You might have read an article a few weeks ago on this website that stated the Indianapolis Colts probably will not have a perfect season. Well the Colts are three victories away from proving me wrong. I was only referring to the regular season; besides it will be tough to defeat them in the NFL Playoffs, especially with home field advantage throughout the postseason.

It would be disheartening for members of the team and fans of the Indianapolis Colts, if Coach Tony Dungy decides to sit his starters for any other reason than a secure win. This would be the equivalent of the horse, Secretariat not running for the last leg of the Triple Crown. Besides, when you have a chance to make history, it is important to seize the moment. No team in NFL history has won 16 regular season games. I honestly believe Dungy might agree with me. Now he might be more willing to pull a starter if they get up slow, but so would I!

Thirty-three years ago, the 1972 Miami Dolphins were the last NFL team to go undefeated throughout the entire season. The Colts have to meet the San Diego Chargers tomorrow, a very dangerous team, because they are coming off an embarrassing loss to the current Miami Dolphins, who might still lose to the 1972 team, even if some of their players are 60 years old. (Just kidding!)

It would be sweet justice for Coach Tony Dungy if the Colts win every game this season, including Superbowl XL. Remember four year ago, Dungy was booted out of Tampa Bay, and that team won the Superbowl the next year. All of his hard work and dedication to the Buccaneers' organization, however no Championship Ring of his own. I hope the Colts can keep winning, yet it will be tougher for the rest of the season, given that every team wants to play spoiler.
