The Colts continue to score points as well but not always through the air. Running backs Joseph Addai and Kenton Keith have combined for 936 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. The Colts lead the NFL with 12 rushing touchdowns. "New England is a different challenge for us because they've got a lot of guys who can make plays," Dungy said. "So far, so good, but it's going to be tougher against these guys." The Colts have never been thought of as having a defense but this year has been different. The Colts are giving up 14.6 points per game, compared to 15.9 by New England. The Colts have the NFL's best pass defense. Last year in the AFC Championship game the Patriots blew a 21-3 lead. "They're unbeaten and they're the Super Bowl champions," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "Until someone beats them, they're the best team in the league.”
