JOHN: Usually Peyton Manning gets rid of the ball quick enough that he doesn't get sacked. But the Steelers cover everybody long enough for James Farrior to break off his block and Manning just hits the turf. He sees him come unblocked and he just gets down.
AL: Right. Fourth down and a long 16 now. This is the Colts' last chance. Manning from under center with three receivers split wide. He gets the snap. Five man rush from the Steelers and he gets sacked again by Farrior and Porter! The Colts turn the ball over on downs inside their own five yard line.
JOHN: This is just a great play design by Dick LeBeau. The two linebackers line up at the B and C gaps, and then stunt the left tackle. Clark doesn't block anybody because he's running a pattern, and Von Oelhoffen gives the left tackle a little punch there before going after the guard, and Porter's just able to run past him for the sack. The Colts needed to keep another man at the line there.
HORATIO: It doesn't matter who's manning the line. In the end...you're gonna get beat by the blitz.
