Week 13: Colts 27 Titans 17
Haiku Count: 1455
Upset that wasn’t
Six loss team unfit equal
to unbeaten Colts.
Swarming Colt defense
Kept Johnson & Young in check
with two fourth down stands.
Late in half, punch thrown.
Undisciplined and stupid.
Titans gift: three points.
Addai sustains drives.
No splash, but plenty of dash.
Keep moving the chains.
Week 14: Colts vs Broncos
Tale of two equines
Both with plans for post-season
One’s skittish; one runs.
Regular season
Twenty-one wins ties record
History next week?
Former Patriot
has castoffs clicking out West.
Will they cheat and whine?
Ex-Boiler Orton
will receive a warm welcome
Freeney’s outstretched arms.

Week 12: Colts 35 Texans 27
Haiku Count: 1447
Sign says, “Play 60.”
Texans celebrate at half
Colts at end of game.
Up two scores early
Against Colts no lead is safe
They finish. They close.
Big hit. Snot-knocker!
Texans thump chests, pose for crowd.
Colts quick snap; big play.
Safety more than name
Errant fluttering pass nabbed
Antoine Bethea.
Week 13: Colts vs Titans
Titanic savior?
Did Young earn five game win streak
or defense, run game?
Runaway freight train
Engine stoked, full head of steam
Johnson blasts through line.
Seems crazy, yes, but
Best way to contain Vince Young
is to make him pass.
TItans haven’t lost
Since coach donned Manning’s jersey.
Sunday, it comes off.
