NFL: Colts surge to late victory after Patriots gamble fails

REUTERS AND AP , INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA

Shayne Graham kicked four field goals in the second half even as the Bengals failed to convert opportunity after opportunity to take control. Bernard Scott’s 96-yard kickoff return in the first quarter proved pivotal as Cincinnati, despite playing the second half without ace running back Cedric Benson and failing to convert on the extra point after Scott’s score, followed up a 23-20 win over the Steelers on Sept. 27.
