Even as we say “Congratulations” to the New Orleans Saints, who beat the Colts 31 to 17 to become the 2010 Super Bowl champions, we want to say a big “Thank you” to the Indianapolis Colts, winners of the AFC Championship!

In the 2008 season, despite having a quarterback still recovering from knee surgery, the Indianapolis Colts managed to place 2nd in the AFC South and score a wild card berth in the playoffs. The Colts are starting out the 2009 season strong offensively and defensively, and they’ve addressed their one weakness, the center of the team’s run defense. Keyunta Dawson is moving from defensive tackle to defensive end, with the super-sized Fili Moala taking over the DT position. That means that the Colts are early favorites in the AFC and are expected to go deep into the playoffs. If you want to catch one of the best teams in the league, then don’t wait to get your tickets to Lucas Oil Stadium. Everyone will want tickets to see the Colts live in 2009.
