The Patriots had to overcome two Tom Brady interceptions, 141 yards in penalties and a raucous Colts crowd to put this one away but in the end it was Brady leading a furious charge to come back from 10 points with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and a 24-20 win.

Wes Welker, who was signed from Miami in 2005, where he was mostly used on special teams, was crucial to the win, in the 4th quarter he had a couple big third down conversions including the one that led the Pats to the 2 min warring giving the colts no way to stop the clock and securing the Patriots win. When playing against the Patriots on October 10th, 2004 with Miami, Welker became the second player in NFL history to return a kickoff and a punt, kick an extra point and a field goal, and make a tackle in a single game.

Rosie Colven also made a big play in the end by picking Manning and getting Brady and gang back on the field.

All and all it was a great game. Of course as is becoming the “norm” for the Pats, Colts games there were some extremely bad and unfair calls made by the refs, but watching the Pats come back from a 10 point deficit with only 9 mins left in the game was outstanding.

This win was important going into the bye week and we are now positioned for a 16 and 0 season.

In other news…

We rented the house!!! Hooray!!! We still have a little work to do. The new inside door has to be hung, we need to take out the stove a refrigerator, they are bringing their own, and the patches on the walls need to be sanded. But other than that it is livable and they will be moving in soon. The renters are even going to paint so we don’t have to worry about that. As a matter of fact they have already started. They haven’t given us the deposit yet but even if they don’t the worst that we will end up with is a free paint job. I guess we can live with that.

Until Later…
