The Indianapolis Colts were favored to beat the Tennessee Titans, yesterday. Why? In their earlier meeting, this year, the Colts eked a one point victory in the warmth of the RCA dome among the hometown crazies. Put the same two teams outside in 45 degree weather, in Nashville, put Vince Young at QB with his wandering ways and you've got a game! Forget the QBs for a minute. The game is tied with seconds to go and Coach Fisher wants to attempt a 60 yard field goal. But the Colts have one timeout remaining. If the Titans miss the field goal, Manning takes over at mid field, throws a sideline pass to (insert a name here), CALLS TIMEOUT, the Colts kick a field goal and win! Jeff Fisher put his field goal unit on the field, then put his punting team on the field, then put his field goal team back on the field. Dungy was so confused, all he could do was call a timeout (his last in regulation) so that he would not be penalized for too many men on the field. A peanalty would have made a field goal attempt "easier." Brilliant! In Nashville they are calling this the "Music City Miracle."
If a team is hungrier and smarter...miracles will happen.
