UPDATE NFL Preseason: 49ers take 17-10 lead; Curtis Painter struggling for Colts with two INTs

Stay connected for news and updates

The Colts offense and defense had their way with the 49ers for the first two series of the game. On defense, Indy created a very early turnover; a Michael Robinson fumble on the first carry of the game caused by Antoine Bethea. The Colts converted that turnover into a 21-yard Adam Vinatieri field goal.

After the Colts stopped the 49ers on a 3rd and 1 on San Fran’s own 38 yard line, the Colts offense got the football at their own 11 yard line. Manning and the offense drove 89 yards, capping the drive with a nine-yard Joseph Addai touchdown.

If there is a cause for concern it is the Colts run blocking has been sub-par at best. After Alex Smith threw an INT that was returned for 48 yards by Jerraud Powers, the 49ers responded by picking off Colts back-up Curtis Painter and returning it 90 yards for a score.
