Week 4: Colts 34 Seahawks 17
 Haiku Count: 1391
Bane to quarterbacks,
Robert Mathis rips ball free
on half of his sacks.		 When thrown his first bone
Collie dives like frisbee dog
Over shoulder score!
Out for season?
Freeney quaffs healing potion
Sunday, he breathes fire.		 Edge returns a foe
But met with hero’s welcome.
Standing ovation.
Week 5: Colts vs Titans
Four weeks without win
Beware the wounded rival.
Season slips away.		 True test of progress
After Dolphin debacle
Can Colts stop Slash, Dash?
Volunteer spirit
Backups step up; Defense depth
Powers plays like vet.		 Tennessee two-step.
Manning steps up in pocket,
finds the open man.

Week 2: Colts 27 Dolphins 24
 Haiku Count: 1375
Manning, the Time Lord
Dolphins, Daleks can’t stop him
Clock bends to his will.		 Snap fingers two times
Garcon serves winning entree
Bubble screen surprise.
Colts add beef to line
Wider does not mean smarter
Gashed, thrashed by Wildcat		 Unitas would love
Modern-day field general
Leading late game charge.
Week 3: Colts vs Cardinals
If Cards were watching
Warner should save throwing arm
Hand off left, then right.		 Doormat to diva.
Super Bowl year fluke for Cards?
As I see it, yes.
To keep defense fresh
Ponies must run more, pass less
Tired legs make mistakes		 Depleted DBs
Sanders, Jackson, Powers out.
Fitz must be drooling.
