no one's saying luck is the reason they won. they are obviously the best team in the AFC and they dominated today. all we are talking about is how every time manning threw a pick or the ravens got a big play on offense something went the colts' way. it's not a hard concept to grasp. Yep. 17-3 and Manning tosses up a pick, but Ed Reed, normally a smart football player, fails to account for the possibility that someone might strip the ball from him from behind, so the Colts get it back. Then Manning tosses up another pick and Reed takes it deep into Colts' territory, but a Ravens player commits a dumb interference penalty that was unnecessary because the ball was tossed into double coverage anyway. If either of those picks had stood, 17-10 could have changed the complexion of that game. But that's why the Ravens were the 6 seed and the Colts were the 1 - because the Colts don't do that. They are almost maddeningly machine-like in their ability to avoid backbreaking mistakes and kill opponents for theirs.
