Even if you really want all Boston sports teams to just disappear right now, you have
to  hand it to the New England Patriots tonight.

     The Indianapolis Colts, led by running back Joseph Addai and QB Peyton Manning, left the Pats
gasping for three quarters. They outblocked, outpassed, and even outCOACHED them
for 45 minutes.

     But the last 15 minutes were all Belichick, all Brady, all Moss and all Patriots.
 
     Randy Moss (9 catches) tore up the RCA dome, his biggest play being a 55-yard catch in the 4th
quarter to set up a Wes Welker TD catch of a Brady pass to narrow the Colts lead to 20-17. After a Colts punt,
Brady took over, chalking up his 3rd TD pass of the night on a toss to RB Kevin Faulk coming out of the backfield
to give the Pats a 24-20 lead. The Colts then took over, but on a huge 3rd down play, Manning was stripped of the ball, and the Pats Roosevelt Colvin recovered. The Pats then ran out the clock.

    After that final fumble, Manning sat on the sideline making what ESPN.com's Bill Simmons calls the Peyton Manning Face. Ever come home from a week long vacation only to find that someone stole your VCR? Remember the look on your face? Exactly.  That's the Manning Face. For the first time in over 2 years, the Pats beat the Colts.
Looks like they may have gotten back inside Mr. Madison Avenue's head again.

    Till January, in Foxboro. Hopefully.
