Oh, OK. But the way that you worded it implied that Stover didn't carry his weight.

Now that you mention it, a 51-yard FG attempt 16 years ago would be like a 55-yard FG attempt today. 60-yard attempts are not uncommon today, but they were back then. The Colts probably should have gone for it on 4th down with Manning and the offense in that situation.
