Highlights of the Indianapolis Colts' trip to the Seattle Seahawks in week four of the NFL.

The Seattle Seahawks outscored the Indianapolis Colts 36-3 in the second half to pull away for a 46-18 win on Sunday night.

Seattle trailed 15-10 at the break, but exploded into life with 22 points in the third quarter, which included a 23-yard touchdown run by quarterback Russell Wilson.

Wilson then added two passing TDs in the fourth quarter, picking out tight end Luke Wilson and running back J.D. McKissic, who also had a 30-yard score on the ground in the third.

The dismantling of the Colts defence in the second half was in stark contrast to their earlier efforts, which included sacking Wilson for a safety in the first quarter and picking off the Seattle QB twice on the night.

Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett also threw an interception, and lost a fumble, both of which were run back for touchdowns by John Coleman and Bobby Wagner, respectively.

Coleman's pick six moved Seattle into a 10-2 lead in the second quarter before Indianapolis responded brilliantly, with a Robert Turbin one-yard TD run and a Brissett pass to Donte Moncrief giving them the advantage at the break.
