Indianapolis and Chicago make history
The Colts became the first club in NFL history to start consecutive seasons with nine triumphs after a narrow escape in a 17-16 home victory over Buffalo while a stunning runback led Chicago past the host New York Giants 38-20.
Chicago’s Devin Hester returned a missed field goal attempt 108 yards for a touchdown that gave the Bears a 31-20 lead with 11:20 remaining. The play matched the longest in NFL history.
