So, he should have confidence in his defense to shut down possibly the greatest QB of all time, but not in his highly touted offense to pick up 2 yards?
Keep in mind, the NE defense was gassed and surrendered 300 yards and 2 TDs to Manning at that point. Not to mention 92 yards and a TD on the ground.
Tom Brady before that play had 375 yards, 3 TDs. the running backs had 110 yards and 1 TD. The Colts defense looked every bit as gassed as the Pats.
I don't think it would have been a terrible call to punt, but I think going for it was a slightly better idea.
