Once again, when the going got tough, the Indianapolis Colts proved why they're in control of the AFC South. As it stood before Sunday afternoon, they led the Jacksonville Jaguars by a game in the division & if anything this game would determine one of two scenarios: A) a first place tie in the South division, or B) a chance for the Colts to get a little distance on the Jags & in the process a chance to gain control of their destiny for the remainder of the regular season.
When all was said & done, the final result was B, as Peyton Manning & company time & time again responded to any & every challenge Jacksonville dared to throw at them & Indy came away with a 28-25 victory. Go Horse for sure!! And Reggie Wayne showed the Jags secondary that though Marvin Harrison couldn't play, he & the rest of his receiving comrades were more than happy to pick up the slack.
But of course the Colts set the tone early in the game on defense when Jags QB David Garrard coughed up a free gift for defensive lineman Raheem Brock to have...if there was one play which helped maintain momentum in the Colts' favor for good, Brock's fumble recovery was that play. Kinda hard to beat Indy when you shoot yourself in the foot with too many turnovers as Jacksonville wound up doing. And no amount of challenges from Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio can take away the fact that Indianapolis was by far the better team; sure, the Jags battled back but too little too late to have a chance to make this matchup remotely close.
Not only does this win prove to be key for the Colts as they kick tail in the AFC South; it could also be the perfect boost which they need when it counts the most. And on Sunday, this win over Jacksonville was indeed much-needed, with the division on the line & all.
Go Colts!!
