This game really should not have been this close
And I say that because of the refs. I too try not to blame games on the refs, calls tend to even out, but not today.
Three HORRIBLE calls. The two "hitting a defenseless WR", WTF are you supposed to do, just not hit them until they have the catch and are on the ground, and one of the defensive holding calls was horrible. Meanwhile, Hilton was getting held and mugged ALL DAY and they were making no calls at all. And he still gets 200 yards. Joseph CLEARLY was all over him on two plays, from start to finish of his route, and they made no calls.
I thought this was a good complete game all around. The run game was the weak spot, but otherwise the coaching, offensive, defense all played well against an AFC playoff team that had the longest winning streak of the season.
If not for that shit call to overturn the INT in the end zone, Colts would have won this going away.
