Patriots 31 - Colts 28
Phew. The Patriots
narrowly escape the upset bid in this one. This game probably ended up much closer than it would have if I hadn't played like an idiot. Peterson had wide open running lanes all day, but for some reason I felt the need to mix things up and throw the ball. Brady was atrocious, throwing two awful picks without really any need to.
Brady continued his horrible season, going 5-10 for 69 yards and 2 picks. This was one of those days I'm glad I only care about the W (Brady's had a ton of those this season).
Manning was 14 of 31 for 183 yards, 2 TDs and 2 picks (though about 10 other balls clanked off defenders hands, no exaggeration)
AP had Jamaal Charlesian numbers, carrying 18 times for 307 yards and 4 TDs. He probably would have had more if he hadn't ceded 10 carries to Green-Ellis late in the game.
Addai was also great, rushing 16 times for 137 yards and 2 TDs.
Patriots WRs didn't catch a single pass. Gronk and Hernandez did most of the damage (and it wasn't much) through the air.
Manning on the other hand spread it around very well, with Garcon and McNeill catching TDs (doubling the number the Pats have given up through the air).

gg pitfallharry! This one definitely had me sweating, even though I never trailed after that first score. You shredded my defense about twice as badly as anybody has this season, though as I said before Manning could have easily thrown way more picks than he did. You're a lot better than your record though, if you could play a lick of defense you'd be very competitive in this league.
