INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Jonas Gray scored on a 4-yard run to help the New England Patriots to a 7-3 lead over the Indianapolis Colts after one quarter on Sunday night.

Julian Edelman’s 25-yard run set up Gray’s touchdown with 8:37 left.

Adam Vinatieri got Indianapolis on the board with a 31-yard field goal with 4:19 remaining in the period.

Vinatieri’s 27th field goal of the season put him in the 2,100-point club. He needs five points to break the NFL record for most seasons with 100 points.

Indy went three-and-out on its opening drive and had a penalty to start the second possession before Andrew Luck threw passes of 11, 13 and 46 yards to Reggie Wayne leading up to Vinatieri’s field goal.
