INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck's 35-yard touchdown pass to T.Y. Hilton with 3:43 remaining proved to be the game-winner in the Indianapolis Colts' come-from-behind victory against the Chicago Bears on Sunday in Lucas Oil Stadium.

Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri's fifth field goal of the game, a 46-yarder with 2:28 to play, extended the lead to 29-23. The Colts (2-3) then hold off one final Bears drive when quarterback Brian Hoyer failed to convert on fourth-and-8 from the Indianapolis 28 with less than a minute to play.
