With the exception of a 31-0 beating of the Bills and a 31-10 rout of the Eagles in Week 2, the Patriots have won a bunch of close games. Only six victories came by more than eight points.
If the Colts win the Super Bowl, Tony Dungy will join Mike Ditka and Tom Flores as the third to win rings as players and coaches.

Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander loves prime time. He has averaged 5.4 yards a carry with seven rushing touchdowns in four prime-time games since 2001.
Explain this one: The Chiefs won 13 games but allowed a league-worst 5.2 yards per carry.
