Steelers/Colts game question:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

I didn't watch the game, but I understood that Peyton Manning "overrode" or "waved off" coach Dungy's decision to punt on two fourth downs in the game, which I understand neither one was converted... aside from issues of the coach's authority, how badly did these decisions hurt the Colts in the game?

1. -

I didn't watch the game either. But what I remember reading was Peyton overrode one 4th down punt decision, converted, and they went on to score a TD on the drive.

2. that's correct--it happened once and the 4th down play was successful

and the final result of the drive was a touchdown.

3. Yes. It was a good decision

4. for a while it looked like it might really be a turning point

momentum took a huge swing after that.
