Adam Vinatieri Has A Rare Bad Day

The Indianapolis Colts barely held off the Tennessee Titans for a 22-20 victory, continuing the recent trend of these two divisional rivals playing each other tough. Vinatieri had an extra point blocked early on in the first quarter. Blocked/missed extra points are always annoying because it seems like they always come back to haunt you. If the Titans would have managed to kick a last second field goal to win 23-22, it would have. It was a rare bad day for Vinatieri. In addition to having the extra point blocked, he had a field goal blocked which thumped against the cross-bar but still managed to go through. Adam Vinatieri actually appeared to be a little rattled later in the game by the two prior blocked kicks because he missed a field goal wide left in the 4th quarter.

It was a close, stressful game for Colts fans, especially toward the end. Blow-outs like the game last week against the Saints, if you've followed the Colts the last three years, don't happen very often. The Houston Texans won today, making them 2-0, possibly for the first time in their history (?); and they are the Colts' next opponent. That game probably won't be an easy one, either.
