"Let’s keep running the ball. We gotta run the ball.”

I’m watching “Inside the NFL” on HBO right now. They are showing the highlights of Rams-Colts Monday night game, including excerpts from a miced-up Peyton Manning. After falling behind 17-0 (sound familiar?) and finding little success in the passing game, Manning and the Colts switched tactics. In the huddle he told is offense, “They’re playing pass all day, let’s keep running the ball. We gotta run the ball.” And they did.

James ended up with 143 yards at 6.3 ypc and three TDs, and the Colts outscored the Rams 43-10 the rest of the way.

Maybe Manning was onto something?
