INDIANAPOLIS — Nick Foles threw a tying touchdown pass with 3:25 to go, and then set up Cody Parkey for the winning 36-yard field goal as time expired, lifting Philadelphia to a 30-27 win at Indianapolis on Monday night.
The Eagles (2-0) have won six straight road openers.
Indianapolis (0-2) has lost consecutive regular-season games for the first time since Andrew Luck and Chuck Pagano arrived in 2012.
The Colts led most of the night, including 27-20 late in the game. But Luck’s late interception led to Foles’ tying 6-yard TD pass to Jeremy Maclin, and after another three-and-out by the Colts, Foles drove the Eagles into position for the winning field goal.
The Colts had taken the lead on a 7-yard TD pass from Luck to Ahmad Bradshaw early in the fourth quarter.
Darren Sproles and LeSean McCoy each had a touchdown run in the third quarter, helping the Eagles rally to a 20-20 tie heading into the fourth.
Sproles had a 19-yard scoring scamper with 2:44 left in the third. McCoy’s 1-yard surge cut the Colts’ lead to 20-13 at the 4:32 mark.
Indianapolis had a 17-6 lead at halftime, and Adam Vinatieri added a 27-yard field goal in the third.
Luck found Ahmad Bradshaw for a 1-yard TD pass with 5:18 remaining in the first quarter. He then had a 2-yard scoring toss to Jack Doyle in the second. Vinatieri also had a 46-yard field goal in the second that gave Indianapolis a 10-3 lead.
Reggie Wayne caught a 19-yard pass and Trent Richardson ran 15 yards in the 58-yard scoring drive that ended with Doyle’s first career touchdown.
