Late in the third quarter after the Colts got the game within one possession at 15-7. the Colts defense stepped up and made a stop. After stacking Vikings running back Adrian Peterson at the line, the next play put the ball into the hands of Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, but not for long. Dwight Freeney forced the ball out of Jackson's hands for a sack, and Colts defensive tackle Keyunta Dawson recovered it at the Vikings 28-yard line.
