Lenny P gives his perspective on the win
The win marked the second season in a row in which the Colts rallied from a 17-point deficit at Reliant Stadium. But coming back from early deficits, both big and small, has become a hallmark of an Indianapolis team that won its first six games by an average of 17.0 points. The Colts have won their past five games by 4, 3, 1, 2 and 8 points. In fact, the Colts became the first team in league annals to win five straight games after trailing in the fourth quarter of all of them.
Indianapolis has now won 10 straight road games and 20 consecutive games overall. The 20 victories are one shy of the New England Patriots’ NFL-record 21-game run from 2006 to ’08. The Colts can tie the record if they beat the resurgent Tennessee Titans at Lucas Oil Stadium next weekend.
Observers have been insisting the past few weeks that the Colts’ lack of manpower, particularly on defense, will catch up to them. But so far, Indianapolis has ignored the skeptics and remained oblivious to some dicey situations.
