However, the Colts not coming in as the favorite with a much maligned defense has seemed to fire them up.

They played a very sound game against a very tough Ravens defense. Vinitieri is also a huge addition for them. Knowing you can get 3 every time you make it to the 30-35 yard line is huge as points can be at a premium sometimes in the playoffs.

Yes, Viniteri is clutch, no doubt about it. They probably would've gotten to the Super Bowl last year if they had him then.
