Sunday Night’s game was, for lack of better words, OUTSTANDING. It represented very well what the NFL is all about. Great plays being played, tough calls being called and 2 very good teams playing their A game and leaving everything on the playing field…and of course all being topped by a Colts victory. This game was intense to the very last second, when the Pats decide to go for it (not the best decision they could´ve made) on 4th and 2 only to be stopped by the Colts defense. It´s then when the Offense takes over and starts playing their very A game which ended in a touchdown and with the Colts winning.
Now there where several times during the game, well most of the game, where things looked like it was going to be all over for the Colts, the Pats where moving the ball, catching the passes. The Colts offense could match what the Pats where doing but still they managed to remain in the game. Te better explain this I´m going to quote the words of BigBlueShoe over at Stampede Blue
The Patriots were dominant in the first half of the game, scoring 24 points while using a game plan that attacked Indy’s injury-riddled secondary. But, as we Colts fans know all to well, it is not how you start. It’s how you finish. In the fourth quarter, the Patriots disintegrated like wet tissue paper right in front of our eyes. The Colts outscored them 21-10 in the fourth, striking with TDs on two very quick drives. Also in the fourth quarter, with a 31-14 lead, the Patriots ran the ball only 6 times for 16 yards (2.6 a carry). And on the offensive drive following Joseph Addai‘s TD to cut the Patriots lead to 6, the vaunted Pats offense stalled after Jerraud Powers nearly (and likely should have) picked off Tom Brady’s sideline pass and returned it for a TD.
So yes! Go Colts! They are for real and even though this is just 1 of 16 games it sure felt like a AFC Championship game. Or as NFL.com says in its game-awesomeness-meter: Memorable.

Things to worry about
The Colts have played mediocre to average teams this season and they have not won by an avalanche of TD’s. The truth is that the Colts have had a hard time beating teams like Houston, San Francisco and even though they are undefeated at the moment thay have done so with a team that seems to struggle at times. By no means is it time to lay back and enjoy the ride, it is time to keep up the hard work. We know the Ravens are a very tough team, and that the Colts can’t just breeze through the Texans and the Titans are on the rise winning and winning. And quite honestly being this far into the season and still remain undefeated well, you wanna try and stay that way.
Cheers!
