While I like to see the wild card games, the most interesting matchups between NFL teams comes before the playoffs.
Indianapolis vs. Baltimore
Ray Lewis is back and the Baltimore Ravens now have something to be motivated by and play for. The news that this will be the last season for Lewis may mean that the Ravens want to send him off with a Superbowl. Injuries and motivation are common with Baltimore as well as a slackening of the small details as the season progresses. Andrew Luck and the Colts, however, are the opposite. As the postseason heats up, so do the Colts, aided by the hottest rookie QB and the return of Chuck Pagano, the Colts are expected to be sluggish in the first half, and then explode in the second half. For Indianapolis to seal the deal, the whole team concept has to come to bear with defense creating turnovers, and the offense turning small yards into large yardage gains.
At three minutes left in the game, it is very apparent that Andrew Luck came to play, but his receivers came to drop. Thrown to multiple receivers, and out of five tosses, four are either dropped, or hit in the hands for incomplete passes.
Up your game!
