On Sunday, the competition will be much tougher - Peyton Manning, the NFL's top-rated quarterback and the undefeated Indianapolis Colts. ``I didn't play, I don't think, at all'' on defense in the Colts 40-21 win last season, Banta-Cain said. ``I know what he can do and I've seen what other guys have done against him and I just hope when I get my chance I'll be able to make that im |

| New York, NY (MySportsbook) - Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey and New York Jets return specialist Justin Miller have been selected as the AFC's top players for the month of October. Manning has helped the Colts to a 7-0 record through the first two months of the season and had a banner October, completing 72.6 percent of his passes for 1,070 yards with 10 touchdowns and just one interception in four games.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady. The unbeaten Indianapolis Colts vs. the New England Patriots, who have only one loss. The hype vs. the reality. There are plenty of subplots to Sunday night's game between two of the NFL's best teams - Adam Vinatieri's first against the team for which he kicked two Super Bowl winning field goals, Manning's struggles against the Patriots and Brady's growing comfort with his new receivers. Floating above all that is the perception that it may be the NFL |

| nart can find solace in the knowledge that some pretty good quarterbacks began their NFL careers on bad teams. Take Troy Aikman, whose first Dallas Cowboys team went 1-15, or Peyton Manning, who went 3-13 in his debut season at the controls of the Indianapolis Colts. Leinart's Arizona Cardinals stagger into their bye week at 1-7, the worst record in the NFL. ``It's tough, it's frustrating, but in this game and this profession, we're going to go through ups and downs,'' he said. ``We're going to go through u |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The unbeaten Indianapolis Colts could be without two key starters - Pro Bowl safety Bob Sanders and right tackle Ryan Diem - in Sunday night's game at New England. Both are listed as questionable, along with 15 other Colts players. Defensive tackle Montae Reagor is the only player on the injury report listed as out. Sanders has not played since Week 2 after having arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in September. Although he practiced Thursday, coach Tony Dungy said he would wait to s |

For the first time in his 11-year career, Vinatieri will play at Gillette Stadium not as one of the Patriots' revered stars, but rather as one of those dreaded Indianapolis Colts. He figures fans will respond accordingly. ``I might have a few people give me a few cheers at the beginning, but I'm expecting once the game starts they are going to try to take the edge and that is probably yelling at us like every team does,'' |

Peyton Manning is 86-57 as a starting quarterback during a career that is getting more distinguished every week. But he is just 1-7 in Foxborough, Mass., the win coming a year ago when he and the Indianapolis Colts beat undermanned New England 40-21. The Patriots are undermanned no longer as Manning and the Colts return Sunday night. Last week, New England cut up Minnesota 31-7 on the road as Tom Brady threw for 372 yards and four touchdowns and the only Vikings TD came on a punt return. Manning, meanwhile |

| (MySportsbook) - As it turns out, the Denver Broncos are not invincible at home. The problem is you may need to have an offense like the Indianapolis Colts in order to get a win there. The Broncos came into Sunday's game giving up an average of just 7.3 points per game, but became embroiled in a shootout with the Colts this past weekend. In the end, Denver (5-2) couldn't keep up with the high-powered passing attack, and the Colts earned a 34-31 victory to improve to 7-0 on the season. "It was a track meet out |

The Broncos were handed a 34-31 loss by the visiting Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, and dropped to 5-2 on the year. The division title race is wide open, considering San Diego and the Broncos still have to player each other twice.
