Kuharksy details one of the aspects of the Colts that is so hard to stop
Asked about Peyton Manning’s ability to mount the sort of march that deflates an opponent and stops short of setting off a ceremony marking the game’s official momentum change, Cooper Manning shrugged and talked louder.
“The last two minutes?” Cooper Manning said, turning so his voice would carry far enough to be overheard by his target. “One time when he was playing basketball, he was a sophomore, and we had less than two minutes, like 1:08. And the other team is counting, ‘Eight, seven, six’ but it was a minute eight. Peyton threw it the length of the court and hit the top of the shot clock, and so they got the ball.
“So inside two minutes, I’ve always felt he panics.”
That set off a good round of laughs in the Colts’ locker room, where a 30-17 win over the New York Jets and the AFC Championship was in hand. With those things, a trip to south Florida for Super Bowl XLIV had been secured.
