Doyel: Vinatieri is the greatest ever -- and he's getting better

Clark Wade/IndyStar

INDIANAPOLIS – We’re watching the greatest kicker of all time, and we’re watching him get better. Even at age 43, Adam Vinatieri is getting better.

Vinatieri kicked five more field goals on Sunday, including blasts of 53 and 54 yards, to lead the Indianapolis Colts past Chicago, 29-23. And he is leading this team. Crazy as that sounds, the Colts are led by their kicker. They rarely have the better offense on the field and never the better defense, but they always win the special teams battle.
