflected the Colts' ability to maintain offensive consistency, while the Commanders struggled to sustain drives without a stable presence at the quarterback position.
