| The Cardinals were unable to sack Manning on even one of his 35 dropbacks. Normally, that points to a team dropping seven or eight into coverage while attempting to limit Manning’s big plays and forcing him into a rare misread, but the Cardinals weren’t doing that either. Peyton audibly identified multiple Cardinals blitzes because the would-be rushers showed their hand too early, and had no qualms about throwing right into the spaces they left. Many of the Colts’ catches came with acres of space around them thanks to failed blitzes and missed assignments in the secondary. Teams shouldn’t give first-ballot Hall of Famers this much help. | |||||||||
