Matthew Stafford connected with Tutu Atwell on an 88-yard touchdown pass with under two minutes remaining as the Los Angeles Rams rallied for a 27-20 victory over the visiting Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at Inglewood, Calif.
Stafford was 29-of-41 passing for 375 yards and three touchdowns, while Puka Nacua had 13 receptions for a career-high 170 yards as the Rams won while benefiting from a massive Colts' blunder.
Nacua and Davante Adams also had touchdown receptions as Los Angeles (3-1) won after blowing a 19-point second-half lead in a loss at Philadelphia in Week 3.
Daniel Jones was 24-of-33 passing for 262 yards and one TD with two interceptions for the Colts (3-1), while Jonathan Taylor had 76 yards rushing on 17 carries. Michael Pittman Jr. had five receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown for Indianapolis.
The Colts' Adonai Mitchell had three receptions for 96 yards but failed to complete a 76-yard catch and run to the end zone in the third quarter when he fumbled the ball untouched at the goal line.
The Rams scored a pair of touchdowns in the final 3:20, getting a 9-yard TD catch from Nacua on fourth-and-2 for a 20-20 tie then winning it on Atwell's TD reception with 1:33 left. Atwell caught Stafford's pass at the Rams' 38-yard line and ran 62 for the score.
The Rams took a 3-0 lead midway through the first quarter on a 42-yard field goal from Joshua Karty, while the Colts tied it on their next possession with a 52-yard kick from Spencer Shrader.
The Colts took a 10-3 lead early in the second quarter on a 2-yard touchdown run from Tyler Warren.
The Rams got within 10-6 in the second quarter on a 37-yard field goal from Karty then closed the first half on a 96-yard TD drive to take a 13-10 lead into the break after Davante Adams' 10-yard TD catch.
Mitchell was about to regain the lead for the Colts but he fumbled at the goal line on his catch and sprint to the end zone.
The Colts took a 17-13 lead on a 2-yard pass from Jones to Pittman early in the fourth quarter. The Rams' Kyren Williams, who ran for 77 yards, fumbled on the ensuing possession and Shrader added a 38-yard field goal for a 20-13 lead with 8:58 remaining.
