He's must really be hurt obviously. They tried to cover it up with 6 weeks of misdirection, misinformation of game planning, tuning for playoffs, bs here, bs there, etc. Indy made them show their hand. Then went for the jugular. No sympathy here, it happened recently to NE with the Gronk injury gamesmanship leading up being ultimately but an ineffective 1 qtr decoy in SB v NYG II. NYG took full advantage then, IND did now. Good coaching actually IMO.
But I also think some injury spin if not already will surface for the PM apologist. IE... Such a gamer that PM... playing hurt and never a peep... Oh well. Dang I almost wish DEN pulled it off, they are a much weaker team than IND in this state.
Edit - might also explain why DEN seemed so flat. Thought rust at first. But... Demoralized maybe? Knowing your QB is not going to be physically able to get it done, probably no matter what, must be tough to fight through mentally.
