Thanks an incredible kick from Mike Nugent with 15 seconds left in the half, the Bengals, in fact, were able to cut the Colts’ lead to 13-10 before the half.
Herron was having a solid game before the fumble — he posted 34 rushing yards and a touchdown with 61 receiving yards in the first half — but there’s no doubt his blunder could come back to haunt the Colts down the stretch.
