What a game!



The game of the week between the two AFC power houses concluded with the Patriots squeaking by the Colts 24-20. If you think the score is close then check out the game stats:

New England Patriots (9-0-0)
Total Net Yards 342
Penalties-Yards 10-146
Time of Possession 29:44
Total Turnovers 2
Indianapolis Colts (7-1-0)
Total Net Yards 329
Penalties-Yards 4-25
Time of Possession 30:16
Total Turnovers 2

The Colts led the entire game until there was 3:21 left in the game and Tom Brady found Kevin Faulk for 13 yard touchdown. The Colts got the ball back and began there drive down the field. But with 2:34 left in the game, Manning was hit from behind and coughed the ball up and right into the hands of OLB Colvin. This turnover would wind up being the nail in the coffin for the Colts as the Pats ran three plays and began kneeling, to run out the clock and continue their undefeated season.

After this game the question that lines the sky is, “Can the Patriots go the rest of the season undefeated?” There is only one other team in NFL history that went undefeated and that was the 1972 Miami Dolphins.
