 CNNSI.com - 2003 NFL Playoffs - Pennington picks apart Colts in Jets' 41-0 victory - Saturday January 04, 2003 10:43 PM
The touchdown was the longest of his 10-year career, the longest this season for the Jets and the longest scoring play from scrimmage in their playoff history.
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.
The Colts go from the most accurate kicker in NFL history in Mike Vanderjagt (who was not re-signed by the Colts this off-season and is currently a free agent) with the most clutch kicker in NFL history.
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.

 Baltimore Ravens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Conversely, many Baltimore fans, who are still bitter about the Colts football team moving from Baltimore to Indianapolis, Indiana in 1984, along with many of the Colts' former players, view the pre-1984 Baltimore Colts organization and the Ravens as one continuous entity.
The history of the Baltimore Ravens is unusual due to the unprecedented actions taken by the cities of Baltimore and Cleveland, Ohio, and the NFL in 1996.
In the 2005 offseason the Ravens looked to augment their receiving corps (which was second-worst in the NFL in 2004) by signing Derrick Mason from the Titans and drafting star Oklahoma wide receiver Mark Clayton in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft.

 NFL - AFC East
And two weeks ago, in the AFC Divisional round of the playoffs, the favored Indianapolis Colts, led by the most cerebral quarterback in the game, Peyton Manning, pranced into Foxboro as if they owned the Pats, when recent history would prove contrary.
Slightly ironic that the Colts ended up losing before even getting to the AFC Championship Game, self-imploding to none other than the Patriots in the Divisional round, where the illustrious Manning was held to three points while the Patriots' offense ran circles around the Colts perplexed defense.
Tight AFC- The AFC was the exact opposite of the NFC this year, with non-stop action as just about every team jockeyed for a playoff position.

Yes, the Steelers won a playoff game in 1984, but other than that, the whole decade was a wash. It was so amazing to finally witness a great moment in team history again, and it was only fitting that it came on the final day of what nearly was a lost decade.
One of the greatest games in Steelers history had to be the 1995 AFC Championship Game.

"For me, I didn't know that much about him until I started reading and hearing some things and then doing the research on it," said Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy, one of six black head coaches in the league today.
To commemorate his efforts in football, the Black Coaches Association has named its award given to the college or professional coach of the year after him, and the Fritz Pollard Alliance was established in 2003 to promote minority hiring in the NFL.
Eleanor Pollard Towns was a freshman at West Virginia State in 1940 when another student rushed up to her to talk about her father, Fritz Pollard, the first black head coach in NFL history.
