Patriots' Rosie Colvin Owns Peyton Manning, City of Indianapolis

Joseph Addai might not be afraid of the New England Patriots, but he forgot to tell Peyton Manning the news. On a third-and-9 with just over two minutes to go, and trailing by four points, Manning gets sacked by Jarvis Green, fumbles in the process, and the ball finds Rosevelt Colvin.

The Pats scored 14 points in the final eight minutes to take the lead. Before this game, New England had only trailed eight minutes all season. Today, they trailed for 28 minutes. Unfortunately for the Colts, they still left Tom Brady enough time to work his magic.

Also, classy move by Colvin after the fumble recovery (the last few seconds of the YouTubage above). He was called for a delay-of-game penalty for spiking the ball. No biggie ... except he went out of his way to make sure he spiked the ball on Indy's helmet at midfield.

Nice touch, that (and to think, Rosie Colvin sold Sno Cones at the RCA dome as a kid). It looks like this bunch learned a very valuable lesson after Ellis Hobbs mocked the Chargers following last year's playoff game. (By the way, Mr. Referee, Rodney Harrison is very disrespected by you flagging him for the delay of game. VERY DISRESPECTED.)

That was the worst officiated game I have ever seen.
Offensive inteference on Moss, it should have been the other way. They blew the call by not calling interference on Faulk. They also called a phantom interference call on Hobbs in the first half

Seems like the calls that the Pats always got in the past went against them today. Amazing that they still pulled it out. Good teams overcome adversity.
Hoping to see the Steelers kill the perfect season in a couple weeks

Hey Ryan....Lets see the best you can come up with is someone disrespected your team...Blaa...Blaa..Blaa...You can't even say anything about the officials even though a lot of writters around the country realize that the officials tried to give it to the Colts...Your still a looser.

roger,

It's "loser." If you're going to call someone out, at least check your spelling. Otherwise you come off looking like a dolt.

Love how Pats fans turn this article about Colvin being a b*tch into a "Go Pats" post.

I'm not a fan of either team. However, the officiating issues seemed far too obvious. Exactly how the one Ref. could have called Randy Moss for "offensive pass interference" is beyond comprehension. Perhaps someone should check that Ref's bank account!

Oh sorry Ryan....Let me correct that spelling error I made...its prior not pror....wouldn"t want you to
spend your day looking for spelling errors instead of
putting some quality into your blogs.
