My family and I went to Indianapolis last night to watch the Colts play Jacksonville. Going in, we were a little worried about the Colts' chances. After all, they did come back masterfully against Minnesota the week before, but we were worried nonetheless.

Our main concern was that Jacksonville would run the ball alot and run the clock by keeping the possession. According to AP, the Jaguars kept the ball for 41 minutes. They had over 220 yards rushing. Peyton Manning threw two interceptions and a ref fell down during a punt return. (The ref falling down while backpedaling didn't affect the game, but it was funny.)

Anyway, with around two minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Jags were up 20-14 and Manning takes over again. He just has great plays in him somewhere that he can just draw on. The Colts score the TD, kick the extra point and with about a minute to go, the Colts are winning 21-20. I then noticed on the scoreboard that the Titans beat Houston. That put the hope of being tied for first with Tenn out of reac for now.

Then Jacksonville marched to mid-field and kicked a 51-yard field goal that let all the air out of the stadium. The Colts then tried some lateral passing on the punt return for the remaining 4 seconds and it was over.

So now, Tennessee is 3-0 and the Colts are 1-2, tied for second with Jacksonville, and leaving their fans with the hope the offensive line can protect Manning better and the defense can stop the Jaguars running game, or anyone's running game for that matter.

The Colts have a week off then face the Texans on 10/5.

Go Colts!
