fall

Postgame Recaps, Storylines,
and News |
The Indianapolis Colts strolled
back into the playoffs with a
performance that fully displayed
just how far the Baltimore
Ravens have fallen in 11 months.
Peyton Manning threw four
touchdown passes, including the
300th of his career, and the
Colts built a 30-point lead in
the second quarter en route to a
44-20 victory Sunday night.
The win, combined with
Tennessee's loss to San Diego
earlier in the day, assured the
Colts (11-2) a sixth consecutive
trip to the postseason.
Baltimore (4-9) has lost a
franchise-record seven straight.
Coming off an inspired effort in
a 27-24 loss to the unbeaten New
England Patriots, the Ravens
committed five turnovers, had a
punt blocked and managed only 57
yards in offense through the
first 30 minutes.

COLTS:
The Colts need to continue
offensive consistency and
improve on the defensive effort
from the Jacksonville game. The
Colts are slowly getting key
injured players back on the
field, especially on offense.
Indianapolis displayed its usual
high-powered offense against the
Jaguars but slight improvement
is needed in the running game
and pass protection.
Defensively, the Colts
regressed a little bit. The good
news, though, is that
Indianapolis was able to make
some momentum-changing plays
late in the Jacksonville game.
The Colts can't afford to take a
step back against a strong
Baltimore running game and must
do a better job of applying
pressure to the quarterback...FULL
STORY
RAVENS: The Ravens' game
plan against Indianapolis likely
will be the same as the one they
used against New England. The
Ravens want to control the ball
with their running game, and
they want to be physical in the
secondary against the Colts
receivers.
If their offensive and
defensive lines can dominate
like they did against New
England, the Ravens can control
the tempo of the game. The
Ravens just have to limit their
mistakes and penalties...FULL
