INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - The Colts remain red hot after stunning the New England Patriots Sunday night .

The Colts rallied from a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter to win by one point in the game's final seconds. But it's not just the crazy comeback that has people talking. Fireworks set off after the Colts' first touchdown started mini fires on the field.

Pete Ward with the Colts said there was a malfunction and the order came down to stop any fireworks for the remainder of the game.

Pyrotechnic Productions is in charge of the fireworks. The Colts have used the company for the past 10 years.

It uses "proximate pyrotechnics," a type of fireworks that can be used indoors.

Ward also said that the confetti and fireworks shoot from different cannons so the confetti was not compromised.
