Peyton Manning "choking"...seriously? Was there a 'choke' in the game I watched?

On any given Sunday, against any other team...both the Saints and Colts could have turned the ball over as many as three times and still win the game by 20 points! But in a matchup like the one we saw tonight, just one turnover would definitely cost either team at the end. The Colts had two! Yes the onside kick recovered by the Saints is a turnover and was really more important than the 'pick' thrown by Manning late in the fourth. It changed the momentum of the game immensely. But the interception was number one not a bad throw as much as it was a great play by Porter. The Saints knew Manning was going to have to make some plays to be in the position to win the ballgame. N.O.'s defense simply played the situation and made a very big play to secure the win. The timing on the interception was really something and takes much more than it seems to execute such a play. But I surely saw no choking....did you?
