It was ugly from the start. The Colts only scored 3 points in the first half on a 55-yard field goal at the end of the half. But Adam Vinatieri missed two more kicks today, a 45 yarder in the first quarter and an extra point that would have tied the game.
Those missed kicks ended up being huge in this one. The Colts offense didn’t play well enough to generate enough scoring chances to overcome the missed points. They couldn’t move the ball through the air at all against a top 5 passing defense.
But when the Colts needed it most, Vinny came up huge.
