How the Colts have a winning record continues to amaze me.
They only win when Luck doesn't play.

Sounds like Gronk is gonna be ok.
I'll gladly take the loss if it means he's back this year.
Of course had McDaniels just called a run on 1st down with 2:50 left and Denver with only 1 timeout, Gronk doesn't get hurt and they probably win the game as well. Sometimes they outsmart themselves.
I was surprised they threw it there, but it most likely wouldn't have mattered. They would have had to run another play before the 2 minute warning, and then Denver would have called their timeout on third down, and then the Pats would have punted with two minutes left. Plenty of time against a defense that was clearly not the same with Hightower out.
Brady actually was a bit lax in his clock management on that series, he snapped the ball with the clock running at 7 seconds on the play clock twice. Had he let that run down to 2 seconds or so each time, the snap on the Gronk injury could have come with under 2:40, meaning a run would take them to the 2 minute warning or forced Denver to burn its final timeout. Then 2nd down gets you to 2 minutes and no timeouts for Denver, and 3rd down takes you to about 1:15...plus they might even gain 10 yards on 3 rushes, a novel thought. Worst case scenario you punt it back and Denver is inside their own 20 with 1:10 or so and no timeouts. It was like the Pats became the Giants on that series, very uncharacteristic.
Holy Shit!
