This was a sneaky underrated important Manning era win: Colts, coming off their first ever loss to the Texans, needed this game to lock up the 3 seed. A loss would’ve set up a wild card rematch vs a feisty Jets team that played them very tough in week 4. Miami despite their record had played well against decent teams (almost beat the Jets, shut out New England) This game ended up being huge as it enabled them to tie New England at 12-4 and IND had H2H tiebreaker for seeding (that was a SNF game CT Archives previously uploaded)
1:30:25 Interesting commentary by Jim Nantz and Phil Simms about how the Colts would still be tough to beat in the playoffs despite their stumble in December, which would indeed come true when they reeled off four straight playoff wins to win it all.
Not gonna lie. I literally laughed when they talked about how it could be important for the Colts to win and become the 3rd rather than 4th seed. I reasoned that whether they ultimately had to go through the Ravens or Chargers it wouldn’t matter as they wouldn’t likely get past that point and that the chances they would end up hosting the AFC Championship game was essentially zero. Was shocked-though generally delighted when they proved me wrong on all counts. I even jumped on the bandwagon enough that by the SB I predicted they would defeat the Bears.
I didn't think the Colts would lose to KC, but no way could they win at Baltimore and if they managed that San Diego totally had the Colts number in the mid-00s. So another disappointing playoff to look forward to. Then when the Patriots went up 21-0 I just about shut the tv off. So glad I didn't.

The Colts defense sucked they got punished every single week on the ground. I used to laugh when I watched teams run all over that small soft ass lousy tacking defense of the Colts.

Hell these Dolphins beat a healthy and undefeated (7-0) Bears team at Soldier Field by EIGHTEEN points!
If the Patriots had the 3rd seed, I think they lose in Baltimore for sure. Colts lose to the Chargers too.

Peyton waves the crowd to be quiet and instantly you could hear a pin drop😂
Nick Saban's last game coaching the Dolphins.
Dan Klecko playing 2 way football, DT and FB!!!
That Miami quarterback is a real Lemon. Actually, for his first start he wasn't too bad.
I didn't think the Colts would lose to KC, but no way could they win at Baltimore and if they managed that San Diego totally had the Colts number in the mid-00s. So another disappointing playoff to look forward to. Then when the Patriots went up 21-0 I just about shut the tv off. So glad I didn't.
That has to be the fastest ive ever seen peyton run on that td
1:26:12 talking about "the future of Nick Saban" well we know how that worked out.
Everything's was ABOUT to CHANGE forever in 2007:

Do you have the Ravens Colts 2008 game also.
Oh, god. Cleo Lemon.
For the first time ever, Peyton Manning beats the Dolphins at home.
Lmaoooo you skipped parts of the game
Those parts of the game are either missing or I had trim out to avoid it getting blocked for copyright
Whatever happened to lemon??

Yeah I never took the colts defense seriously
Bob Sanders was a beast, but he stayed injured.
