Blayne Sucks

The Colts won! Amazingly, our defense set all kinds of franchise records against Kansas City. Bob Sanders was back and the whole defense just felt different. They were tackling on the first touch. They were getting pressure on Trent Green every time he dropped back to pass. They just looked like a totally different crew than we had out there all year long. I’m not sure if it was Tony Dungy’s cool confidence in them all season long, the return of Bob Sanders, the hype given to the game or something else, but whatever it was, I hope we take it with us to Baltimore.

The game was a bit nerve wracking despite the defensive play. Peyton Manning played well but had three interceptions. (If it’s possible to play well and still have three interceptions…) It also looked early on like we wouldn’t be able to get in the end zone and they might be able to trade touchdowns for field goals against us later in the game. However, we responded well after the Chiefs managed their lone touchdown of the game. All in all, it was an impressive playoff win.
