SAN DIEGO, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Adam Vinatieri nailed a 51-yard field goal as time ran out Sunday night to give the Indianapolis Colts a 23-20 victory over San Diego.
The Chargers had tied the game 20-20 with 1 1/2 minutes remaining on a 47-yard field goal by Nate Kaeding and the Chargers' defense seemed to have the Colts stopped on downs when a review spotted a third-down play inches short of a first. However, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning connected with Marvin Harrison with a 14-yard pass to give Indianapolis new life.
After a running play and a clock-stopping spike by Manning, Vinatieri connected on the game-winning kick to give the Colts (7-4) their fourth straight win.
Manning was 32-of-44 for 255 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception.
Joseph Addai carried the ball 16 times for 70 yards and Anthony Gonzalez had six catches for 95 yards and a score for the Colts.
Philip Rivers went 24-of-31 passing for 288 yards and two TDs for San Diego (4-7), which has four losses in its last five games.
LaDainian Tomlinson picked up 84 yards on 21 rushes. Vincent Jackson and Jacob Hester had a touchdown catch for the Chargers.
