		The Jets overpowered the Colts in every aspect: when Curtis Martin and LaMont Jordan weren't abusing Indy's rush defense for 167 yards, Pennington was carving up the Colts' overmatched secondary with masterful play-action fakes and distribution (he completed passes to nine different receivers).
		On the Jets' fifth offensive play, Pennington's screen pass floated into Richie Anderson's hands and he rambled down the left side for a 56-yard score.

		WEEI radio station of Boston is reporting that Adam Vinatieri, New England Patriots Kicker and Super Bowl winner extraordinaire, may be moving on, and to an interesting new team - the Indianapolis Colts.

		Instead, the Patriots let Vinatieri test free agency, and it looks like Adam passed with flying colors, and the Pats have a bit of egg on their face.
