"If Monday night’s New England-Minnesota game didn’t bother the Colts or their fans, maybe they didn’t watch the same game I did.
If I'm a devoted fan or a confident player, I’m not scared of the Patriots. I’m dreading the officiating when the Colts visit New England on Sunday night.
It’s not sour grapes to plead the Vikings’ case here. I picked the Patriots to win. They were the better team. They forced the Vikings into mistakes. They humbled a playoff-caliber team on their home field.
But they had a lot of help they didn’t need. Renowned conspiracy theorist Oliver Stone would have a field day with this.
Brad Johnson’s first-quarter interception was after Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi reached out and restricted intended receiver Mewelde Moore near the goal line. Moore raised his arms in disbelief. No call. Hmmm. We’ve seen this before. Remember the Colts’ playoff game at New England three postseasons ago? Still not calling the Patriots linebackers for holding, huh, guys?"
