What can I say about the Colts? Peyton Manning is unbelievable. He didn't panic in the first half when the Colts were down 17 to 6 against the Jets. With under two minutes remaining before halftime, Peyton Manning and the Colts marched down the field in just two plays that ended in an Austin Collie touchdown reception to cut the defecit to four at 17 to 13 before the half.
From that point on, the Jets had no chance to win in the second half. Peyton Manning dissected the Jets defense with a surgeon's knife. The Jets were held scoreless in the second half as the Colts punched their ticket to Miami with a 30 to 17 triumph.
The Vikings and Saints was a good encore that followed. It was a back and forth matchup like the Packers and Cardinals a couple weeks before. The Vikings put up a good effort even with five turnovers in a 31 to 28 overtime loss in the Big Easy against Drew Brees and the Saints. Brett Favre stood resilient even though he was getting knocked around like a human pinata. The retirement discussion is sure to start up again soon. My prediction is he'll decide to come back eventually at some point over the summer, probably after training camp.
