NFL Truths: Peyton’s a choker, LT is done in S.D.

10. Now that the Colts’ season has ended with another baffling playoff loss, it’s time to play the blame game in Indianapolis. Peyton Manning or Tony Dungy? I’ll point my finger at Peyton Manning, the best regular-season QB in NFL history.
If this is indeed the end for Tony Dungy, he accomplished exactly what the Colts hired him to do. He was resurrected from Tampa to make Indy’s defense good enough to win in the postseason.
In Indy’s last five playoff losses, the Colts surrendered 23, 28, 21, 20 and 24 points. The Jets bum-rushed Dungy’s first Indianapolis squad 41-0 in the postseason.
