INDIANAPOLIS — At age 43, Adam Vinatieri hasn’t lost a thing.

The NFL’s oldest player is still kickin’ it with guys almost half his age. If anything, the best clutch kicker in NFL history seems to be improving with age.

On Sunday, Vinatieri made all five field-goal attempts, including two from more than 50 yards, to help the Indianapolis Colts get past the Chicago Bears, 29-23.

“He is just money,” Coach Chuck Pagano said. “Twenty-one years (in the league), 43 years old, all that stuff, and producing and doing the things that he’s doing, it’s just incredible.”

Aside from the graying temples and the calming voice in the locker room, there’s no hint Vinatieri’s end is nearing.

Instead, he continues to play the game like a young kid.

The four-time Super Bowl champion has kicked five field goals in a game six times. It’s the first time he achieved the feat since 2013 – and it comes more than two decades after his first milestone day, Sept. 22, 1996, against Jacksonville.

If that’s not enough to marvel at, there’s this: Vinatieri has made 38 straight field goals – a career high – and he needs five more to break Mike Vanderjagt’s NFL record, set from 2002-04. Vanderjagt was Vinatieri’s predecessor in Indianapolis (2-3).

JETS: With his team trailing by two scores in the fourth quarter and time ticking away, Coach Todd Bowles opted to play it safe. Twice.

All it did was cost the Jets a chance to keep the explosive Pittsburgh Steelers within arm’s reach.

Not that Bowles was in the mood to second-guess himself following a 31-13 loss that dropped his team to 1-4. Given a choice, he’d kick again.

“If it was the same situation, I’d probably punt,” Bowles said. “When you talk hypothetically after you lose a ballgame, it doesn’t help anyone. I stand by that decision.”

With the Steelers ahead 24-13, the Jets faced fourth-and-1 at their own 29 with just over 13 minutes to go.

Needing about a foot to extend the drive, New York punted.

The Steelers promptly moved deep into Jets territory before a fumble by Ben Roethlisberger was recovered by Sheldon Richardson. The Jets made it to midfield, but Ryan Fitzpatrick missed Brandon Marshall on third-and-2 with 7:36 to go. Again, Bowles sent on punter Lachlan Edwards. This time, the Steelers went 79 yards in 12 plays, finishing off the Jets with a 5-yard pass from Roethlisberger to Sammie Coates.

“There was enough time on the clock,” Bowles said. “We figured we could get them pinned down there and go three-and-out. That’s what we were thinking.”

Instead, the Jets find themselves on a three-game losing streak heading to a Monday night trip to Arizona next week.
