INDIANAPOLIS – Like the sheriff who used to patrol the RCA Dome, no deficit is too large for an old gunslinger.
About a mile from where Peyton Manning erased an 18-point deficit for the Indianapolis Colts to beat the New England Patriots, David Boudia found himself in a similar spot. With four dives to go, he trailed by 28.
No panic. No doubts.
“I think my rock has been my mental game,” Boudia said. “And that’s why I’ve been successful in this sport. It’s just a matter of turning on that focus and getting into that zone. I guess that’s what happened today.”
