You could have made an argument for several Colt players.

He had a forced fumble and an INT. However, I think he also missed a tackled on Thomas Jones that led to a 50 yard gain and an eventual TD. Still, he had a good game.

I like watching that guy play. Reminds me of Fred White on run support.

And he is one of the smallest guys on the defensive team for the Colts and he makes the biggest plays!

we all know i'm anti-peyton, so i want to preface my opinion with this. Peyton played a heck of a game, other than one HUGE blemish by totally missing the safety he played almost mistake free. congrats to him. he finally got that monkey off his back. he's proven me wrong.

that being said, sanders or even more so Rhodes IMO, deserved MVP. peyton did nothing worthy of MVP except play smart.

I don't think anyone on the Colts team had a supremely outstanding game. The whole team just played pretty well. Manning was as deserving as anyone. Rhodes played pretty well, but I think he was helped by the Bears' concern with the passing game.

As for Peyton playing smart, he had no reason to do anything spectacular. If it were necessary to do something more impressive in order to win the game, he would have done it. Watch the AFC championship.

i think the playing smart was what did it. and taking in to consideration he calls the vast majority of the playes, a good reason why Rhodes had the game he did was because of Manning........i'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, because i would have voted for Sanders personally, but i understand why he gets the nod....

My vote would have been between Peyton Manning and Dominic Rhodes.

i may be going out on a limb here, but me and some of my buddies i've made up here even talked about it. we've decided that he's not as big on calling all the plays anymore. i think dungy and whoever the actual OC is at indy helped. i just find it interesting that peyton's never called the type of games he's been calling in the playoffs. like i said, it's out on a limb.

Talk about a guy who changed that defense overnight. The Colts better make every effort to keep him in Indy.

I'm not positive, but I don't think he's a free agent yet.

From what I understand, on every snap he's given three or four plays and he picks one when he gets to the line of scrimmage and reads the defense.
