INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Sam Ehlinger directed two fourth-quarter touchdown drives and Jake Funk’s late 4-yard TD run gave the Indianapolis Colts a 24-17 comeback victory over the Chicago Bears on Saturday night.Neither of the two feature attractions — Bears quarterback Justin Fields or Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson — played. The two coaches — Chicago’s Matt Eberflus and Indianapolis’ Shane Steichen — also opted against using most key players after the teams held two joint practices this week.But Gardner Minshew and Ehlinger, the Colts’ backup quarterbacks, and quarterback Tyson Bagent, Chicago’s undrafted rookie, all played well. Both teams are 1-1.Four days after Steichen named Richardson, the No. 4 overall draft pick, Indy’s opening-day starter, Minshew responded by going 13 of 15 with 107 yards and a nifty 4-yard touchdown pass to Juwann Winfree for the game’s first score.Ehlinger was 9 of 14 with 124 yards and led the team with...
