Fine four.(NFL Conference Championship Preview)(Brief Article)
12 ... 8 ... 4.
The countdown to Super Bowl 38 in Houston has reached the semifinal stage: Indianapolis at New England in the AFC championship game and Carolina at Philadelphia for the NFC title.
No player has performed better in this postseason than Colts, quarterback Peyton Manning, who has erased all doubts that he can win a big-time game. Manning has passed so superbly--a combined 44-of-56, for 681 yards and eight touchdowns with no interceptions in two games--Hunter Smith hasn't had to attempt one punt. It's like Hunter the punter has entered a witness protection program.
Now comes Bill Belichick, the only man who might have the antidote for Manning. Since Belichick became head coach of New England in 2000, the Patriots have beaten the Colts four times in five meetings, including a 38-34 victory in Indianapolis this season. For Manning and the Colts to reverse that trend, they'll have to beat a Patriots team--on the road, possibly in arctic-like temperatures--that hasn't lost since September 28.
