The Indianapolis Colts are a surprising 2-0 team to start the 2025 NFL season, but that record wouldn’t be possible without an unusual play that went their way after the clock hit zero in the fourth quarter.

The Denver Broncos appeared to secure a road win when Spencer Shrader’s 60-yard field-goal attempt came up short and wide right. Denver led 28-26 and, despite failing to score in the fourth quarter, began celebrating what looked like a victory.

But officials threw a flag, calling a leverage penalty on the Broncos. It is illegal to use a teammate on the kicking line to elevate oneself and attempt to block a kick, which is what Denver was penalized for.

That gave the Colts an untimed down despite the clock expiring. Shrader moved 15 yards closer, and from 45 yards out drilled the kick through the uprights as Lucas Oil Stadium erupted in celebration of an improbable 29-28 win.

The victory wasn’t just about the final play. Denver also made critical mistakes throughout, including kicker Wil Lutz clanking a 42-yard attempt off the right upright on the previous drive that would have extended the lead.

DANIEL JONES RUSHES FOR 2 TOUCHDOWNS IN DOMINANT COLTS DEBUT AGAINST DOLPHINS

Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, who went 22-of-30 for 206 yards and three touchdowns, also threw a costly interception in Colts territory early in the fourth quarter, taking points off the board.

Meanwhile, Colts quarterback Daniel Jones continued his hot start to the season with another efficient outing. He finished 23-of-34 for 316 yards and a touchdown, adding another score on a quarterback sneak.

That followed his Week 1 performance against Miami, where he rushed for two touchdowns and threw for one in a 33-8 win.

Tight end Tyler Warren led Indianapolis with 79 receiving yards on four catches, while Alec Pierce added four receptions for 68 yards. Jonathan Taylor powered the ground game with 165 rushing yards and caught two passes, including Jones’ touchdown throw in the second quarter.

There may be some tension between head coach Liam Coen and star quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ locker room.

During the Jaguars’ 31-27 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, Lawrence was seen waving off Coen after throwing an inaccurate pass on a crucial down late in the game.

The play came on second down with 4:14 left and Jacksonville holding a three-point lead. 

Lawrence targeted wide receiver Dyami Brown on a short pass that would have likely set up a manageable third down.

But Lawrence’s throw sailed high. Brown got his hands on it but couldn’t secure the catch. Broadcast cameras then showed Coen appearing to yell at Lawrence. Coen repeatedly pounded his chest, seemingly signaling that Lawrence needed to hit his receivers lower.

Lawrence didn’t take kindly to the criticism, waving Coen off as he moved on to the next play. But after failing to convert on third down, the Jaguars went for it on fourth.

This time, Lawrence hit his top target, Brian Thomas Jr., square in the chest, but Thomas couldn’t hang on. The incompletion forced a turnover on downs, giving Cincinnati the opening it needed.

The Bengals responded with a 92-yard drive over 15 plays, capped by backup quarterback Jake Browning stretching across the goal line in the final seconds for the win. Browning was in after Joe Burrow left with a toe injury in the second quarter.

After the game, Coen downplayed the sideline exchange.

“It was just one throw. I was pissed. It is what it is. That’s emotion,” he said, via Yahoo Sports. “It’s not personal, ever. That’s just me getting worked up.

“I was very pleased with [Lawrence’s] competitive nature. The way he stayed calm on the sidelines. He’s pretty even-keel, which is good for me. I need that.”

Lawrence finished 24-of-42 for 271 yards with three touchdown passes and two interceptions.

Neymar hoped to add a poker title to his litany of club and international soccer honors on Wednesday. Needless to say, it wasn’t in the cards for the Brazil superstar.

Neymar reached the final (virtual) table of the Super Tuesday High Roller event at the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker 2025, competing for a top prize of $186,434. But facing off against poker professionals and at a severe chip disadvantage, the soccer star didn’t last long before bowing out of the tournament. He finished in last place out of the seven players.

The 33-year-old forward entered the round with the fewest chips of anyone, holding less than one-third of the chip leader’s total. Despite his disappointing showing on Day 2, he still took home $26,111 after a $10,300 buy-in — not bad for a day’s work playing poker on the internet.

Neymar has been a mainstay on the high-stakes poker circuit for many years, and he has expressed plans to play professionally after retiring from soccer. In 2022, he made his first in-person appearance at a World Series of Poker event in the United States, but was eliminated before the end of Day 1. Back in 2018, he even posted a photo on Instagram back in 2018 of himself playing poker at home while he was recovering from an injury … and while Paris Saint-Germain, his club at the time, were busy clinching the Ligue 1 title.

If that isn’t enough proof of his obsession with the game, he even named his first pet dog “Poker”!

After spending six seasons with PSG and two in Saudi Arabia with Al Hilal, the forward now captains his boyhood club, Santos, in the Brazilian Serie A. He has three goals in 12 appearances so far this season. However, he was left out of the latest Brazil squad by coach Carlo Ancelotti with the 2026 World Cup in North America fast approaching.
