Week 9: vs. New England Patriots
at
RCA
Dome, Indianapolis, Indiana
Game Summary
The unbeaten Colts played the undefeated Patriots in Week 9 in a
heavily-hyped game, dubbed "Super Bowl XLI½" by
Chris Berman. Colt kicker and former Patriot
Adam Vinateri gave the Colts an early
lead with a 21-yard field goal. However,
Randy Moss would help give the Patriots their
first lead of the game on a four yard touchdown reception, his
twelfth of the season, tying a Patriots record. After Vinateri
kicked another field goal to make it a 7-6 game, the Colts would
regain the lead just before the half when
Joseph Addai caught a "dump-off" pass by
Peyton Manning and took it 73 yards
into the endzone, giving the Colts a 13-7 lead.
Patriots kicker
Stephen
Gostkowski provided all the third quarter scoring off a 34-yard
field goal to cut the Colts lead to 13-10. In the 4th quarter,
Manning ran in a play from the Patriot one-yard line to give the
Colts a 20-10 lead. However, the Patriots came right back and, with
the aid of a 33-yard reception from
Donte' Stallworth, the Pats got their
first touchdown of the half off a 4-yard catch by
Wes Welker. Forcing a punt by the Colts,
Kevin Faulk then gave the Patriots a 24-20 lead
off a 13-yard reception to give the Patriots their first lead of
the half. The Patriots then stopped a drive by the Colts when
Peyton Manning was hit by
Jarvis Green
and fumbled the ball into the hands of
Rosevelt Colvin with just under three
minutes to go. On third and ten with no timeouts left for the
Colts, the Patriots ended any hope for Indianapolis when Welker
made a big 12-yard catch to give the Patriots a first down. The
Patriots were able to kneel the ball after that to finish off the
Colts and the Colts fell to 7-1, losing their first game of the
season.
The game was costly in other ways, as some seven starters were
knocked out, including
Dallas
Clark.

Week 10: at San Diego Chargers
at
Qualcomm
Stadium, San Diego, California
Game Summary
The
San Diego Chargers got out to
a fast start from
Darren Sproles'
89-yard opening kickoff return for a touchdown. After a later field
goal, Sproles would follow up with a 45-yard punt return for a
touchdown in the first quarter. He became only the second player in
NFL history, and first since 1958, to return a kickoff and a punt
for touchdowns in the opening quarter. San Diego failed on the
subsequent two-point conversion to lead 16-0. With 8:47 left in the
second quarter,
LaDainian
Tomlinson rushed for a four yard touchdown to give the Chargers
a 23-0 advantage.
Peyton Manning
would lead the Colts down the field and capped the drive with a 8
yard TD pass to receiver Reggie Wayne. Later, in the fourth
quarter, Manning threw a 7 yard score to running back
Kenton Keith. Twenty-five seconds later,
linebacker
Gary Brackett recovered a
fumble in the endzone for a touchdown. The Colts attempted a rush
for the two-point conversion to tie the game 23-23, but were held
short. With a 23-21 lead, the Colts got the ball back with only a
few minutes left in the game. They marched down the field into San
Diego territory. On fourth down with 1:31 remaining,
Adam Vinatieri was put in for a 29 yard field
goal try. Vinatieri, despite being known for his clutch kicks and
having over a 95% success rate in field goals under 30 yards,
missed wide to the right. Vinatieri missed an earlier 42 yard try
at the end of the half, going 0-2 in the game. It was the first
time since 2001 Vinatieri was 0-2 kicking field goals. The Colts
would get the ball back, but Manning would seal a Chargers win by
throwing an interception with no time remaining. Manning struggled
in the game, throwing a career-high 6 interceptions. The mark is
also a Colts franchise record. Chargers cornerback
Antonio Cromartie had three interceptions
in the game, becoming one of only 11 Chargers to have three picks
in a single game. The Colts were heavily injured on both sides of
the ball. Receivers
Marvin Harrison
and
Anthony Gonzalez, left tackle
Tony Ugoh, and tight end
Dallas Clark missed the game. In perhaps the
biggest blow to the Colts,
Dwight
Freeney injured his left foot and was carted off the field.
Three days later, it was confirmed that Freeney had suffered a
season-ending
Lisfranc fracture.
By the end of the game, a total of nine Colts on their 53-man
roster either did not play due to injury or were injured in the
game. The Colts dropped to 7-2, remaining in first place in the
AFC South division. Meanwhile, the
Chargers moved to 5-4 and clear first in the
AFC West.

Postseason results
Divisional Playoff: vs San Diego Chargers
at
RCA
Dome, Indianapolis, Indiana
Game Summary
Despite the loss of starting quarterback
Philip Rivers and running back
LaDanian Tomlinson (the NFL's leading
rusher during the season), San Diego still managed to defeat the
defending Super Bowl champion Colts, forcing them to turn the ball
over on downs twice in San Diego territory in the final minutes of
the game.
The Colts started out the game strong, driving 76 yards and scoring
with
Peyton Manning's 25-yard
touchdown pass to tight end
Dallas
Clark. Then defensive back
Kelvin
Hayden intercepted a pass from Rivers on the Colts 24-yard line
and the Colts moved the ball to the San Diego 40-yard line.
However, Indianapolis receiver
Marvin
Harrison, playing in his first game back from an injury in
nearly 3 months, fumbled the ball while being tackled by
Antonio Cromartie, and defensive back
Marlon McCree recovered it. Following
the turnover, San Diego drove 78 yards and tied the game with
Rivers' 14-yard touchdown pass to
Vincent Jackson. Manning responded by
completing 3 passes for 42 yards on a 44-yard drive that ended with
an
Adam Vinatieri field goal to give
the Colts a 10–7 lead. Both teams blew scoring opportunities on
their next drives. First the Chargers drove to the Indianapolis
31-yard line, only to have
Nate Kaeding
miss a 48-yard field goal. Then the Colts advanced to the Chargers
35-yard line, but on their last play of the half, Manning's pass
was intercepted by Cromartie. Cromartie's 89-yard touchdown return
was called back by a holding penalty, but he managed to prevent the
Colts from scoring and it remained 10–7 at halftime.
The Chargers took the second half kickoff and quickly took the lead
with a 30-yard touchdown catch from
Chris
Chambers. Once again the Colts drove into Chargers territory,
moving the ball all the way to the San Diego 4-yard line. But on
third down and 3, Manning's pass was intercepted by
Eric Weddle. However, the Chargers could only
move the ball to their own 6-yard line and
T. J. Rushing returned their punt 12-yards to
midfield. This time the Colts drove 50 yards and scored with
Manning's 9-yard touchdown pass to
Reggie
Wayne. Wayne was initially ruled out of bounds at the 7, but a
Colts challenge showed he remained in bounds on the way to the
touchdown, and the Colts took the lead, 17–14. On the Chargers
ensuing drive, Rivers threw a 22-yard completion to Chambers and
followed it up with a 56-yard pass to running back
Darren Sproles, a special teams returner who
was brought in on offense as an extra receiver.
With 10:50 left in the fourth quarter, Indianapolis retook the lead
with Manning's 55-yard touchdown pass to
Anthony Gonzalez, who caught the ball along
the left sideline and narrowly managed to keep his feet in bounds
en route to a score, which was upheld after a Chargers challenge.
But San Diego, now led by second-string quarterback
Billy Volek, drove 78 yards in 8 plays and
scored with Volek's 1-yard touchdown run, giving them a 28-24 lead
with 4:50 left in regulation. Manning led the Colts down the field,
moving the ball 70 yards and converting a 4th down and 5 with a
16-yard completion to Clark. But he threw three consecutive
incompletions from the Chargers 7-yard line, turning the ball over
on downs. Indianapolis' defense managed to force a punt, but the
Colts turned the ball over on downs again with 53 seconds left and
San Diego ran out the rest of the clock.
It was the Colts' third consecutive loss to the Chargers and
Peyton Manning's seventh loss in
fourteen postseason games. The Colts also fell to 0-4 in playoff
games played in years where they had a first round bye.
