description

In the AFC Championship Game between the Colts and Patriots, center Jeff Saturday had the kind of day that most offensive linemen can only dream of having. With the Colts trailing early in the fourth quarter, the Indianapolis running back lost the ball near the end zone, but Saturday was there to scoop it up and fall over the goal line for the game-tying touchdown. Later in the fourth, with the game on the line, Saturday pancaked the opposing nose tackle, opening up a huge hole for his running back to run through for the game-winning score. With Saturday's massive assistance, Indianapolis booked their ticket to the Super Bowl, beating New England 38-34 on Jan. 21, 2007.
