From my vantage point, this rivalry sort of “rose to the top” at a time where there was a vacuum in the NFL. No more 49ers, Cowboys, Packers, Broncos running roughshod. Some parity at the turn of the century… Baltimore, Tennessee, Indy, New England, Jacksonville, St. Louis, Philly, Tampa were all finding success. These two teams (after this game) had a Vice grip on the league for a while. Also, interesting to see this in high def.

Did you know the Colts were responsible for 2 league rules to change thanks to their games against the Patriots in this game and 2004 AFC Division Game After this game both Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy went to the league and felt the Patriots fake their injuries to slow down their momentum and use the strategy that if Indy scored they would have time on the clock this led to that if a team had an injured player under two minutes they had to burn a time out and if an opponent had no timeouts and use players to fake injury it would be a 10 sec run off with a 15 yard unsportsmanlike. In the 2004 Division Round The Colts lost to the Patriots 20-3. Dungy and the Colts organization came to the league and stated that the Patriots would jam the Colts Receivers for 10 yards and they felt 10 yards of jamming a WR gave WR no chance to get open this led to the current rule that is known as the Dungy Rule "a Corner Back or Safety or any defender covering a WR only has 5 yards to press a receiver after 5 yards defenders must not press or hold any WR this could lead to either a 10 yard holding penaly or a spot foul pass interference"
