The Indianapolis Colts 2009 season started off with a close win against the Jacksonville Jaguars and a remarkable win on Monday Night Football against the Miami Dolphins, with a score of—12.
The Colts travel to Miami to face the Dolphins on Monday Night Football. The Dolphins, winners of the AFC East in 2008, opened up their season on a sour note with a loss in Atlanta to the Falcons and will look to rebound from their week 1 loss.
The Colts are loaded on offense with WR Reggie Wayne, WR Pierre Garcon, WR Anthony Gonzalez, TE Dallas Clark, RB Joseph Addai, RB Donald Brown and of course QB Peyton Manning.
While Joseph Addai had a down year in 08′, many expect him to regain his form from 07′ and be a major contributor this season. Rookie RB Donald Brown should be able to help Addai get some breathing time during games.
Gonzalez, an up and coming wide receiver whose role was seen as all the more important this season after the loss of Marvin Harrison, was injured in week one and it appears that he’ll be missing the entire season due to this injury.
This is a tough loss for a Colts team that is suddenly not too deep at the wide receiver position for the first time in several years.
Additionally, the effectiveness of Joseph Addai still comes under question after he followed up a great 2007 season with a disappointing 2008 campaign that saw him falling short of expectations and struggling.
The Monday night game at Miami is a must win for the Indianapolis Colts. Expect Manning to rise to the occasion, that’s usually what he does!
