Yesterday afternoon was a game that was anticipated as the best matchup ever in NFL history. Others even called the game Super Bowl 41 1/2. The game was between the New England Patriots (8-0) and the Indianapolis Colts (7-0). The 2 combined undefeated records was the highest between opponents in history. I made sure that I tuned in for the game, and I was not disappointed.

I was amazed that the game was based on what defense was going to be able to control the other's offense. I expected that both offenses were going to be able to roll over the opponent's, and the outcome of the game was going to be from the team that did not make a mistake. For most of the game however, the Colts looked like the dominant team while New England made a few bad mistakes and really was losing because of penalties. With 2 crucial scoring drives and a key fumble recovery by the Patriots, New England was able to keep their undefeated record going.

Who gets the game ball? I really do not think one can be given out for this week. Brady had a good week with 255 yards, 3 TDs, and 2 INTs, but the defense did a great job keeping the Colts from putting up a major amount of points in the game. It was a tough win, so maybe anyone for the Patriots that did not have a penalty on them should get the game ball this week!
