Indianapolis Colts (4-5) at Atlanta Falcons (6-3)

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman is out for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts with a concussion, the team announced.

Hasselbeck called it the “play to win the game” because that’s usually the case when you call Vinatieri a teammate.

I don’t believe this is a good matchup for Hasselbeck, and under no circumstances am I willing to accept that there’s no drop-off for the Colts when their stud QB is forced to sit, replaced by a 40 year old with wins over the Jags and Texans on his resume.

When Luck missed two games earlier this season with a sore shoulder, Hasselbeck finished with 282 yards and threw a touchdown pass to tight end Coby Fleener in a 16-13 win over Jacksonville in Week 4.

“The guy is wearing Depends and he’s just knocking down game-winners every week”, McAfee said. “It’s incredible to watch”.

“That’s why he is a first ballot Hall of Famer and why I’m the luckiest guy in the world to have him as a mentor”. “Just fortunate enough to make the play that presented itself and it was a huge play for us to win this game”. The NFL’s oldest player, kicker Adam Vinatieri at age 42 did what he always does and nailed a game-winning field goal with under a minute left in the game.

“Each one is exciting in its own way”, Vinatieri said of his long list of game-winning kicks.

The Falcons, who just lost to the Indianapolis Colts, are behind the Panthers at 6-4 with the Buccaneers trouncing the Philadelphia Eagles to bump them to 5-5 for the season as they try to catch Atlanta for a piece of the pie.

The six-yard interception return from Jackson tied the score at 21 and silenced the Georgia Dome, minus a section of blue-cladded Colts fans in the end zone where the pick six had just occurred.

Ryan said he did not see Jackson “popping back out off the line of scrimmage”.

“I have labelled myself as a pocket passer with the ability to run”, Newton said.

Colts quarterback Matt Hasselbeck continued his winning streak in place of the injured Andrew Luck with a 24-21 comeback win over the Falcons. It’s been a rough year for the Colts, but their resiliency after losing Luck and falling behind early on Sunday on the road should be praised and noted.

Allen said he wasn’t frustrated with the offense’s inability to score off the turnovers because, “we’re in it together”, regardless of the score. Jones is coming off fifth 100-yard receiving game of season…. Following the bye week, he suddenly re-emerged. Ryan threw three interceptions in Sunday’s loss to the Colts, and the Falcons turned it over four times in total.

“The main thing is I don’t think about balancing out passes”, Shanahan said.

Both of Ryan’s interceptions at Tennessee stemmed from the Falcons getting out-schemed and therefore out-executed.

Adam Vinatieri kicked a 43-yard field goal with 52 seconds remaining, and the Indianapolis Colts overcame a pair of two-touchdown deficits to beat the slumping Atlanta Falcons 24-21 on Sunday behind backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. Wide receiver Leonard Hankerson, who was active after missing three games with a hamstring injury, limped off the field after appearing to aggravate the injury late in the game.

Manusky is expected to assign Pro Bowl cornerback Vontae Davis the task of shadowing Jones much of the afternoon. The coverage didn’t affect Jones, who had nine catches for 160 yards as he again showed he can’t be stopped by one defender.
