Gabbert completed 18 of 29 passes for 203 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. On the Jaguars' second possession, Gabbert was looking for Rashad Jennings on a designed screen pass, but Vontae Davis jumped the pass and took the ball 45-yards for touchdown to give the Colts a 14-0 lead.
The Jaguars managed two long drives in the second quarter, but failed to score a touchdown on either possession and instead settled for two field goals.

Jacksonville started the second half with a 13-play drive that ended in a Gabbert touchdown pass to Marcedes Lewis, who dragged both feet and secured the ball before going out of bounds.
The Colts came right back and scored a touchdown of their own when Luck lofted a medium pass to Donnie Avery with two blockers out front, Avery slipped the first would be tackler, cut left and then turn up the sideline for the score making it 24-13.
The Colts would score one more touchdown to start the fourth quarter when Ballard broke a run for 34 yards and took the ball right into the endzone.
The Jaguars drop to 1-7 on the season and split the season series with the Colts.
