When the Colts had to face the Steelers without cornerback Vontae Davis, they watched Ben Roethlisberger throw six touchdown passes against them.

They’ve played just a few snaps without Davis on Sunday, but Colt McCoy hit DeSean Jackson for a long touchdown on one of them. Jackson reeled in a 42-yard catch for a score just after Davis was forced out of the game after trying to make a tackle on Redskins running back Roy Helu. It looked like it could have been a head injury for Davis, who rested on the bench briefly before going to the back, and that was confirmed when the Colts ruled him out with a concussion.

Jackson’s score was the third touchdown pass of the day for McCoy, who saw the previous Washington possession end when Erik Walden stripped McCoy and D’Qwell Jackson returned it for a touchdown. That made the score 35-17, but it’s down to an 11-point lead for a Colts team that’s down it’s best corner for the rest of the day.

UPDATE 3:33 p.m. ET: Make that an 18-point lead. Andrew Luck and Coby Fleener hooked up for a 73-yard touchdown to make the score 42-24 shortly after Jackson’s score.
