Gerulaitis’s death drew attention to a normally low-profile household poison.

Indy dared Peyton Manning to beat their press-man coverage over top and could present much the same to Brady. A lot of man-free with a single deep safety and plenty of LaRon Landry down in the box, an adjustment that makes sense with Jonas Gray and LeGarrette Blount obliterating them in the past two meetings. Vontae Davis has emerged over the past two years as an elite corner but the others are far more vulnerable....
