And what a game it was. "The Comeback Kid" also known as Tom Brady performed some more 4th quarter magic to lead the Patriots over the Colts 24-20. The obvious key play of the game was Manning's fumble with the two minute warning approaching giving the Patriots the ball in great field position to secure the win.
The Colts, led by Joseph "Live and Let" Addai who pounded the Pats D for over 200 yards of offense, seemed to control the game most of the way. Their pass defense lived up to their name with two key interceptions by Bethea and Brackett. Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney also brought pressure on Brady the whole game. Peyton and Addai once again controlled the offense this week. Addai is really emerging as a premier back in this league and is reminding me a lot of Brian Westbrook.
The Patriots, even though down all game, stuck with conservative play and consistency in order to regain the lead. Randy Moss had two beautiful catches, one which was caught one-handed in the middle of the field. He has no fear of coming across the middle and making the big catch to help his team win. For the first time this season the Pats failed to score on their opening drive. However, the early struggles of Tom Brady against a ferocious Colts D wore off as the fourth quarter began. Once again Brady led his team to another comeback win and claimed their spot as the only remaining unbeaten team in the NFL. Time will tell whether this team can go undefeated the whole way, but a win against the Colts gives them tons of momentum heading into their bye week and the final stretch of the season. It should be an exciting finish.
