Indianapolis Colts 19, Houston Texans 16
Never in the NFL, ever, has a team with 1 win beaten a team with 10 or more wins. Until last night! The Dolts, reeling from their first win of the year, can't recover and win another before they know what's happening. Down 16-12 with 2 minutes to go, Dan Orlovsky completes at 40 yard rocket to Reggie Wayne, placing the Dolts deep in Texan territory with a shot to win the game. WTF?? Indy is not used to this. But never fear, as the Texans, who are not interested in the Dolts winning the Andrew Luck Moldy Carpet Sweepstakes, commit 3 penalties, one of which was just about the lamest call I've ever seen, so the refs were in on it, too. After all the yellow flags were retrieved, and the artificial turf settled, the Dolts were at the 1 yard line with 19 seconds to go.
Orlovsky then ended the whole thing with a pass to Reggie Wayne in the end zone. The only thing left to do was to fight over who got the game ball. Wayne and Orlovsky played hot potato for a couple minutes, but Orlovsky took it home.
Dolts rack up an astronomical 320 yards of offense and win their second in a row, which just about no other Doormat has done all year. Their street cred is suddenly shaky. AND MORE IMPORTANT, it's a TIE for first in the Doormat Division!!
Dolts 2-13
Lambs 2-12
Yikings 2-12
Tomorrow is HUGE. the Lambs are at Pittsburgh, with Big Ben most likely sitting this one out and Charlie Batch fumbling around at QB for the Steelers. This gives the Lambs a ghost of a chance. Better start rattling them chains, guys. It's still a tall order. Kellen Clemens gets the call at QB for the Lambs. Lambs still lead the league in giving up long gainers, so just spin a bottle on your Steelers roster, there, and pick somebody to go long.
The Yikings have the Deadskins, and they could actually win that game. It's a toss-up. With the Dolts facing the Gaguars in their final tilt, they could 'win out' the season (try not to laugh, ok?) and finish out of the Moldy Carpet and no Andrew Luck. And no Matt Barkley, because he's staying at USC.
Looks like the Lambs could be ruining Luck's life next season, with Josh McDaniels, the evil mastermind of poorly developed quarterbacks, taking on the mentoring duties. Actually, I doubt the Lambs draft Luck. But, improbably, the Lambs now have the inside track to the Moldy Carpet.
AMAZING!!
