Week 9: Colts 20 Texans 17 Haiku Count: 1423
Missing 3 DBs
Rookies asked to learn on job
and they deliver!
So much for pitch count.
Forty first half pass attempts!
Jello-armed Manning
Red flag at goalline
Powers hops in bounds, grabs ball.
Touchback at twenty.
Channeling Norwood
Clutch kick pushed wide left by Brown
Team of cows; one goat.
Week 10: Colts vs Patriots
Both teams once doormats
Now nation tunes in to see
Football’s best rivals.
If anyone can,
Brady will expose defense
Inexperience.
Gone are the days of
Pats intimidation. fear
Colts know they can win.
Super Bowl redux?
Freeney, Mathis storm the gates
Footsteps of Giants.

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.
