To complete the Colts Bounce Back Tour™ we finish with the offensive line. Last week they tried to kill our man. This week, they played well, opening holes in the running game and kept Peyton clean in the passing game — for most of the first half. Manning seemed to take some hits in the 2-minute drill to end the half, and that trend continued in the second half, as the Giants ramped up the pressure. It’s going to be a process to get the line over their injuries and to gel as a unit — but performances like tonight, while not amazing, are just what the Colts need: Give Peyton time, and be able to run when the defense is daring you to.
