Matt Stover Is No Garrett Hartley

Matt Stover is no Garrett Hartley, that’s for sure.

Stover just missed a key 50 yard field goal that would have extended the Colts lead to four.

What’s interesting is that Adam Vinatieri, the Colts other inactive kicker, is usually the long-range guy. What’s also interesting is that right after he kicked it, Stover put his hands up thinking the kick was good.

Peyton Manning and the Colts started at their own 11 yard line and drove 54 yards to the Saints 33 yard line.

In a Bill Belichick-esque move, the Colts went for it on fourth and two.

Eerie!

They converted on a slant pass to Reggie Wayne.

However, Stover’s miss gives the Saints the ball back, in the fourth quarter, down 17-16.

Super Bowl XLIV is shaping up to be one to remember.
