| GAME REPORT |
With the game deadlocked at 28 and seemingly headed for overtime, Karl Williams came to the rescue with a 21-yard punt return to the Colts’ 45-yard line.
Trent Dilfer then connected on three straight passes of 12, nine and six yards to set up Husted’s game-winning 36-yard field goal with just :11 remaining.
