Indianapolis Colts

I am not a diehard football fan but I do support the Colts through thick and thin and am happy they are still doing so well...LOVE Payton Manning!

COLTS 31 PANTHERS 7

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It took a while for Peyton Manning and his offence to get rolling on Sunday.

But once they did, they sent a message to the New England Patriots -- the Super Bowl Trophy still resides in Indianapolis.

Manning threw two touchdown passes to become the franchise's all-time leader as the Colts overcame a sluggish start to rout the Carolina Panthers 31-7 on Sunday.
Joseph Addai scored three touchdowns for the defending Super Bowl champions as the Colts (7-0) set the stage for next week's battle of unbeatens with the Patriots.
Colts coach Tony Dungy is not looking forward to the hype.

"I think it will be a circus," he said. "I think it will be a very much hyped game. They have played great football all year. Our team has played well. I think it's going to be a big game."
"I'm sure it's going to be crazy," added Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney. "Playoff atmosphere."

The two TD passes give Manning 288 in his career, passing former Colts' legend Johnny Unitas.
"He truly was an innovator at quarterback," Manning said. "I have the achievement in perspective. Certainly, it is an honour. I've had some great guys to throw to."

It also was a milestone day for Dungy, who won his 74th game to become the winningest coach in Colts history. He had been tied with Don Shula and Ted Marchibroda.
