FOURTEEN-AND-OH FEELS GOOD
I have to say the Colts have had some of the most exciting and fun football games this year. That game last night at Jacksonville was a shootout coming down to the last min with everyone on the edge of their seats. Peyton Manning, who played a perfect first half for a second time in as many visits to Jacksonville, followed that half with yet another fourth-quarter rally, leading the Colts to their 14th consecutive victory this season – 35-31 over the Jacksonville Jaguars in front of a sold-out croud at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla., Thursday night. The Colts rallied five times from three-point deficits, the last time when Manning threw his fourth touchdown pass – this one a 65-yarder to three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Reggie Wayne on 3rd-and-5 from the Colts 35 with 5:23 remaining. An interception by rookie cornerback Jacob Lacey secured the victory with :56 remaining.
The Colts, who extended their regular-season winning streak to an NFL-record 23 games, became the third team in NFL history to start the season 14-0. The 1972 Miami Dolphins went unbeaten in a 14-game regular season, and the New England Patriots finished 16-0 in 2007. Donning one of my Indianapolis Colts Jerseys is an excellent way for me to show my support for my team.
