What happened: The scoring play came in the teams' second preseason game after two joint practices in Indianapolis. Atlanta's starters were slated to sit after receiving most of their work in those sessions.

Why it matters: The lineup plan shifted game snaps toward players competing for roster spots. Atlanta has one exhibition remaining before the regular season.

By the numbers: The field goal accounted for half of Indianapolis' six points and reduced the deficit to four.

What to watch: Indianapolis will try to erase the remaining deficit as the first half develops.
