Week 10: Colts 35 Patriots 34
Haiku Count: 1431
Angry football gods
Punish Patriot hubris
with classic comeback.
Intimidation
tables turned on Patriots
Intimidated
Like burning field turf
Pats show flashes of brilliance
Flame out in the end
Fearing Manning’s arm
Pat’s coach acts with heart not head.
The Boston Blunder
Young players picked on
Mistakes lead to second chance
Composure regained.
Despite high score
game should have been out of reach
Defense never quits.
Players won’t say it.
Some games define a season
This will be the one.
Single coverage
Reggie fakes fade, runs the slant
Epic comeback catch
Week 11: Colts vs Ravens

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.
