Manning 17/26 193 1 1
Grossman 6/8 32 1
Addai/Rhodes 64
Jones/Benson 63

Colts 257
Bears 95

Opening KO return for TD was BIG and Bears still in game with these stats. Bears are in the game and can win.

Colts could really apply pressure with a TD to open 2nd half.

After all we have seen, my gut actually leans Bears to win.

We will see.

Re: Halftime numbers

Also Mr. Money missing that FG to end half was odd and a pretty big miss. May be the play that costs Indy the win.

Re: Halftime numbers

True, General, but WITHOUT the opening KO return, they are down 16-7. I don't like the way the Bears' offense is playing right now. Despite the TO's they are forcing, they're having problems moving the ball. I have to think that the more their defense is on the field, no matter how good they are, and the more Peyton has the ball in his hands, the less likely they are to win.

But, like you said, we will see; that's why they play the games. I am definitely rooting for the Bears to win.

And on a side note, this halftime show really, really sucks...

Re: Halftime numbers

but WITHOUT the opening KO return

It was a good football play just as an 80 yard TD pass and it is there to deal with. I am having fun here and hope the best team wins.

Take care buddy

Re: Halftime numbers

True, I was just trying to say that they are not really capitalizing on opportunities and almost taking those TO's and that KO return for granted. Bears are getting the ball now, and hopefully they can put together a nice drive.

Re: Halftime numbers

Bears have just over 115 yards offense but are still SO much alive.

Makes for a heck of a game

Re: Halftime numbers

Big FG by the Bears, and big play review on Harrison's 'catch'. A stop by the Bears D on this drive would be huge.

Re: Halftime numbers

Rhodes looked like Dorsett in the 33 for awhile. Just an observation and flashback. Harrison's catch was great. Glad for replay.

Peyton Manning Finally Wins the Big Game As Colts Beat Bears 29-17 in Super Bowl.


MIAMI Feb 4, 2007 (AP)? A wet and wild Super Bowl, the winning conditions for Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts. A team built for indoors found its footing on a rain-soaked track and outplayed the Chicago Bears to win the NFL title 29-17 Sunday night.

The Colts were far less sloppy, particularly their star quarterback, who proved he can indeed win the big game the biggest game.

That's what it was for Tony Dungy, too. He became the first black coach to win the championship, beating good friend and protege Lovie Smith in a game that featured two black coaches for the first time in Super Bowl history.

It was a game of firsts: the first rainy Super Bowl and the first time an opening kickoff was run back for a touchdown when sensational Bears rookie Devin Hester sped downfield for 92 yards.

And not since the Buffalo Bills self-destructed with nine turnovers in losing to Dallas 14 years ago had there been so much messiness. The first half was marred by six turnovers, three for each team. Even football's most clutch kicker, Adam Vinatieri, missed a chip-shot field goal, and an extra point attempt was botched, too.

The second half wasn't quite so ugly, but when much-maligned Bears quarterback Rex Grossman's wobbler was picked off and returned 56 yards for a touchdown by Kelvin Hayden with 11:44 remaining, it was over.

Chicago (15-4), which led the league in takeaways this season, finished with five turnovers, including two interceptions by Grossman.

The Colts (16-4) will take it. It's their first title since the 1970 season, when they played in Baltimore.

Manning ended up 25-for-38 for 247 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.

It was confirmation of his brilliance, even if he didn't need to be dynamic. The son of a quarterback who never got to the playoffs, Manning has been a star throughout his college career at Tennessee and his nine pro seasons with the Colts.

Now he is a champion.

It also was a validation of Dungy's leadership. He helped build Tampa Bay, one of the NFL's worst franchises, into a contender before being fired after the 2001 season. The next year, the Bucs won the Super Bowl under Jon Gruden.
