Pasquereli looks at Addai’s toss

Nice write up of the GW TD pass

On what amounted to a perfect play call for the situation by senior offensive coordinator Tom Moore, quarterback Peyton Manning handed again to Addai, who started off the left side, then pulled up short and lofted an arcing left-handed pass to wide receiver Reggie Wayne at the back of the end zone. Wayne, who had a game-high 12 catches and has clearly become the Colts’ go-to receiver in the post-Marvin Harrison era, reached out to make a fingertip grab for an 18-14 lead that held up for the final score.

The play, the first touchdown pass of Addai’s four-year professional career, was almost as big a stretch as the desperate lunge Wayne made to complete the winning catch.

“It probably wasn’t as pretty as if Peyton had thrown it,” sheepishly conceded Addai, a former high school quarterback, in the Colts’ locker room, “but it got there. And that’s what counts. It was just enough.”
