Vinatieri's leg defeats Chiefs 13-10
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson hits Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Aaron Moorehead to prevent Moorehead from making a catch during the third quarter Sunday in Indianapolis. The Kansas City defense disrupted the Colts pass game, holding quarterback Peyton Manning to 163 passing yards and a 52.0 rating, in that the Colts still won on kicker Adam Vinatier's last second field goal.
INDIANAPOLIS — Colts kicker Adam Vinatiere spent all week ignoring the critics and then drowned out the boos Sunday afternoon.
Eventually, he silenced everyone with his usual late-game magic.
Vinatieri, last week's goat, overcame a subpar day to rescue the Colts, making a 24-yard field goal with 4 seconds left to give Indianapolis a desperately needed 13-10 victory over Kansas City.
"Every time you're out there, if something bad happens, you've got to be able to shrug it off and go back out there and forget about it if you can," Vinatieri said. "Don't let it linger longer than you have to."
For Vinatieri, the November slump had lingered long enough.
Last week, he missed a 29-yard attempt that could have beaten San Diego. That miss prompted speculation that Vinatiari may have lost his title as the NFL's best clutch kicker.
When he lined up for a 49-yard attempt in the first quarter, fans greeted him with boos. When he pushed the kick to the right, the chorus grew louder, and when he pulled his next attempt, a 38-yarder, to the left, the decibel level again rose.
He missed his first field goal ever inside the RCA Dome against New England two weeks ago.
When it mattered most, however,
Vinatieri was himself. He played
through the soreness in his plant foot to tie the score at 3 with a 27-yarder late in the first half, drawing mock cheers, then won it with the 24-yarder that finally brought the crowd to its feet.
Peyton Manning again looked ragged with Marvin Harrison (bruised left knee) out for the fourth straight week, and the Chiefs (4-6) took advantage of Indy's makeshift line.
"He's one of the last guys I'd be worried about," coach Tony Dungy said. "I think the law of averages will swing back our way, and I'd be surprised if he misses again this year."
Suddenly, Vinatieri had missed four in a row, his longest streak since missing three straight in 1999.
But the Colts (8-2) were missing more than Vinatier's consistency.
At halftime, Manning's passer rating was only 23.4, and despite a masterful closing drive to set up Vinatieri's winning kick, Manning still finished only 16-0-32 for 163 yards with one interception and a 52.0 rating.
Still, it was good enough to extend the Chiefs' losing streak to three.
"We've got to get to the point where we stop people," said Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen, who deflected four passes and was in the backfield almost as much as Colts running back Joseph Addai. "We've got to win the close games."
Brodie Croyle, making his first NFL start, was 19-of-27 for 169 yards with one touchdown, but he also lost

a fumble that set up Vinatieri's first field goal. The numbers suggested he actually outplayed Manning, but the scoreboard told Croyle something else — the Chiefs must get better.

"I felt comfortable out there," he said. "But we obviously didn't move the ball well enough. You learn something every time you go out there."
Indianapolis managed only 73 yards in the first half, marking the first time this season it had not produced a first-half touchdown. Yet thanks to Croyle's fumble and Vinatieri's field goal, the Colts were still tied with the Chiefs 3-3.
In the second half, it appeared the
offenses would right themselves.
Manning finally took the lead with 6:47 left, marching the Colts all the way to the Kansas City 2-yard line before taking a knee three times and then giving Vinatieri a chance at redemption.
Croyle answered with a niffy pass to Dwayne Bowe on the side of the end zone. Bowe did a spectacular toe-tapping dance along the sidelines and hung onto the ball with his knees, which stood up to Dungy's challenge, to tie the score at 10.
Manning went to Addai eight times on a nine-play drive in the third quarter, and Addai scored on a 3-yard run to give India a 10-3 lead.
