It dawned on me yesterday as I watched the Colts win another game they really "shouldn't have won" -- making something five for the season -- that what I was watching was old school New England Patriots football.
The team isn't amassing a ton of yards or points, but you know what? They score TDs in the red zone.
The team occasionally gives up yards and I doubt ranks highly in many defensive categories. But you know what? They have one of (if not THE) best red zone Ds in the league, rarely giving up TDs.
So as I watched that game thinking the Browns "should have won", I realized they had the ball inside the ten twice, maybe three times, and came away with FGs. And that's not luck. That's the Colts being a good team that knows how to win games.
And I couldn't help thinking it all looked a bit too familiar ...
PS
With much disgust, I'll be putting down some $$ on whatever the latest Colts Super Bowl odds are ...
