At the Colts

Call the Colts fortunate if you wish, but it’s their refusal to panic, no matter how dire the situation, that has led to winning a league-record five consecutive games despite trailing in the fourth quarter. I’m not sure what it would take to really bury Indy these days, but you could tell being down 17 points in the second quarter at Houston wasn’t going to fluster Peyton Manning and Co.

I honestly don’t know which of Indy’s latest feats is more impressive: The 20 consecutive regular-season wins, just one shy of New England’s 2006-2008 league record, its NFL-record seventh straight year of at least 11 wins, or its 11-0 start under rookie head coach Jim Caldwell?
