The Colts choked on a 3rd and 2 with 2 minutes to go in the game. The Chargers were out of timeouts and the Colts led by 3. The longest 2 yards in Colts history resulted in a sack for Manning, followed by a poor punt that sent the game into overtime as the Chargers kicked a game tying field goal.
The Colts self destructed in overtime with 3 critical penalties that resulted in a winning touchdown for the Chargers. In the space of a few minutes the Colts season came to a crashing halt.
Mind boggling that the NFL's MVP and one of the league's most potent offenses cannot move the ball 2 yards to kill the game. The margin between success and failure in sports is so small. 6 feet in this case between moving on towards the Super Bowl or going home.
A crazy season made up of inconsistent play and too many tight games was over. We now wait to see if Tony Dungy will be back and if Marvin Harrison retires.
Monday night we will sit down to watch Texas play Ohio State in what we hope will be a convincing win.
