Charger punter Mike Scifres put on the greatest display of punting I've ever seen! All of his six punts were fielded inside the 20 yard line of Indianapolis and five out of the six punts were on or inside the 10 yard line. He averaged over 52 yards a kick. Only two were returned for 6 yards.
Then the other obvious reason is the play of 5'6 Darren Sproles. He had over 300 all- purpose yards. Which means, he rushed for over a hundred yards, caught passes for 45 yards, and returned punts and kickoffs for 178 yards. In addition, Sproles scored the winning touchdown in overtime.
Indy's return team was horrible! Poor special team play killed the Colts. They will really have to address this weakness next season whether Tony Dungy returns or not...
