"Then, with the season on the line, Manning drove the Colts to the Pittsburgh 28 but missed Wayne on two straight throws. Manning figured Vanderjagt would force overtime.
"'When you’re down three and you get to that distance, you feel like it’s a safe field-goal distance, so you try to go for the win,' Manning said. 'You try to be aggressive and try to win the game.'”
A 46-yarder is a safe field goal distance? Vanderjagt is 15th of 31 NFL kickers from 40-49 yards, hitting 7 of 8. However, he has a history of choking at the big moment.
Overall, an interesting read. One has to wonder how many more years manning has with the offensive juggernaught that surrounds him. Harrison, James, and that O-Line might start to look around for a QB with "what it takes" to win the big one.
