Pats beat Colts

After all, it was just a football game and the Pats squeezed a victory by the slimmest of margins considering the behemoth of teams involved. The surprising thing about watching the game was the vulnerability shown in both teams. The Patriots, for the first time this season, looked defeatable, yes beat-able. A far cry from bludgeoning the skins 52-7, this game looked like the vintage Pats. The game itself did not look like a duel between polished foes, Manning looked shaken, discouraged and was ultimately beaten, but anyone who has seen Manning at work, knows his unorthodox footwork and wobbly passes, have no correlation with his effectiveness. I will admit as he took the field again with 3 minutes on the clock, I thought that he could with a few passes, march down the field and steal victory from the visiting Patriots, but no. A relieving strip and recovery solidifying the W.
