          MINNEAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts got on the board after a big play on "Sunday Night Football."

          Colts nose tackle Grover Stewart bowled over Minnesota Vikings center Garrett Bradbury on a first-and-10 play, then decked quarterback Sam Darnold, who fumbled.

          Colts cornerback Kenny Moore II took it from there, scooping up the loose ball and dashing 38 yards to the end zone untouched for the first score of the game with 10:56 left in the second quarter.

          The Colts' score initially looked to be in doubt after a flag was thrown during the play following Stewart's contact with Darnold's helmet. But the officiating crew ultimately waved off the flag and the call stood.
