Are you ready for some Football?!? (NFL)

That last interception took the wind out of Chicago's sails.

And this game is just about over. Excellent performance by the Colts D.

Indy pulled it off. Congratulations to the Colts!

w00t!

I'm interested in seeing who is going to be MVP. Probably Manning. I picked Bob Sanders before the game...

Since the award wouldn't go to two players (Addai and Rhodes should share it), then Manning will probably get it. Guess we'll see.

MVP should have been whichever Colt returned the INT for the touchdown. That was the single most important play of the game, I think.

Manning awarded MVP.

With so many big plays by the whole team, the award typically goes to the QB and rightfully so.

Yeah, the QB is pretty much the default if there are no other standouts.

And, let's face it, Manning played a hell of a game. He really took control after that early TD. Of course, the Colts D did a hell of a job, too.

Yeah, I thought the MVP had to go to Manning; he had a pretty good game in pure stats, but I didn't see any dominating line play or superlative, LT/Barry Sanders/Walter Payton-esque individual play from the running backs. I saw a defense stacked to avoid getting burned by Peyton to Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, and Marvin Harrison; Rhodes and Addai ran well (and Addai caught a lot of passes) in part because of fear of Peyton.
