Just as Arizona was poised to take control of the game and take a 10-point lead, Cardinals RB Tim Hightower was walloped on a run inside the Indianoplis 10-yard line, and fumbled away any hopes of an Arizona touchdown.

Then, to make matters worse, Peyton Manning just marched the Colts 95 yards in the other direction, capitalizing on the turnover to take a 7-3 lead. After ten plays slowly chipped away at the Arizona defense, Manning hooked up with Reggie Wayne for 20-yard touchdown catch.
It may have taken a quarter-and-a-half, but after slow starts for both offenses, it looks like this shootout may yet live up to its billing, as both sides look to be in sync now.
