Colts Beat Jags
Peyton helps to lift tha Indy Colts over tha Jags and clinch Indy a playoff berth. Final score: 31-24. So he finds out he is a Pro Bowl selected player, then goes out and wins an important game to clinch a playoff spot. I’d say this is a pretty good week for Peyton. During halftime Manning asked to his coaches, if they had any suggestions for him and all they replied was “You haven’t thrown any incompletions. Just try to keep doing what your’re doing.” So pretty simple. He outplayed tha Jags D throughout tha game. Peyton was almost perfect thru tha entire game. Peyton completed 17 in a row. This leads Indy to their 8th win in a row and 7th playoff berth in a row. So Indy is a pretty solid team right now
Manning was 29/34 with 364 yards and 3TD’s. With that great performance tha Indy Colts get a 5th seed in tha AFC playoff picture. Tha Jags were on top for most of tha game, or so it seemed by score. But of course, just as I thought tha Colts would pull it off as tha game counts down with strong drives and tight D. They always seem to go down in tha first few quarters, then out of no where win it.
Now there is still tha MVP talk going around and Peyton could sure be it, that was a solid game to argue that he is MVP. I am not a Colts fan at all, but congrats to Indy for this tough win and playoff clinch.
