    Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky The Colts got shredded on the ground, giving up 180 rushing yards to the Vikings at the Metrodome and gaining just 25 for themselves.
    Still, they came back from a 15-0 deficit and won 18-15 on a last-second field goal from Adam Vinatieri.
    From web highlights and the game book, it certainly looks like an even game. (Even the QBs were kind of a wash -- while Peyton Manning threw for 181 more yards and a TD, he also had two picks, while Tavaris Jackson's 73.3 passer rating was a touch better.
    The difference?
    Well, both teams got into the red zone only twice, and the Colts got seven points on a Joseph Addai 1-yard plunge, set up by the Manning pass to Anthony Gonzalez and the Gonzalez lateral to Reggie Wayne.
    The Vikings' two trips inside the 20 produced just six points on two of Ryan Longwell's five field goals.

    Man would have been nice to take a 2 game lead in the South.

    I hope the Jags knock them off next week and we win.

    Actually, T-Jax looked good against the Colts. They just couldn't hold the Colts for long enough.

    He didn't look bad to me. His first quarter was pretty bad, but after that he played well. He should be a pretty good QB for the Vikes. Either that, or your weak defense made him look good. :))

    :rolleyes:

    Yeah you go score a bunch of TDs with Berrian as the only guy to throw to. Good luck with that.
    Thank you.
