Despite all their efforts to hand the bold to the Redskins,Scholes Jersey, the Colts managed to cull out the 27-24 victory in Washington. These were the highlights from their mistake-filled achievement.
1. Garçon’s great grab. The Colts really absent Pierre Garçon during his two-game absence. Since he alternate endure week,Evra Jersey, he’s bent 10 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown,Manchester United Jersey, none of which was bigger than his highlight-reel grab in the second quarter. Peyton Manning threw the ball top and behind him, yet Garçon leaped in the air, reached aback and hauled in the brawl with one hand,Denver Broncos Jersey, cradling it cautiously as he hit the ground. If you missed it, go watch it — now.
2. Session's bump sack. This could accept been the weirdest sack I’ve anytime apparent in my life. Clint Session broke through the band and had a bright shot at Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb. However, McNabb pump faked Session out of his shoes,Manchester Jersey, forcing him to spin about to see area the ball went. During the action of spinning around though he brushed into McNabb, who fell over for the sack. It’s amazing because the sacks that McNabb eluded on the night that he was felled by such a light touch.
3. Addai admiral the breach. Before he larboard the game with a accept injury, the Colts were aptitude on Addai heavily and he was dispatch up. He agitated the ball 17 times for 128 yards, good for a 7.25 average. He also bankrupt a beautiful 46-yard run that led to Colts TD. While Mike Hart is advantageous, the Colts' breach will take a major hit if Addai is sidelined an continued aeon of time.
Peyton Manning completed 25 of 38 passes for 307 yards and two touchdowns adjoin the Redskins.
4. Jabber Jaws. Earlier this week, ESPN's Ron Jaworski said that after watching film he thinks that some of Manning’s skills are alpha to diminish and that Father Time may be catching up with him. I’m not privy to the coach’s tape that Jaws does, but I didn’t see any signs of abatement on Sunday night. Manning was his usual artful, absolute cocky. He threw excellent back-shoulder throws and darts that breach the Redskins' coverage. But even when Manning’s skills do abatement — whenever that is — there isn’t a quarterback in the alliance added able for success. His intelligence will acquiesce him to abide effective even after his throws aren’t as aciculate. With apologies to Jaws, that hasn’t happened absolutely yet.
