One incomplete Hail Mary pass kept the Colts from the Super Bowl last season. Now they are out to prove that that performance wasn't a fluke. The offense is lead by QB Jim Harbaugh, the leading passer in the NFL last season, RB Marshall Faulk, who rushed for over a thousand yards despite an injury, and WR Sean Dawkins. Rookie WR, Marvin Harrison looks to make a contibution immediately. The offensive line is rebuilt and may provide Harbaugh more time. The defense is anchored by DL Tony MacCoy, LB Quinton Coryatt, CB Ray Buchanan. The defense kept the Colts in every game they played last year and looks to be better this year. The special team with K Cary Blanchard and P Chris Gardoki is solid. Pundits give the Colts little chance of repeating last season's success but if they stay away from injuries, they may complete that pass and play in the big one next January.
