In spite of not having his best game, and in spite of Adam "Money" Vinatieri missing a crucial field goal attempt late in the 3rd quarter, Andrew Luck rallied the troops for 13 consecutive points on the Colts' final 3 drives of the game to turn a 24-14 deficit into a 27-24 victory. On the final drive, Luck shook free of a potential sack on 3rd down and 9 to throw what proved to be a game-winning completion to a wide-open Chester Rogers 34 yards downfield. Vinatieri kicked the game-winner 3 plays later on the final play of the contest. Good teams find ways to win games when they don't play their best (Andrew Luck, the offense, and Adam Vinatieri in particular), and that is what the Colts did today. The Colts may or may not be a good team ........ but they did what a good team does today. o |

Does anyone know if Vinatieri's missed field goal attempt late in the 3rd quarter was partially blocked ??? I thought that I heard the sound of someone getting a piece of the ball before it fell short of the goalposts. Also, I think that occasionally a kicker is partially to blame himself for not getting enough elevation on a kick that is blocked (as opposed to the offensive line just doing a bad job of blocking.) I'm not sure if that was the case this here, as it was a relatively long attempt (48 yards), in which case the kicker needs to sacrifice some of his elevation for distance. o |
