Two wins in a row ... Break-up the Colts!!! (And pass the fried chicken!)

Not only did Your Colts win last night, they also had their highest point total of the season.  Colts 20 Chiefs 12.

The Playmaker was in the middle of all things good.  First play he ran a down out and up, flew past his defender, only to have the pass sail over his head.  Two plays later he took a simple crossing route, caught the 10 yard pass, juked his man, then raced 30 yards to The House.  6-zip, Colts. Following an interception, he had a short field to play with and took over as QB.  First play, six yard completion.  Second play, run for 5 yards.  On third down he eluded the pass push, side-stepped to his right and then threw across the field to an open receiver in the end zone.  Said receiver promptly ... wait for it ... dropped the TD pass.  (In what was surely a coincidence, The Head Ball Coach "muttered" the F-bomb on the sideline.)  Fourth down yielded a TD reception but, alas, the kid was out of bounds.  (Good call.)

The game was tied 6-6 at half.  We went up 14-6, then saw the score go to 14-12.  We scored to make it 20-12.  The Chiefs got the ball with 45 seconds left -- enough time for two plays.  First play: a running play.  The Playmaker zoomed in and pulled the flag for a two yard loss.  Second play: They threw a pass to their fastest player who caught the ball and bolted down the middle of the field with open turf ahead. The Playmaker left his man and yanked the flag from behind at midfield to end the game.  If he missed the tackle, the game could have potentially been tied (TD + 2 point conversion).
p
The Colts are now 2-1-1.
