The Colts style of play mentioned in this article is merely a response to opponent's defensive tactics. Both teams the Colts played (Balt. and KC) used a wide, deep zone defense. This defense is specificly designed to shut down the deep pass. However, this style of D leave the running lanes and short passing lanes open. The Colts are merely taking what the defense gives them. If the Pats try to blitz and leave one of the Colts' receivers in 1 on 1 coverage you will see the Peyton throw the long ball in a heartbeat.

No it isn't. The Colts have Adam Vinatieri, who won three Super Bowls with his foot.

They're just copying the Patriots successful game plan of previous years.

But Belicheck will change the plan and the Colts will lose.

Either way, the winner of this game will also win the Super Bowl.
