A quick point about the impact of T.O. as well.
First up it wasn't the just banged up secondary responsible for shutting down the Colts, the weather played a huge part in that along with the great game plan. Owens was taken out of the game by backup rookie Dexter Ried who was left in man coverage too many times as the Pats hurried and harried McNabb with 4 and often 5 blitzing LBs. The Eagles should have been able to make them pay for that but just didn't .
