Jacksonville Jaguars vs Indianapolis Colts Match Player Stats (Dec 28, 2025)

December 28, 2025 | Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN | Attendance: 66,080 | Broadcast: FOX | Game Duration: 3:05

Trevor Lawrence kept his arm mostly quiet at Lucas Oil Stadium, but his legs gave the Jacksonville Jaguars everything they needed. Two rushing touchdowns from the quarterback, combined with a perfect afternoon from kicker Cam Little — 3-for-3 on field goals, including the go-ahead 42-yarder with 6:58 left — delivered a 23-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on December 28, 2025.

Jacksonville overcame an early 10-0 deficit to win their seventh consecutive game. Lawrence completed 23 of 37 passes for 263 yards without a receiving touchdown, throwing his first interception in five weeks, yet the Jaguars outgained Indianapolis 370 yards to 204 on the afternoon. On the other sideline, 44-year-old Philip Rivers — who had come out of a five-year retirement after Daniel Jones suffered a torn Achilles against Jacksonville earlier in the season — went 17-of-30 for 147 yards, one touchdown and one interception, leaving Lucas Oil Stadium winless in all three of his comeback starts. The Jaguars went on to claim the AFC South title the following week.

Scoring Plays

Passing Stats

Jacksonville Jaguars

*Net passing yards (sack yardage deducted from team total)

Lawrence threw an interception in the final seconds of the first half — his first in five weeks — intercepted by Germaine Pratt in the end zone on a pass intended for Parker Washington. It ended a four-game stretch in which he had posted 275-plus passing yards, two touchdown passes and a passer rating above 100 in each outing.

Indianapolis Colts

*Net passing yards

Rivers’ lone touchdown was a 5-yard connection with tight end Mo Alie-Cox midway through the third quarter — Alie-Cox’s first score of the season — that briefly put Indianapolis back in front 17-14. Leonard replaced Rivers with four seconds remaining for a last-play Hail Mary that Jarrian Jones picked off in the end zone.

Rushing Stats

Jacksonville Jaguars

Etienne’s 76 yards pushed him past the 1,000-yard mark for the third time in his four NFL seasons. Lawrence’s two scoring carries — a 4-yard run in the second quarter and a 6-yard scramble in the third — were the difference in the game.

Indianapolis Colts

Taylor’s 3-yard touchdown run in the second quarter was his 18th rushing score of the season, tying his own single-season Colts franchise record set in 2021 and pushing his total touchdowns past Hall of Fame running back Edgerrin James into fourth place on the franchise’s all-time list at 76. Taylor also crossed 1,500 rushing yards in the 2025 season — only the second time in his career — and surpassed 300 rushing attempts for the third time.

Receiving Stats

Jacksonville Jaguars

Washington led all receivers in the game with 115 yards on 8 catches. Meyers was targeted nine times but also lost a fumble on a trick play in the first quarter — he received a lateral from Lawrence and attempted to pitch the ball to Etienne in stride, but Etienne couldn’t secure it and Samson Ebukam recovered for Indianapolis, setting up a Colts scoring drive.

Indianapolis Colts

Pierce drew a defensive pass interference call on a third-quarter drive that helped set up Alie-Cox’s go-ahead touchdown, but was otherwise held without a reception on five targets. Pittman left briefly with a calf injury in the first quarter and returned, while cornerback Sauce Gardner aggravated his own calf injury in the third quarter and did not come back.

His second, 55 yards in the third quarter, set up the Alie-Cox touchdown that put Indianapolis ahead 17-14 — a lead the Colts held for less than seven minutes.

Officials

The Colts opened the 2025 season at 8-2 before dropping six consecutive games to finish 8-8 — one of the steepest second-half collapses in the NFL since 1970 — and missed the playoffs for the fifth year running. Jacksonville’s seventh straight victory left the Jaguars one win behind the division title they ultimately claimed the following week, closing out the AFC South under first-year head coach Liam Coen.
