The Indianapolis Colts will need every lucky bounce if they want to take down the Denver Broncos on Sunday night and ruin Peyton Manning’s homecoming. Luckily, they got an incredible special teams play from fullback Stanley Havili, who ran down the sideline and found a way to strip Broncos return man Trindon Holliday before he ran out of bounds.
Thanks to the picture perfect strip, the ball stayed in bounds and the Colts recovered.
The refs initially ruled Holliday out of bounds, but the play was overturned and it was Colts ball.
Here is the spcial teams play that worked out perfectly for Indy, via GIFD Sports:
On the very next play, Andrew Luck tossed the ball to Darrius Heyward-Bey to give the Colts the early lead.
