Tip to Kuharsky, the Czar says the Colts look like contenders
I don’t care how you feel about the Colts, but this is their ninth straight season in the playoffs, matching a league record. And one good thing about this team is that it stiffened against the run down the stretch.
The Colts stopped Tennessee’s Chris Johnson, holding him to 39 yards in 20 carries, in Sunday’s win. During the final three weeks, the Colts held Jacksonville, Oakland and Tennessee without a 50-yard rusher.
This team could have tanked, but it didn’t. The Colts suffered a bitter disappointment when they were smacked by the Saints in the Super Bowl last year. They have been playing without their great tight end, Dallas Clark, and twice have seen stud receiver Austin Collie get carted off with concussions. Those two are gone, but Manning still has Reggie Wayne (111 receptions this season) and Pierre Garcon.
