Colts triumph in Berlin: Thriller with extra time against Falcons!
In the sold-out Olympic Stadium in Berlin, fans experienced a thrilling NFL thriller on November 9, 2025 Indianapolis Colts the Atlanta Falcons defeated 31:25 in sudden death format. In front of more than 72,000 enthusiastic spectators, the Colts made history by winning the NFL's first regular-season game in the German capital.
There were plenty of special highlights: Jonathan Taylor, the Colts' star running back, shone with an incredible 244 rushing yards and three touchdowns, including a spectacular 83-yard run that caused a sensation in the final quarter. Not only did he become the game's decisive player, but he also set the stage for the victory that puts the Colts on a promising path for the upcoming playoffs.
Exciting twists and moments
The Falcons also had their strong moments. Tyler Allgeier conjured two touchdowns, one of which even gave Atlanta the lead. But the Colts responded with a field goal from Michael Badgley, who equalized the final score at 25:25 shortly before the end. In overtime, the Colts were able to force the Falcons into a three-and-out in a tricky situation, which ultimately paved the way for them to win the decisive point.
Colts quarterback Daniel Jones, who had some difficulty and produced several turnovers, was still able to throw an important 37-yard touchdown pass to Alec Pierce. Despite the flaws of its offense, the Falcons avoided an even worse debacle by taking good advantage of Jones' inadequacies.
