The Indianapolis Colts officially have a reputation. With Andrew Luck at quarterback and Chuck Pagano in charge as the head coach, the Colts are a team known for their ability to mount large comebacks in the second halves of games.

Shoot, the Colts have such a knack for late, dramatic comebacks that even Hakeem Nicks is getting in on the act now that he is on the team.
That is what happened on Sunday night in Denver. With the Broncos slowing giving ground on what was once a 24-0 lead, the Colts created the opportunity to come within one score with less than five minutes to go. It was at that point that Luck fired a pass in Nicks’ direction in the endzone.
Broncos’ corner Tony Carter thought he had made a play and broken up the pass, but not so: Nicks snagged the deflection and scored the key touchdown to narrow the lead to 31-24.
Ultimately the Colts came up just short, but they still put the rest of the league on notice that they will be a team to be reckoned with this season. That statement is especially strong when Nicks is one of the guys making a play for you.
