I am still sort of trying to figure out exactly how the Colts won the game yesterday.  Down 27-10 with just over 4 minutes remaining, Indianapolis had the ball and had to score to even have an inkling of a chance to get the win.

When they came out on offense, I ran the normal dream scenario through my head.  If we score here, then stop them on a three-and-out, then score another touchdown.  THEN, we will recover the onside kick and at least get into field goal range to take it to over time.

Well, my scenario wasn't as far fetched as it seemed.  Somehow Indianapolis stole this game from Houston by scoring 21 points in just over two minutes.

When Sage Rosenfels decided that he was going to go balls to wall for the first down, I'm sure he did not envision be spun like a cheap child's toy helicopter before fumbling the ball into Gary Brackett's mitts.  I'm also pretty sure that he was a bit dizzy when he hit the ground and didn't realized Brackett had just narrowed the gap from 27-17 to 27-24 with 3 minutes and change to play.

At this point, I was sitting on the couch, feverishly instant messaging Kelper about how the Colts might actually be able to pull this game out.  I know that I wasn't really thinking the Colts were going to win, but I couldn't help but play some more of that dream scenario stuff through my head.  If we can just stop them here, we can really get the ball back before the two minute warning and have a shot at tying the game up.  Then, get the ball in OT and take it in for the win.

Well, cue up Sage Rosenfels' bonehead play # 2!  Rosenfels rolled out again and this time was going to throw, when Robert Mathis pulled his best Superman impersonation and swatted the ball from Rosenfels' hand.  The ball hit the turf and my world literally went silent trying to figure out who had the ball.  As I messaged Kelper with a bunch of holy sh*t and this is amazing, I awaited the outcome of the fumble.  When the Colts were awarded the ball, I immediately knew that they were going to win.

The first play was a running play with Joseph Addai and he somehow spun and kicked and stumbled forward for a first down run down inside the 10 yard line.  I couldn't believe the determination of this team.  After watching a team play with so little life, so little pep, I couldn't believe the amount of intensity and passion was flowing from every single player.  Then, the play happened.  I'm not going to say it is the best catch ever, but it might be the best catch in Colt's history, I don't know.  I know it is in the top 5 for sure.  If you look at the picture at the top of the article, you will see that beauty of a catch.  Reggie Wayne, corner of the endzone, one hand, two feet and a shin, touchdown.  At this point, I was on the phone with my Dad, because I had to let out some of my nervous energy.  He is usually the voice of reason and I am usually the voice of "WTF was that".  This was no different.  I just kept saying, It has to be a touchdown.  Look, one foot, two feet, knee, touchdown.  HE HAS POSSESSION!  Meanwhile, Dad is just saying, "It's a tough call, it's a tough call."  Indeed it was, but in the end, it was the right call and the Colt's had taken the lead at 31-27.  WOW

After a Sage Rosenfels' INT, the game was sealed and some how, some way, the Colts had escaped with the improbably come from behind win, leaving the whole city of Houston in a state of shock and disbelief. 

Let's just go ahead and win one the old fashioned way next week guys.  What do you say?
