Tom Brady threw as many turnovers in Sunday's game as he has thrown all season. The Pats were outplayed in three quarters. This game marked the first time they did not score first, and that they trailed at the half. The Colts managed to do what no other NFL team can even begin to dream of doing- they made Tom Brady look human...and the Patriots still WON. This my friends means that if the Patriots won this game with all these cards stacked against them, not to mention they played in the leave-and-go-deaf dome in Indianapolis, no other team will beat them this season.
More importantly, watching this game, which ESPN reports received the highest ratings in more than a decade, made us all ask the question "What is wrong with every other NFL team?" Watching this game was markedly different than watching any other. When the teams make it to the red-zone, you typically don't have to bite your nails wondering if they'll ever make it ten yards to get seven. These teams are head and shoulders above the rest.
Although Pittsburgh looked very good on Monday night, they were playing Baltimore who is struggling mightily for lack of anything that resembles an offense. Any other team is going to have to recruit a divine power itself to compete with the Colts, let alone the Patriots. Should they receive Lombardi now?
