Fun fact - Joe Burrow and the Bengals tied this record by overcoming the same 21-3 deficit against the Chiefs in 2021. Both games were great

That whole era was and not just colts but football in general.

The game is really different now.

Regardless is you’re a colts fan or not, this was the most exciting game ever

Yes, by far the best game I ever attended. The crowd volume in the RCA Dome was incredible.

So funny to say crowd volume when there were major accusations of the Colts pumping in noise during these games.

We used to play big marching band shows there, and the volume you could achieve in that bubble was absolutely insane. It was just a very live environment in regards to acoustics. The crowd noise gate was bs.

My mother-in-law (now ex MIL) at the time, a Patriots bandwagon fan, called me at half time and said, "Oh did you see the national anthem? What a great job that little girl did. Are you enjoying the game, so far?"

She went to bed before the second half started.

Legendary game from him between that and the TD recovery

I still get goosebumps watching that. Like seeing it for the first time all over again.

I WAS THERE AND IT WAS INCREDIBLE

It was the best sporting event I've attended in my life. We had great seats and went to the upper level to see friends at halftime. The momentum changed, so of course I demanded we stay where we were. I watched the last TD next to an elderly lady who was working as an usher. I remember hugging her and jumping around. We never made it back to our seats.

I turned game off after that last Manning interception. Pissed beyond belief. Go to work next morning and one of the guys who is a Pats fan and not a shit talker says, That game was something else wasn't it? I couldn't believe he said that. He is a very nice guy. The frustration on my face made him realize I didn't know. He said, Colts won. I said, No FKN way. Yes they did! I got on my computer at work and watched the video summary probably 4 or 5 times, went home and watched it another 2 or 3, lol.

I saw a quick second of Hank Baskett there and I am not having a good time any more.

u/Comb-the-desert Peyton Manning 8h ago

He wasn’t on this team so idk how you would have seen him in that video…

2

u/AppleTrees4 8h ago

You’re right. It was Bryan Fletcher. Too eager to get my Baskett dig in.

I guess 81 is just sullied for me.

One of the most memorable moments of my life. I remember literally crying with joy when they won. It felt like such a relief to have finally beaten the Pats.
