Sure an improved defense and a productive running game had a complimentary role in their Super Bowl run... but the heart and the basis of the Colts Super Bowl run was Manning and the passing game.
The Patriots offseason was based on what happened to them in the AFC Championship game vs the Colts and realizing that they had to develop an equally strong passing game in order to beat the Colts.
