time taking a breather when needed. Okay, thanks Michelle, he's going to have a great night too because they. They have opened the roof to about 60 degrees and the window also at the other end of Lucas Oil Stadium where the roof is normally closed but tonight it is open and there is the window that we talked about with a nice breeze that comes.

From there, cash is born back to return Kick Matt's crater to send it in his direction and we're leaving from Indianapolis and born on his first run of the season from eight yards in, he'll bring the ball back to the 21-yard line. line and interestingly enough, Denver won the toss, but third, so they'll start on defense and here's the Colts offense, Stanford's Andrew Lucky, Sharon Richardson, Alabama, Stanley, Halvili, USC, Reggie, Wayne, Marrero, Darius, Haywood Bay, Dirty Turks, Kobe, Cleaner, Stanford, Anthony, Castanzo, Boston University, Hugh Thornton. illinois hawaii mike mcglinn from pit gospel vc is a balanced offense pep hamilton the new offensive coordinator and they will start from the 21 yard line and they will start on the ground and hand the ball to trent richardson who came in in that trade with cleveland after the start of the season, so andrew lucky, who finished second in the heisman voting, lost twice to robert griffin, the third in his last year at stanford and will meet without a meeting now, don't rush, but he will not meet on second chance and six. from the 25 yard line this is the way

peyton

could do it cleveland brown richardson the ball is loose the ball is out but they are going to be ruled out for contact and that is the initial signal about two yards from the Broncos on first down Of course, I feel like they have recovered the ball.

There is still no sign of the officers now meeting. Denver defensive back Chris Harris stayed with him. Carl Shepherds is the referee and he is going to rule that he is down due to contact, let's see what these sessions do. They're going to be, it's pretty hard to tell from these replays, it looks like he's letting go, but the call on the field, which of course can be challenged by John Fox, if John Fox wants to challenge this, he can do so and they'll take a look. glance. Here's the look at the bottom of the screen and the ball comes out and it looks like the refs got it right so Fox won't challenge and it's a third down and two from the 29 yard line and now they turn the ball over. on third and short and just before the first down when the ball crosses the 30 yard line so three runs and that was donald brown carrying it and brown is short so they start with three runs and it's a three and out and driving will go to work well, that's what the Indianapolis Colts are, they pride themselves on being a powerful football team and they are right behind von miller from the start, a guy who obviously hasn't been playing football for the last six

week

s and they stayed shorts, Denver took a timeout here, John Fox, who coached in Carolina for several seasons, actually led them to a Super Bowl in the middle of last decade, where they lost in a thriller to New England in his third year in denver and of course they inherited

peyton

manning last year when they went 13-3 and had the best record in the afc before losing to baltimore in the wild card

game

and of course one of the big stories of last year was chuck pagano who got the job he was an assistant in Baltimore for a long time, the assistant coach contracted leukemia which was discovered early in the season, of course, Bruce Arians then took over for Chuck Strong, it became a mantra here in Indianapolis, even in all over the country, and seems to be extremely healthy at the moment and in great spirits.

The hot break is back to get a very sure kick off the foot of McAfee, normally one of the best in the league, but a short boot here and now, Peyton Manning will come out in pretty good field position on the line of the yard, making it Manning's first time returning to Indianapolis afterward. a 32-yard hit and the crowd, of course, that was always so quiet when he was working offensively is now on the other side in a pistol formation with Moreno, who has clearly assumed control, is the number one draft pick in a couple of years. ago, but in problems of clumsiness it seems that the cured won nine, they do not huddle again and the crowd tries to be a kind of distraction for many, good luck and through the middle and the pass is broken intended for welker darius butler breaks it and that I will make a third attempt and it will be a very interesting match here.

Darius Butler with the New England Patriots practiced a lot against West Welker during his time there. I asked him on the field before the game. Do you feel like he gives you a chance? edge, he said third outright and one of the 47. So after Indianapolis passes and beats Denver on third down, well, it will be very close that they have gotten three and come out like Mathis, but they are there to take care of Moreno. he seems to be a little short of the first shepherds now look towards the sideline and it will be fourth down and manning at least for the moment wants to stay on the field here comes robert mathis right inside the tight end on that side and ends up putting him in the backfield , payton may have wanted to stay on the field, but john fox says no, he sends the britain folkwood clearing party to clear, that's t.y hilton, who you just saw a moment ago, who is preparing for the return at the The 10 yard line doesn't matter much from this spot near midfield anyway he runs back this year 23 yards and Folkway with a high kick Hilton drops him and Denver is going to doubt him at the six yard line so He is managing his luck.

It's the War of 1812 and each begins with a Sunday night three-and-a-half football game from Indianapolis. This would be a monumental regular season game. Not a lot happened this

week

, about 18 million things we can talk about from the seven yard line. he drives the first lucky pass number two and is caught and it's a first down on a 13 yard gain as reggie wayne, the venerable in his 13th year, makes the grappling champion recover from a foot injury for the first time playing a week ago and admittedly a little rusty didn't look that good it was interesting to hear andrew lucky talk about it he said i know at some point i'm going to look out and say wow look at reggie wayne and jim bailey that's very exciting wayne 13 years in the league at bayley 15 years when they spot the ball at the 19 yard line and the fourth run is donald brown swinging out with some space and they take him down in the open field they take him to the open field after a gain of about six raheem moore doing well the tackle von miller is a kind of type of move and this time he tries to go in and brown bounces him out donald brown averaging almost eight yards per carry for the season and all the talk about trent richardson who really He hasn't even come close to those types of grades second and three walk from the gun under pressure and he's going to go down and Sean Phillips so many seasons with San Diego in his 10th year in the league he now has six and a half sacks in just over six games.

What a blessing, this guy was suspended by von miller for the first six games and all you do is pick up sean phillips and he leads your team in sacks, he's carried the load while they waited. for their sackmeister to return to action 40 games in a row now, that would be the equivalent of two and a half seasons of longest active streak in the league, third and 11 of 18. Broncos show blitz and here they come after luck delayed the count and the incomplete interrupted pass intended for t.y hilton interrupted by rogers cromartie and there is an offside flag number 90, so after his capture, phillips is offside, it was third down and 11, so It's not third down and six while the Colts keep the ball, this is a different Colts offense than it was under Peyton Manning, they focus much more on ball control, the belief here is that you're not going to win a shootout. there's pat hamilton his offensive coordinator you're not going to win a shootout against the denver

broncos

and peyton manning they say they're going to try to control this ball control the clock well protected he stays in the pocket and shoots and it's wide and incomplete intended for t.y hilton broken by harris a good job from the secondary bronco and good job from phillips too and the second punt by mcafee.

I wonder if Peyton Manning almost needed that first drive just to get his feet on the ground. I imagine he probably took a little time, but I also think he's pretty focused at this point. agreed on the trend vacation, what a great player he was for the Texans last year and this again, a short line kick field at the 32 yard line. Holly tries to turn the corner, she can do that and then she runs out of space just in front. the

colts

bench for the total viewing experience check out nbc sports live extra nbcsports.com lots of great stuff as always and tonight social media reports our guest analyst joe naman how's that for handling the real joe namo ? is the real joe tonight sunday night extra check it out from the 44. down the sideline caught on the run by eric dekker and that will set them up at the 15 yard line over greg toller

indy

has 10 active defensive backs tonight never mind demanding 39 yards What you'll get from the Colts on defense all night are these one-on-one matchups.

Now they've embraced that style of play completely. vontae davis darius butler greg toller peyton manning all night tonight will get these individual matchups. who often doesn't catch back on the right side for Eric Decker's touchdown, so consecutive passes to Decker and Denver takes the lead and for Decker, that's touchdown reception number eight lined up right there, just working against, but they are the safety. Here who trips and falls on the way out and that just couldn't end up being much easier for Peyton Manning than it was, they go out and do what they've done to everyone else this season, they just go up and down the field. two plays 56 yards both passes matt trader who has had a perfect year is still perfect when he kicks the extra point with 8 16 left in the first quarter and the denver

broncos

at a record scoring pace lead seven nothing just three, it just seems like seven, everyone else has seven thirty consecutive games for peyton manning with a touchdown pass which is the longest active streak in the league, a little less than two years and the kickoff is taken by the captain at the one yard line, his first return was 30 yards. and this one takes it to the 26 yard line let's take a look at denver's defense derrick wolfe cincinnati kevin vickerson michigan state spartan dogs terence knighton temple owls sean phillips bowlers von miller texas a m paris london richmond danny trevathan kentucky champion bailey university of georgia dookie and nacho san jose state rohingya dream moore ucla how many roger commander tennessee state similar behind the key the missing guy is the middle linebacker wood yard second in a row ninos lennon starts trent richardson is the running back and plays action and roll out his luck is very good out of the pocket and t.y hilton catches the ball he takes the ball to the 46 yard line he makes a tight turn luckily and that's a 20 yard gain it's a shot right there luckily I really thought that Chris Harris is I'm going to have a chance to throw this ball back across his body, one of those cardinal sins, but he threw it so hard that Chris Harris whipped it, so I think he thought he had it from the line, too. 45 yards.

He was lucky, but he got the pass and caught it at midfield, received by Darius Hayward Bay, who saw the ball right in Bronco territory at the 49-yard line after a gain of seven Jack Del Rio, the former head coach of jacksonville now in It's his second year as the Broncos' defensive coordinator, but despite all the talk about what the Colts want to do offensively, control Clive, run the ball, you know, blah blah blah, all that kind of stuff of things, you're down 7-0 and here you go and this. It's what has happened to opposing offenses in the NFL: you have a plan but then you can't follow it well, the Broncos have had the lead 72 percent of the time this year, so opponents are always trying to get back on track. luck escaping the shots. run first grabbed reggie wayne, who thought he could be part of that fire sale when manning left and dallas clark left and a lot of guys weren't getting their contracts renewed, but chuck pagano called reggie when reggie was going to sign with someone more, maybe new england. who knows and at that moment pagan said hey look, youI need, I love you, you're a perfect fit and Reggie came back and it was a surprise to me because it was a total rebuilding job here and for them to bring Reggie Wayne back at the end. of his career was almost impressive, but I think it's the work ethic they wanted to retain as much as anything else in his career last week and Stanley dropped it by revealing that the

full

back was on the incomplete floor, he'll be second down to 10 It's kind of interesting that Reggie Wayne describes himself as a morning guy, a guy who would arrive at 5:30 in the morning to do his summer workouts and usually Peyton Manning was already in the building, already You know, I mean, but it's that type. of a work ethic that not only reggie wayne that peyton manning brought during all those years of success and it is quite easy to say why now he has always been edge counting the first and the last in second place and ten in the 34th. also in the half of pass sales.

Alto Hilton incomplete in the area and will be third with 10. It is also surprising that the

colts

in the last two years have not lost consecutive games and they are trying to avoid that tonight because they lost last week in san diego, well here they are von miller and oster. Shareless will take care of them, but there will always be help around the corner. It will be interesting to see how von Miller fares as the game progresses. He'll get it from the start, but Shareless can prove that he can handle it. Why not third and ten?

Here goes five wide and empty, Broncos with a four-man rush and the pass is caught inside the ten by Darius Hayward Bay, who should have a first down and a goal. Good read that time by Andrew Lucky, he saw the safety. moving down the middle of the field and here's the opening right on the seam, quarterbacks have learned to love that throw because now in this day and age where you can't hit a receiver in the head, receivers are a lot braver going up for those balls first and goal donald brown is the back in this set denver last in the league in pass defense and they give it to brown and brown takes the ball to the two yard line of course that comes with a little asterisk because teams are always trying to cover behind, always throw garbage time and put up a lot of yards against that Denver secondary, but they have been vulnerable defensively this season, yeah, one of the beliefs is that von Miller is a guy who just hasn't had a lot of physique. contact and there's a certain conditioning that goes with hitting and hitting and hitting and if you've been out for several months here and you don't have that, they feel that if they can hit it a little bit, maybe they'll let off some von miller second try towards the goal and luck slips away shots and the bullet to the end zone is incomplete jack doyle tight end the intended receiver will be the third down and the goal and a wounded hope is the center samson satellite is the man who needs the bag center, that means that Mike Mcglinn who started right guard goes to center this is how it happened this rolls into that inside line play but this is very important here now as the Colts with good momentum need to finish this third play and score.

The action again chased him and he falls as he throws Terence Knighton got to him and the pass is incomplete so luck had a first and a goal and now it's a fourth and a goal and they have to settle for chip shot coverage from Adam Venatori outside. Really, just one-on-one type coverage and Reggie Wayne tried to make a late break, but there was no one there. The guys seemed almost surprised that he was moving that way, like they had something else working on Vinaturi's 27-yard attempt in his 18th season. It's perfect so it's denver seven indianapolis three if you're a football follower you know about the firestorm all week jim irsay the owner and CEO of the team said this last week tom brady never had consistent numbers but he has three of these championship rings pittsburgh two giants two baltimore two we have one that leaves you frustrated you get to the playoffs eleven times you're out in the first round seven out of eleven times you love having peyton and marvin harrison and reggie wayne's star wars number but most of all you love this Super Bowl ring and of course what that did was create This whole maelstrom where Peyton wasn't going to get dragged into controversy, but he certainly had enough people coming to his defense and there are many, many ways.

You can watch and analyze what Irsay said: the kick is made by Holiday, he is always a threat from deep in the end zone, but this time the coverage is good to the 12 yard line. When I first heard it, I thought it was more of a shot. in bill polian, who was the general manager, maybe a little tony dungy, I don't know, but you know what irsay said, he we had all these great teams, we only won one ring, how did you evaluate it well? To start from Peyton Manning's point of view, when you throw out Tom Brady's name and then somehow he was more successful because of the Super Bowl rank and somehow what they did here in Indianapolis during that time was a failure that it's going to hurt no matter what anyone says, oh yeah, John Fox came to his defense, he thought it was a cheap shot, here's Moreno, taking it for a gain of nine, of course everyone makes such a big deal out of everything Manning wants go in and kill these guys and Peyton told us.

I didn't like it last night when people say how much I want to win the game. It's like an insult. I want to win all the games I've played badly. You know, it's really unfortunate. I don't think Jim Irsay would have done it. I thought at the time that was going to be the theme of the game, but when you're the owner of a football team and you speak for everyone in those last 14 years, that was a third a little worse and one out of the gun than I thought. The Colts pr The staff would love to do is take away his Twitter account, among other things, Moreno, did he get to the 23-yard line?

He's going to be very close while they score the ball, which appears to be, of course, unofficial. These guys are just going to take it down. Among the only drawback that the Denver Broncos have for all the great numbers that Julius Thomas, their tight end, has already put up this season, he is not a great blocker, he really showed up in last week's game against Jacksonville, that time standing in the line. from scrimmage in a short yardage situation, well shepherds has to bend his knee to tell us that a short link comes up and that's the second time manning has faced a fourth and one and has to go off the field for the punt unit , so they start with a nine-yard run on first down and can't get the first down and Great Britain punts for the second time in the game.

His first kick was 51 yards. T.y Hilton

returns

to receive and stumbles to the 39. -yard line where luck and company take over 250 to go in the first quarters 7-3 broncos 86. I love finishing second in the Heisman voting, driving with lucky every number one draft pick, every one started every game as a rookie, luckily he had a better group around. He that Payton and also the parents were teammates with the Houston Oilers in the early 80s for a couple of seasons from the 39 yard line and this action before the false start number 78, the five yard penalty remains the first try, come on. to Michelle okay, starting center Samson is questionable right now with a right knee, they took him back to the locker room, they tried to put him in a brace to get him back here, they only have seven offensive linemen up there if he goes down, that leaves it. him with six, okay, Michelle, meanwhile, McGlynn has played center, played this center position in weeks three and four of this season, when Citely also got hurt.

Lincoln, like he did in weeks three and four, fills in for right guard McGlynn, and that's the way it is. It will be first down and 15 from the 34-yard line and Richardson will swing to the outside and Miller von Miller will trip him up and take him down to the line of scrimmage, well, one of the problems the Colts will end up with. This is a team that likes to play with six offensive linemen that they bring in that giant package and Kobe Fleener really isn't much of a blocker on that side either, so now von Miller will probably be able to outplay Kobe Fleener on the outside on the second edge and 13. the broncos running five steps luck throws incomplete t.y hilton covered by champion bailly third down and 13 and luck has started the game five of 10 for 79 yards and andrew luck is a guy obviously a smart guy from Stanford, his valedictorian of high school 6-4-2-40 and he steps up and is a force that tries to take him to the ground, but he is a guy who admitted, said, you know, sometimes I like to get hit, that Wakes me up.

If I'm going bad, I go out and run and just by taking a hit I feel like I'm back in the game again right tackle Cerulla lost a shoe that's the only other lineman Joe Wright is in the game at right tackle and the the pass is caught but not for many yards by kobe flener chris harris steps up to make the tackle that will make it fourth down in nine and mcafee will kick it for the third time in the quarter let's say this Denver defense has improved a little bit On top of what we saw in Dallas a few weeks ago, they're still 32nd in the rankings, but they're rock solid against the run, averaging about three yards per carry, so the team is almost forced to throw him and McAfee, this is your best pick of the night. it's a bronx cheer from the people in central indiana and Holiday will dive out of bounds and be taken out of bounds with the ball still loose if he stayed in bounds because if he did it will be a touchdown by the coach, the referees They are pointing Sergio to the right. away sergio brown picked it up so holliday lost it and now he sees the official signal and let's take a look because it's very, very close jeffers is coming to check it out stanley haveli created the fumble the crowd is now watching the replay they think it stayed inside the limits he is inside he is inside the ball is outside the ball stays inside here it is friend?

I think we're going to make a change in that now they won't be able to award the touchdown properly, but they can award possession of the ball. right, they went over this with pagan, it was not ruled, normally it would have been if the decision had been a turnover, it would have been automatically verified because it was a turnover, but it was ruled that it was not a turnover, therefore , Pagan passed the challenge and we believe he will win it and get the ball deep into Denver territory so Holiday knows what is coming upon hearing his destination, resulting in a turnover here and again.

You can't move forward with this as he bounces around the playing field and then it's. he recovered and Brown was going to receive the ball where he first touched it. I guess Stanley Harvey played a little defensively on his day. He had Trenton Holiday pinned against the boundary. He knew he wasn't going to lose it and then he took it. The guy who's five feet five inches tall and weighs 170 pounds, you know Avili is a lot stronger than him and he just ripped that thing off. It was really a brilliant move on his part and so far this game is going in the right direction as far as I see.

I'm worried that the only thing you didn't want to happen is getting beat in the first quarter at your home stadium and everything is working in the Colts' favor right now, so the only thing that results in the refs' blown call . The fact is that there is no progress and they ruled it correctly the first time. We believe it is correct if the fumble had been ruled in the field of play instead of out of bounds, it could have been advanced, but once it was ruled. the way they really took a big break there, that ball managed to stay in bounds, roasting in the field, it's reversed, the running back wasn't out of bounds, the Indianapolis player at the 11 yard line, that's where Indianapolis will have it first and 10.

Well, the crowd wants to touch them, but the reason they can't get a touchdown is that the ball was, in effect, dead, the play was whistled dead again if they don't whistle it dead and they call it a turnover, they rule it a turnover, which eventually turns out then it could have been advanced for the touchdown and that's where the crowd goes, this thing needs to be advanced for a touchdown for the colts, you take a break like That, they have been here before without power. hit it and it's time so from the 11th on first down darius hayward bay former oakland raiders started turning on the move to lux they turn the other way they catch him on the floor he takes it in a big game design at that time by pep hamilton completely. he fooled the broncos defense and he did it and with 120 left in the first quarter denver in an unusual position following movements coming this way they are going to turn this off and look i think this is the champion bailey right here thinking darius hayward bay ran everything The path through the field was washed away and goes back the other way and there is simply no one left on that side of the field.

You can see the champion. I think I can barely see that number, but I thinkthat that's champion Bailey walking across the field thinking he had to do it. keeps pace with speedster Heyward Bay says they are going to trade him so now Chris Harris is going to take the outside guy and during the trade somehow Cham Bailey lost his catcher, there hasn't been a good return so far for champion Baily I do not see. well against jacksonville, that's a long time to be out suffering in the second preseason game and sometimes you just lose a little feel for the game, meanwhile that offensive line restructured into a first down from the 11 yard line helps pave the way. with protection vacation this time after that fumble on the way to atonement and mcafee hits it on oh mcafee who hit the hardest of most linebackers playing the linebacker role right there oh you gotta be kidding me, I don't think I've ever seen a kicker with this kind of hit, of course it helps a little when the guy is smaller than you, only five foot five.

Brad McAfee will be a legend among kickers everywhere, well he has a 63 pound weight advantage, 233 to 170. that was incredible from the 49 yard line, a 2-3 ad, a two play touchdown from the face sliding and trying to find the open man, but the secondary does a great job aimed at demaryius thomas and it will be a second down and 10. before the pass holding the number 20. five yard defense penalty, automatic first down, but that's Darius Butler, who maintains his command, he gained so much time that Butler ends up holding on and it's a first down, something you can see when you watch the Colts' tape.

It's just that these defensive backs are a little grabby on the field, you can usually get away with it, the referees can call one or two, but they certainly don't usually call six or seven on first down. moreno dripping through the hole over the right guard to the 39-yard line tackled by buffet gain seven seconds and three last minutes of the quarter a lot of people doubted if no sean mourinho was going to be part of this team in recent weeks i think he's taking over I think it's his job 20 plays and this is only the Tenth for Denver and Moreno is a yard away from first down, third and one tackled by anger at the 37-yard line with half a minute left in the first quarter.

Well, we've seen this situation before. This has been a bit complicated. Achilles heel so far they've been trying to run it after Payton takes things into his own hands here it's the third third and a situation they haven't turned into the other two, Manny's clock is ticking away and the fourth will land on field. home of the indianapolis indians triple a, the pittsburgh pirates farm team and tonight you have edran james in the house, so all with marvin harrison, two great former colts watching, saw the tribute to peyton manning on the outfield on the field of victory and now We start the second quarter for third and one and this time managing the air, swinging out and backing up and catching Jacob Tammy, who played here with Manning a couple of years ago for a first tried, so they couldn't. run it for the first on two thirds and ones and they throw it this time first and 10.

Very good play, I think it was Sean Phillips jumping over it, but this is apologies. You saw Greg, the defensive coordinator, sending the signal at the 30-yard line through Moreno for the Denver Broncos that offensive line and they have had their own problems early in the season, but Manny Ramirez takes over this year at center, They get Vásquez's long-time charger, who is a teammate and roommate. in ramirez at texas tech, he's above right tackle right now, they lost ryan clady, one of the best left tackles in the league earlier in the season, so there was a little bit of a mix there as well as the second down and the nine and the driving stroke while throwing and escaping. to Decker, who scored the touchdown earlier and has a first down when he takes it to the 16-yard line and Jerrell Freeman came in and shot at Manning.

Mr. L Freeman is really becoming a star in the league, with over 200 tackles for him a season ago. He came out of Canada and he's a guy that's probably, hands down, their best coverage linebacker, but he also has the ability to go after Peyton Manning and most people believe that if you're ever going to beat Peyton Manning, it's going to be you better hit him a few times first and ten on the gun this time again with ronnie hillman out the back and manning will get it up to the helmet, but sniffing it out perfectly is laurent landry, the first and jet, who has been injured and he's coming back tonight big hitters if you watch lebron landry long enough you will.

I see certain missile shots coming and that time Leron Landry, who is a guy who is not only a great hitter but has the speed to cover the sideline, a great addition to this team after his injury, you saw those numbers on the red zone passing 17. touchdowns no pick 17 of his 23 now touchdowns for the season second through nine dancing for time but again it's just a short play this time welker crosses the middle and gets tackled there with anger that will set up a third down and six for Denver and this is really the best you can hope for, you know, you talk to anyone on the Colts, but Greg Minuski, their defensive coordinator, said I don't care if they go 90 yards every drive if they have to kick goals from field, we win, Adam. gas the offensive coordinator a year younger than the quarterback, he calls the signals on third down and six and manic throws a floater into the end zone and a fingertip catch made by julius thomas for the touchdown julius thomas It's his third year in the league, but it's his first time seeing extensive action and what a blessing he's been to this team.

Well, coming out of nowhere, Julius Thomas just won the catch in his career before this season and he's going to bobble this ball, but they tried to get it out, but he just couldn't and he's become the x-factor in this offense, so which is a third and six. Do you have complete possession with both feet down? I think he does it again. All scoring plays are reviewed, so they're looking at it up, so 56-yard kickoff.

returns

had them starting from a Christmas touchdown on third down and six Denver retakes the lead Thomas with his eighth touchdown reception of the season a couple of minutes into the second quarter 14-10 Denver Thanksgiving is just around the corner corner here about a little over a month away and we will have our primetime matchup that night it will be the Steelers against the Ravens who faced off today and Pittsburgh won to give them two wins now after four straight losses while Pat Bolin in his 30th season he is the owner and CEO of Denver.

Broncos and of course have had their share of success in the Super Bowl five times and won a couple in John Elway's last two seasons. The cash forms two at the 20 line and back to the touchdown, we always go hard at any time, here's jerrell freeman. and you're going to take this route, you can see that Freeman is going to end up thinking that he's going to take the tight end down the field. Julius Thomas falls again to Wes Welker, the lesser of two evils, and Peyton Manning sees it easier than me and him. You see it when it happens on the field, good read, beautiful shot is back in the game after missing a couple of series, Indy's center and from the gun, Miller got a great break on the left side, meanwhile, Brown makes the catch, that's a gain of eight. but that's ivonne miller coming off that line of scrimmage as quick as anyone, yeah that was there as far as being a little quick, but they've got a good one on that side and Gaster Shareless, a guy they say has really come on. and he's just been the guy that holds everyone accountable, of course, he comes from detroit and he just can't stand much with that offensive line, everyone respects him and tonight he'll get the job done against von miller second and a two from the 34. number one pick of brown in 09 connecticut, tackles on 35 trevathan making the tackle and you start to wonder if they picked up the colts, trent richardson in that trade, but some guys stayed healthy, including ahmad bradshaw and vic ballard, maybe they wouldn't have needed to make that exchange.

Brown gives him a little change of pace at third and they have Richardson in the game. He comes from the Browns, the number three overall pick in the last draft. year behind luck and rg three and they give it to him and they're going to stuff it at the 33-yard line and that's von miller saying that von miller has really had a bigger impact in the running game so far than in the passing game his quickness is just run into that in the backfield and you can see the offensive lineman just unable to keep his feet trying to move there and that's really what trent richardson is paid to do and that's pick up some of those short yardage plays and so on.

It hasn't worked out that way. It's Mcavee's fourth punt, the last one was the best of the night. 53 yards. The flag is thrown with a high and resounding kick and with the penalty he is going to let it bounce. A good pulse is needed. Bounce sideways at the 10 yard line and we'll get the call with a flag thrown in the instant conversation here below the waist what's what the call is actually jefferson threw the flag now he's checking with his associates about the team kicking number 54 had been reported ineligible on the previous play and then played in an eligible position which is an illegal five formation, yes, well, when you come in, you have the report if you are going to be an ineligible number but an eligible player, so now it was an illegal formation and because that kick was so good and around the 10 yard line they'll say yeah we'll take it again so that's mario harvey who is a linebacker by trade and can also play fullback in short yardage and special teams situations and that's exactly what happened on the previous play, he was playing fullback and then he goes back to being an ineligible player on the interior, there you go from the 28 yard line, let's see if mcafee can do it new.

The holidays will return. A nice festive kick is taken from the 13-yard line, the flag is thrown on the return run and takes it back to the 29-yard line, but the penalty score is down, in fact, two of them go back to 11-13 during return. number 12, team back, half business to goal, first down, that's andre caldwell alright it's all settled now 9 41 to go to mid denver for four two guys who really know how to handle christensen well , long time assistant here under three regimes and reggie. Wayne, you know all about number 18. Reggie Wayne tells us that he has 12 pages of signs that he had used over the years with Peyton Manning, but he didn't give his defense any of them, he said they won't help him. you are welcome. he can make a call that forces you to ignore the audible so you can know the words, but he goes up and turns red and then whatever the words are, that means ignoring everything I've done, so everything he would do is to spoil them.

They asked about them I said no, you know, I know, you know, I know that's exactly what it is and we saw earlier this year that Peyton Manning burned the crows, you know, you know, from six they start this journey, brown to ten here's michelle Yeah, Clyde Christensen agreed with all that, Chris, he told me it's just ridiculous trying to predict Peyton because one week Peyton would call a Florida play, the next week he changed it to Gator, then he traded to Spurrier and then traded him to Steve. and he keeps changing it, you just can't trust it, seat betrayal will get you everywhere second and seven and Decker can't, one handed, Christensen was here, he was with Tony Dungy in Tampa, Tony brought him here and then there was. with jim caldwell and chuck pagano said stay with me louis vasquez doing a good job here working against robert mathis in this building with all the noise here is a guard remember he was a guard having to kick now and play tackle with maybe the homework toughest in the NFL against a guy with nine and a half sacks already this year, but he's done well taking the place of Orlando Franklin, who got hurt last week and is inactive tonight and when he walks away he loses the ball and the ball will stay in the end zone the colts are there jeffers is checking you have robert mathis the bag bubble master they are going to call him a safety saying he was recovered out of bounds but robert mathis who has done this a million moments in those who have been Payton's teammates do it to handle themselves it doesn't work on one side you go to the other side and there it goes that was the empty hand this is both a scoring play and a turnover so it's being reviewed right now clearly the number a Manning's arm is not advancing so you definitely have a sack you have a fumble the question now is when Walden tries to recover the ball if he has possession before leaving the field the ball is a little loose there it's so crazy even if Your hair is off limits, believe it or not, if your hair is off limits, you're off limits, yeah, I don't think I'll recovercontrol up to that point and I think his shoulder is on the line at that point. point no control no control no control and now that the shoulder is close I wonder if they would count the hair they make, the absolute hair is if you want to grow your hair like this, I think the palamala was involved in a play a few years ago. where the hair came into play, that's a fun rule because you can actually tackle by the hair and no, there are all kinds of curls right there.

I have to review the rule on the field, sure, well, the crowd wanted five more points, but I'll have to settle for two and they'll get the ball with the score 14-12 on a free throw from the 20-yard line and Robert Mathis has started. They try to go with Chris Clark blocking one on one. On the outside against them, but without help it will be difficult. No Sean Mourinho would normally come and try to chip. Remember backup tackles now on both sides. Vásquez did quite well on the right. Mathis goes the other way and succeeds and scores.

Robert Mathis' 39 sack fumbles are the most of all time tied now with Jason Taylor and it's actually been since 1982 when the sax became an official statistic of course the late Deacon Jones always said he had double that than anyone, but it was made official in 82 and 39 of them for Robert Mathis, another guy you know who could have also gone to the clearance sale, he thought, well, maybe I'm already gone. dwight frane was sent off this year he signed with san diego, he got hurt and there's dolmen 38, taylor and mathis with 39. .10 and a half sacks on the season, he's been fantastic so far and after leading the Colts last year With just eight sacks, he was off to a tremendous start. 10 and a half sacks for him leading the league Levon Brazil, this time he is going to return to the campus in effect with a free throw from the 20 and Brazil from the 18. brings him back to the 34 yard line on Sunday night Indianapolis football brings it to you on the subway train, fresh and abundant with the new 2014 Lexus GX, dare to be spontaneous for the frost teams light the most refreshing beer in the game and for four the dark world in theaters on the 38th of november beautiful around the stadium before the game that's great the 34th on the first try out of the game action and luck finds the open man and it turns out to be brown and donald brown with a thrown flag after a broken tackle takes him to the 38th but jeffers will check it, the flag is at denver 46. illegal contact number 25 defense that penalizes chris harris and of course they will take the play which is 28 yards, it is always the time when the pirate action comes in one direction and the back goes back in the other, if you have a good, patient quarterback, because luck can come all the time.

Cross back and think of a great play. This is turning into a shootout that perhaps the Colts hadn't imagined, but you get the feeling that Andrew Lucky is ready and wants to take a shot at Peyton Manning. Smarty exited the game holding his arm and outside the outside round going nowhere when he is tackled by Chris Harris. Probably the biggest improvement on this Broncos team over the last two years is just their ability to stop the run and when it can be stopped. A team's run just puts them in a situation, especially now with von Miller back in action, where you can start chasing the quarterback, now on second down and ten, the entire advantage shifts to the defensive side of the ball. , you can stunt, you can do anything. you want to look here in the well-protected pocket and then the pass is incomplete down the middle intended for reggie wayne you see the roof open we thought it might be a bit of cleverness because we had heard that peyton preferred the roof to be closed but his numbers would belie that he has been great under any circumstances, but it's an interesting call they made tonight because right now it's 53 degrees, what they call the window is open to the north and it's cold in here, I think they were going to do whatever they could think of to try to give him a slight advantage in this case, they don't want him to come back into this building and come out with a win on third and 11. and good luck to whoever can run and good luck fighting his way close to a first down miller and harris were there but andrew is 6'4 and about 240 and he gets the first down without sliding here are the big guys he occasionally wakes them up if he gets hit in the ball game he knew exactly where the first down was The score was and no There were slide jumps a bit at the end of this fantastic play by Andrew Lucky.

Well, he's had seven runs on third-down plays this year, each of which resulted in the first down of third-and-11. That's points. Also, that one almost guarantees you three points, at least, he's really come, remember on opening night, he had the interception against Joe Flacco against Baltimore, then he runs freely into the end zone and gives the ball up at about the half-yard line. and Ends up leaving the end zone Ends with Woodyard getting hurt on the play It was kind of embarrassing Goes to the sideline and tells John Fox I'm sure he was in, but he wasn't, no, and he's a tremendous player. big coverage linebacker and this is richardson with a hard run here breaking the tackle from the line of scrimmage and getting to the 20 yard line it will be a third down and two mike mcglynn come with a little power play here over here and This is really what they were waiting for by Trent Richardson.

He had a nice play last week with a little pass out that made some people miss him. He is a big, strong guy and loves contact, but what they tell him is love. contact a little more use your quickness and less your physical abilities we would like to keep you for a while third and two from the 20. and left out he will convert avili makes the catch and takes it all the way for a Colts touchdown. Stanley Haveli arrived in a trade with Philadelphia and gives the coach the advantage when you have a defensive end who ends up in coverage.

Sometimes you flank a fullback and that interferes with your defensive formations. Robert Ayers absolutely not. The way he's going to stick with Habili, who's had a great game here so far tonight, so Mathis sets him up with the safety, two points puts him in possession for a touchdown drive that's seven after the conversion of Vinatari and with 550 remaining in the first half. indianapolis on top 19 14. of the new 18 refer to this as the war of 1812, peyton manning returned home to indiana, but to robert mathis, who was not allowed even near him and all the years that They were teammates, he was able to create his 39th fumble sack, you got close to him on this one, right?

And you can imagine, first of all, Robert Math comes in to make a big stop on a short yardage play, but then this is what makes the difference right here, all of those. For redshirt years, no one was allowed to touch Peyton Manning, he said if you got within two yards of them, the coaches would start yelling at you, well, that fumble right there turned into nine points for the Indianapolis Colts and five points. The leader and Moreno will be eliminated for the loss of a pair. Walden and Corey Redding are second and 13. I'll tell you another thing: You have to give the secondary a little credit now that they're starting to match up and This has been a little bit of man coverage, some physical hitting play and runs, they've gotten this crazy offense out of rhythm, a little swing, pass to Moreno out, but he can only get back to the original line of screws making third and 10.

Bonte Davis doing. stop 5 15 to go in the half Manning doesn't want the defense to change, so he gets right to the line and the pass drops. Demaryius Thomas, who was in brackets, can't hold on and it's a very quick three and out. peyton manning is known for knowing whether you're on the shoulder of the field up or not defensive back monte davis barely stood right there as peyton tried to climb over but didn't make it high enough and right now the The Colts secondary he's doing something that no one else in the league has been able to do and that will at least slow down this passing day a lot when Great Britain comes in for their third punt.

Hilton will ask for a fair and naked reception after a kick. of only 36 yards and that will put the luck in position near midfield, well, look at these Indianapolis Colts, you know, we've heard about rebuilding and retooling whatever is as quickly as possible between two and fourteen. Phil Pauline is fired and brought in. a new pagan coach, by the way, they bring in ryan grixen, who is a pretty good general manager, they get some free agents, they draft andrew lucky and here we are, yeah, but it has to be said that it always starts with the quarterback position and when you can find it. a guy who can come in right away and physically and mentally handle the burden of being a pretty rare pro quarterback and who follows gregson, the general manager, and makes his way to the 50 yard line is richardson brixton, of course, was the man who affected that trade with Cleveland, costing Indianapolis their first-round draft pick next year, but that could be way down the list if Indy goes as far as they hope, yes, but the way they They want to play, it seems that who is that bailey.

Yes, Shampoo had missed the entire season until last week at Stover in the 45. Take a look, yes, he came in with a left foot injury, that's what cost him the first five games that could be seen in that sort of penultimate step just before him. was knocked back and he's upset and that's exactly what it looks like that left foot took a pressure step if you can describe it that way for Chan Bailey, who was injured in the second game of the preseason, to fight against all the the way back the frustration is tremendous on your part yes it's six or seven weeks of rehab you come back and then you seem to have done it again meanwhile rogers carmarti who was out returns to the ball at 49 denver on second to two and look deep and dropped at the 5 yard line looking for the flag in Hayward Bay and you won't get a rogers carmarti with the coverage third and two rogers for marty probably lent a hand in this case, but hayward bay is very fast guy and welcome back but he's well done it was about the same position darius hayward bay had a chance to make a play last week he didn't make it he's had trouble with drops over the course of his career and if last week's game in San Diego cost the Colts anything it was the drops from the 49-yard line on third and two and the play clock at zero when luck takes the center and then throws and is hit incomplete by Paris Lennon in the middle. linebacker so it's the fourth of two every once in a while even Andrew Lucky will give you a treat and this one should have been if you never saw Paris Linen working in the middle of the field that's just one you have to do against these great quarterbacks. mcafee nose, but still great coverage there, sergio brown is there to doubt it at the two yard line, mcafee perfect cut with 404 left in hand, okay, the quarterback comparison, no one really lights it up , although look at his rock for 149 yards, which is pretty good going into the half 10 of 19.

Manning with two touchdown passes, one to knock one down to Julius Thomas and right now it's a five point game with 404 left in the half . Moreno is the runner who tries first of the two they are looking for. some breathing room and takes it to the five yard line tackled by buffet second and seven and that's mad who's down on iowa's number two pick in the 2010 draft last week it was jerrell freeman who had to Coming out with a concussion that severely damaged this defense a week ago with his man coverage ability and anger the next I don't know if we'll ever see Mario Harvey or Kelvin Shepherd at that position again he has to come out for at least one play under his command.

Kelvin Shepard's power will step into his shoes at least for the time being. Robert Mathis again here on Chris Clark's side in the same spot on the field and will get some protection help and Moreno will work his way up to gain a couple of spots. up, a third down and five, yeah, see you see Mathis out there and you know you have to bring someone to help you block him. Well, they want to have Robert Mathis in the open field, so here he is and there is no help. What are they going to do? Come here so that now they can get help against them.

They can basically dictate which way Robert Mathis goes and then make a move to help them. The flag is down. Eric Waldman with coverage of the play and Pagano saying falling. denver and I think he's going to get his wish Bronco is already backing away he really wasn't at the catch point he didn't show up I thought it was before that I really don't see him there I think it happened right before he actually did a little stiffness with his arm towards eric walden ronnie hillman gets halfway to the goal so it's a third down it's still a manageable number third and eight so three receivers to the right fake and then he gets caught and that It will be Demaryius Thomas who picks up the first down, buthe was officially out on contact just outside the 20-yard line in the final two minutes, a very significant play, and Peyton will let him go to the two-minute warning. denver has two timeouts on the other side of this halftime 1914 indianapolis two minutes to go first and ten denver denver has two timeouts starting to set it up from the 20. and manning stays on the left side and the pass is incomplete thomas covered there for Davis and getting help will also be a second down and 10.

One of the really difficult parts of playing on this team is that you can only help so many guys. You see vontae Davis moving in, which means he basically had it all. alone, but so far, at the end of this second quarter, vontae davis has lived up to the test and then throws the incomplete patch that eric decker was the intended receiver, freeman covered the play, people were yelling at himself in the third 10. No one knows old Peyton Manning's route better than the Indianapolis Colts that time they were just sitting there waiting for him to run into an upset on the field while the linebacker is back in the game and the passes fell deep here with incomplete coverage. it's great meant for demaryius thomas so it was a 16 second three and this is just a one on one matchup they keep chasing it doesn't matter who's on demaryius thomas if he gets one on one they're going to throw it at him but Bronte Davis continues to find ways to win that battle and this makeshift secondary that comes from three different teams in the league has made it quick to punt and it's a 39 yard punt. boot ty hilton with a return about 10 yards to midfield so

indy

has the ball on all of his timeouts before halftime toyota the chiefs are now seven of them so right now they are in the afc west rg3 late game top heroics one of the wild ones that was washington beat chicago bob costas eins ward looking back in the first half and let's go to michelle well champion bailey is questionable with a foot injury it's the same left foot that came in in that preseason game against the seahawks. that you talked about long conversations with the trainer and the team doctor and that he is sidelined for the moment, that's fine, thank you michelle, it means that kayvon webster, a rookie and a south florida player, will see extended time tonight and the pass is caught at the 45 by reggie.

Wayne for a five gain very interesting clock management by the Broncos to not work any of that clock and now he turned around and gave Andrew Lucky the opportunity to put points on the board and there may be some clock management criticism from the Colts of not leaving Manning on the other side at any time while they work on that field to get Donald Brown's first down to the 39-yard line. I think this team, the Broncos, is so used to being able to do anything they want. I want to go up and down the field, but in this case, when his passing game stops a little bit, I'm not really sure how to react to that and now he takes a timeout with 66 seconds left in the first half.

At Colt Secondary they dressed 10 of them tonight and they did the job when you look at them. Davis came from Miami. Greg Toller came from the Cardinals. Landry came from the Jets and they made everything work and I think getting Landry. back has certainly helped here, he has the speed in the back to come and make plays on the sideline and helps cover some of those one-on-one coverages. A lot of the credit goes to Greg, the defensive coordinator. Obviously, we're very busy all week preparing for Manning's return. Here you are lucky to escape the running launch. down the middle to the 17. so Fleener, a teammate of Lux at Stanford, got tackled there by Webster and it's a first down after a gain of 21.

Very good read that time by Kobe Fleener, he felt the lower cover, but at the moment he turned his back. circled back the other way for the open shot, short drop to the outside, this time it's cleaner again, gain of just a couple of 32 seconds left in the half and Indy takes his second timeout. Kobe Flainer on that previous play is going to be working against. Trevathan, who is looking at the quarterback, tries to look back at Fleener and then just circles back and you get the feeling that those two guys have done that a few times together at Stanford, he's a big, powerful guy in the pocket You don't see any of that, Andrew. luck gets upset by some guys grabbing him or a little hit, you know, whatever, he's 240 pounds and you talk about some of the comparisons even though he's a different style of player, Ben Roethlisberger, to that guy of internal strength. the pocket and the ability to move, although Andrew Lucky is a quick guy, he's about 4-7, so he can move on second and eight, he's stuck, Wayne, he's a little bit short on first down, third down, they want Save that timeout if you can, but it's one of those situations where you don't want to dunk it, do it on fourth down, so throw it to the right side, take the first down and the touchdown.

Colby Fleeter Boy was that interesting watch , thinking about a timeout, you can." He doesn't spike the ball, he gets everything. He's so Peyton Manning, right? I mean, it just seems that way before they could settle down. They end up with a safety that has to try to come out here and catch this thing. Everyone thinks he's about to score. or stop the clock in some way, whatever the case may be, and he's just up bang bang bang for a second year player, this guy mentally is pretty amazing for the post point and so after a very Denver Three fast and the Colts get the ball with a minute 44.

It takes 134 to advance down the field and Pagano's team leads by 12 points, the only time Denver is behind in the half this year was the game of the night opener Thursday night in Denver when Baltimore led 17-14 at halftime and before. that night ended peyton manning had thrown seven touchdown passes perfect luck on that drive eight yard touchdown pass to flener finally played him in stanford drafted cleaner in the second round last year well there's no way around this it was a big mistake by peyton manning and the denver broncos were backed up, yes maybe they could have gone down and made a field goal but at least you have to take advantage of that clock, you can't turn that ball over at the 40 50 yard line and give Andrew Lucky has a chance to go all the way, so this close game now has a little room, but with Peyton Manning there, a little room doesn't always mean a lot.

Seven yards on vacation is always a threat, this time only down to the seconds of the 20-yard line. and will probably take a knee even though Denver will get the ball, eight won the opening sauce and deferred, they will get the ball to start the third quarter, at least you want to force the Colts to take all their time, some sure finish. screens whatever the case may be, but those incomplete passes gave the Colts a chance to go the other way and score a touchdown. Those numbers are so human for Manning, that he's had anything but a human season up to this point, so the first half is over.

The Broncos get the second. half start indianapolis leads 26-14 through halftime after halftime in indianapolis culture because they were the team that drafted me it's a game I never wanted to play again to the right side caught for the touchdown maniac throws a floater into the zone score and fingertip for the touchdown, so Peyton returns home to Indiana again, but now it's the Colts who lead 26-14. One of the things Indianapolis did tonight was dress 10 defensive backs, of course, Mathis made a great play. but that secondary has really done his job and that's always the theory: when you play against peyton manning you have to alter the timing of his receivers.

We saw the New England Patriots do that for years and it's exactly what we're seeing here. tonight and now for some Burger King Inside Edge, we'll show you what we're talking about. It has been one-on-one coverage from the beginning. Here we have some zone and decker at the beginning of this game. with a touchdown but after that they start going into this man to man coverage greg poehler on the outside working against decker darius butler on the inside against his former teammate wes welker and probably the star of this first half so far bonte davis he has been left alone with demaryius thomas and yet time and time again he has found a way here are the big three and so far tonight decker has been a bit of a night but wes welker and davarius thomas not much that's the burger king inside edge check out more ideas from tonight on nbc sports live yeah we're going to take a look at that secondary early on in the third quarter as Denver is going to get the ball.

Clinton Holliday is back to pay it forward over the holidays, by the way, playing in his 23rd regular season game. He was with Houston before and then Denver got him. He has never lost a regular season game. Houston was undefeated last year when he was traded to Denver and hasn't lost a game since Denver comes into this game on a 17-game winning streak and a 17-game regular season streak. will start as the Broncos this season have scored a touchdown on their first drive of the second half in five of their six, so we'll see what Manning has in store here, she'll start this one from the 20-yard line and let's go. to Michelle well, despite being down at halftime for the second time this season, John Fox seemed calm and confident when I asked him about protecting Manning or some defensive assignments, he confidently repeated, we'll fix that, something that won't be fixed.

He fixed champion Bailey's left foot. He is out for the rest of the game. As for Chuck Pagano, he said we have to stay aggressive. That team, the Broncos, is too good for us to stay behind. We just have to stay behind him. thank you michelle he knows this very well since manny starts from the gun and gives the ball to moreno Bandera his throne penalty on the first play of the second half carl schefferer is the holy referee number 66 infraction 10 yard penalty repeat first attempt manny ramirez auspicious start to the second half for denver and it is one of the problems, the interesting part of this is that the colts were really willing to give up some rushing yards in this game, but so far the broncos have not been able to take advantage of the outside that will be caught by Julius Thomas, who scored a touchdown in the first half, won seven, the Broncos 265 points through week six, that's 44 per game, the most in league history, after six 296, from the Rams 2000, the year after they won the Super.

Bowl single season marks the undefeated 2007 Patriots breaking the season anyway almost 600 here's Moreno on a second and long stop for just a couple and Chris, when you look at Denver's rushing tonight, it's 13 rushes for 34 yards, about two and a half yards per carry, yeah. and when you consider the type of coverage the Colts have been playing with these two deep safeties, the assumption is that you may have to give up 100 yards on the ground to slow down their passing game, it hasn't made any difference or any health yet with Esa run on third down and at the 12. and Manning is going to go deep and try to draw the flag was Decker, but he was able to tell him with the coverage of the play and again he is agitating, including a penalty here.

I told you these guys. they're a little bit grabby and up here at the top Eric Decker stops when he gets grabbed and wants to try to draw a flag instead of going forward for the ball, that's how they're going to play, you know all that. things are a little allowed and I think if Deckard was just focused on trying to make the receiver still have a chance, he tried to get the flag and didn't make the fourth and a dozen impending kicks that were thrown at the 30 yard line right catches there by t-y hilton so luck will take over after a 51 yard punt with 199 passing yards in the first half and again of course catches take part of the 199 there but luck is in rhythm now Same for a 400 yard night.

I've already thrown three touchdown passes, yes, and if you have to say who's winning the quarterback battle so far, it's the throwbacks available to the younger colts. Donald Brown starts at running back first. Vickerson is in second place on the grass. You know, I know you often want to do it. try to stick to your game plan and peyton manning has done that over the years but as much as the colts want to stay balanced the weakness of the denver broncos defense has been their previous defense and now you take out champion bailly mix. I've got young Kavon Webster in there or the rookie.

I don't know, Andrew, luck is good. Maybe I'll let it go. Hamilton, the offensive coordinator who worked with Lucky at Stanford. It's a brutal place here when Aaron went to Arizona to coachin chief and the pass is thrown behind t.y hilton, so it will be third down in 12. Baltimore and they were excited when he got here and they started looking around and made big changes to try to install that system, but they needed a lot of players different here to make those changes and they made them quickly with the pedigree of ryan grigson pagan is defenseless hamilton throws the plays and luck executes them and the pass is caught but before the first attempt t and hilton making the grab dominique rogers crowmarty with the tackle in fourth down good That time we haven't seen a von Miller layoff yet, but we got a little pressure.

Here we go back inside in a daze. Sometimes those little bumps on the body start to at least make you think about it, especially on the rear end. falls with a fair reception when he is pinned on the bench at 16. a couple of minutes into the second half, Indianapolis for a dozen of such a record offensive pace and look, he catches four guys with 30 or more until week six . first team in league history to have four players with 30 or more achieve a completion percentage when throwing to those people. Well, Walker came from New England, of course, 76, right up there with everyone, so there's the top four, but Manning has been limited to 117 passing yards tonight Moreno is the back-flanking man in the first half gets caught by moreno boy I tell you to throw away those two consecutive passes that led to the first touchdown to decker that were good for 69 yards and done almost nothing, yes, and man coverage is a big part of this and really the inside receivers have to be able to beat Julius Thomas West Walker, those guys are really the key part of this Moreno, he still can't get to the 21 yard line, he says, they've made one, here's the frustrating part, you have two safeties in the middle of the field, even a decent race team should be able to make a difference with that, I think it was Antoine, but they went down. and it gave great press coverage across the board, they just go one on one, this is a man against a man, here we are driving in third and five blitzes are coming and he floats too far and incomplete and robert mathis came storming in again and it's The fourth down will again come in and try to run a little spike and take it to the outside, which was done very smartly that time by Bonte Davis, he saw the spike coming and fell back, so Peyton Manning once again couldn't put it in there are already a couple of three and outs for the broncos in the second half cole quick kick fair catch call made at the 29 yard line with 11 minutes left in the third quarter indianapolis trying in denver with its first loss the proud father in The moment is not Archie Manning, who is not here, but Oliver Lucky, father of Andrew Lucky, and Amino endorsed Archie with the Houston Oilers, played for the Oilers for five seasons and Oliver, now the athletic director at West Virginia, is here tonight and sees his son to return. to pass the first down and complete a seven yard play to tight end jack doyle, there's the team photo, the 82 houston oilers, archie and his backup, oliver lucky, yeah, what do you have to do when you're the quarterback of substitute field? to drive Archie's kids around, so this whole story that Andrew was telling while they were watching TV, his dad was telling that story over and over and over again, finally they got tired of it and three of the 36 and this is Trent Richardson , the Manning family has the passing academy. offseason and that's where Andrew Lucky met Peyton, Archie and Eli when he was about 10 or 11, he said he went to Payton and said, "You know, my dad used to play next to him," he said all the kids in I was trying to have a quick conversation with Peyton Manning and I was lucky that, thanks to Dad, I was able to hear some words because a run tonight for 11 yards was big to keep the drive alive on third down and two here from the 37.

Give it to Richardson in the internal trade and Richardson has moved to the team for about a month now. Collect the first try. Well, sometimes we see it a lot when the running game isn't going so well in the first half when fatigue starts to set in. Things start to happen a little better in the second half if you stick with it from the 43. When the Colts have the ball, I want to make sure they don't interfere with any signals, as long as they have which quarterback. is what, right in your mind, Nate Irving is going to come off the edge right here, right out the back door, this thing coming, he read. the little power play when mcglynn turned around and got there before the post code here there's the broncos, chance you get a stop on first down, you need to convert this second and the pass is incomplete, leading darius hayward bay a little too much, it'll be third and 11.

They tried to set it up with a little fake quick screen another way. I hadn't seen a slant thrown like that before, but I did it again and it didn't matter. Raheem Moore was sitting there waiting. your defense now, if you're Peyton Manning, is trying to find one for you, for whatever reason it hasn't been a good night on the offensive end and the defense just has to keep giving you opportunities on third and 11. destined for t.y hilton and in the same At the last second it seemed that Rogers Camardi could have touched us with the tip of the finger.

Dominic Rogers. Sometimes you will find yourself in these moments. It's just one on one and here you go. He knew it was a footrace with a very fast receiver in Ty Hilton. I couldn't tell, it seems he didn't put a finger on that one, yes, just the nail, maybe to throw it away, saved by a manicure vacation, to get the punt, but first an illegal procedure penalty is coming. Violation number 54, five-yard penalty, fourth. down, that's mario harvey enough to upset him a little why hilton had the big game against seattle a couple of touchdowns really took over that one, he already lost one before and it's all he can do now to keep possession within his own 10- yard line tough night for the holidays tough night for the broncos at this point as she performs to the sound of live music nbc denver's thursday, december 5 starts here with a three yard run by ronnie hillman representing julie andrews it is certainly nice to have a superstar on our team, but isn't it?

She's been a fantastic addition to MBC and we love Faith, but Gary has been fantastic at second and sixth to the outside and was taken down by the slow slow action of Darius Butler. up fast incomplete destined to welcome butler will need a moment darius butler against the welsh welker has simply been doing it, whether due to the fact that he played with him and the patriots or not, but his greatest asset has been his skills with the ball and what I've seen is that when Ryan Grigson we're still working on him there right now, so Butler and again they dressed 10 defensive backs tonight, they don't know how many years he's out of the game, so he's not coming back. , so they are down. to nine and an injury timeout here for butler the broncos lead without a first down averaging three per game this season seven tonight on the cusp of maybe an eighth with 36. josh gordy comes in to take darius' place butler and handle the gun was swinging out towards moreno and will not be able to reach the 20 yard line, he stops before the first attempt, so again the defense does its job.

The crew has been held to 124 yards on 22 punts again this looks like a troy game here leron landry so quick i told you there would be certain points in the game where you would see a running four on your screen That time, no, Sean Mourinho may or may not have seen it, but they get out of the game. field for the indianapolis potts britain colquitt who has had a pretty easy year playing with this offense suddenly in action tonight too much for his thanks this is his seventh field punt from the 30 yard line by t.y hilkin who runs the ball back to him 43 and again a pretty good field position for luck and company sunday night football presented by verizon trade and update on america's most trusted network by bmw we only do one thing: the ultimate driving machine and by the new movie host two theaters on December 20 all the media around the broncos and the colts and the preparation for this game, satellite trucks from all over meanwhile, there was a personal foul on Denver at the end of that play, for what luck will have an even better position on the field after the march.

We'll get the ball to the Denver 41-yard line, so with 6 49 to go on the Richardson third to the 39-yard line, that personal foul was on Virgil Green after the run, so it cost him 15. This makes it second try. eight now on the 39 yard line and here's the personal foul on the bottom right of the screen and there's the header, make sure you draw the clothes, good job by Andy Studebaker, basically just standing there with his hands in front of him, it is impossible. call that to the other side second and eight luck under pressure he throws it to wayne just one bullet to the 28 yard line and sean phillips came in at that moment there is another flag phillips really gave it to luck at the end of the play shepherds there is a little controller, yes there was something extra there also it looked like Vickerson had his helmet taken off.

I don't know exactly what happened with that, but it was a cannon shot from Andrew's 99th defense, yes, that's Vickerson and in the game they're traveling. at 12, they've already been hit with two big penalties on the last two plays, andrew lucky really loads up on this fastball and throws it to reggie wayne, like he does so often, he goes up and catches it, i think it was samson citely the one who was working on kevin vickerson and when he was on the ground he pushed him to the ground a little more, vickerson got upset and that was what caused the bad luck, now he settles at the 14 yard line after six minutes to play in the third fourth well, this is just beginning, isn't it?

Yes, to what extent Indy is dominating and right now luck will take a timeout with the Colts up by 12. John Elway, who has done a masterful job running football operations for the Broncos helping to build. This team was clearly instrumental in bringing Manning to Denver, but right now I see their team trailing 26-14 and the Colts have a first down at the 14-yard line and luck with timing again, and that will be a four-yard gain for Kobe Flemer. cleaner to the 10 yard line, it will be second down and six and Andrew looks good tonight. It's been fantastic.

He started a little. Darius Hayward Bay third and 11. I thought this was one of the plays of the game so far, just desired. his way to this first down jumping over for that one and then at the end of the half, a very creative drive for his team, second and six drops, he can run, as you know, to the end zone, dad greets him . I had a big 11-yard run for a first down earlier, take this one to the end zone for an 11-yard touchdown, a little coming-out party for a guy who doesn't need one, but every time you go up against Peyton Manning and you.

We're playing him at this level, it's a revelation, it's eight touchdown runs in a year and six and a half games to go for the Andrew Lucky miniseries with one point later and the Colts are up 33-14, they're trying to exert some pressure. here, but they have a hard time containing it, so once the luck hits the outside, they have man coverage and then reggie wayne with a little downfield block against crow marty to get luck into the end zone. look at reggie here at the end of This thing will just serve to keep the old basketball screen away from them.

My quarterback, dad loves it, most TD runs by a quarterback and of course the other two guys would be listed since 2012. Meanwhile we have the flags down during the timeout, Cam Newton with 10. griffin Seven Sedeli was injured in the extra point, he was already out of the game before when he went to the bench here, good luck with the touchdown and with the teams on the sidelines the flag where in fact a couple of flags were thrown as conduct number 94 for taking off the helmets, one of those 15-yard kickoff penalties will be assessed, that's for Terrance Knight and Kevin Vickerson, both, so the Broncos right now are falling apart, well, that's one thing you know about this Goldstein, that they normally don't know.

They beat themselves they came in with the fewest giveaways tied for that number and also a team that very rarely takes penalties so they are under control and right now as we've talked about falling apart a little bit the Denver Broncos Shatelli are They hurt again, nothing more. It's frustrating that you say the guy sprained my leg, yeah, remember, I think it was Kevin Vickerson who had a little trouble earlier on that trip, so maybe there was a little revenge for the extra point and then he took his helmet. Aside from that it cost them yards on the kickoff here that goes through the end zone, Denver's three drives in this half tonight have been three and this team at this point has had eight three and outs in the game inTotal, their last eight possessions look like that and that looks like anything with the Denver Broncos well and the other thing that's being done here tonight is some kind of plan that we're playing against Peyton Manning oh yeah, you know it's not that This is not new in any way, but the effectiveness of it has been surprising that there are five minutes left in the quarter and they are going to fire Manning, the flag falls when Mathis enters and he already had the loose ball, which resulted in the safety always being surprised a little when you don't see help against robert mathis, chris clark tried. to go with a quick series at that moment where he jumped on it, but Mathis just used that lever, came down, turned that corner like we saw him do last week, the only week he didn't get a sack and he's making up for it this night that last graph of michael strahan's attention 11 and a half in less than seven games is on a record base handling shots and the pass a little low but getting down to the ground is wes welker who makes only his second catch of the night to calm crowd at least momentarily and I think that was against Josh Boardy and Josh Doherty is concussed on the play and we've already seen Darius Butler come out of the game so maybe now that some of these man coverage guys are getting a bit of a shock that peyton manning can finally find someone open get free agents make trades in the nfl there are very few trades but the colts have been able to make some trades along the way here of course they drafted trent richardson Earlier this year since Cleveland, the most notable thing here is the coverage of the last play.

Wes Welker had a tough time all night getting away from Darius Butler. A little easier time. There really should have been interference in the past too, but when you're a man coverage team. and now you're down on a couple of corners and you remember that the cornerback position is the most difficult of all and darius butler came in and did a remarkable job, they said since the first day he got here they haven't been able to get his hands on . on any ball and not practice at all and Butler intercepted two passes his first day and Ryan Grigson before he took over basically told him listen, this is your last chance, you know you're a high draft pick, but no one's going to watch you if you can not.

Make this cold statement and there is a flag at the 47 yard line to call this to the Colts. Well, we talked about it all night. How physical are these full corners. Defense number 32. Automatic first attempt. There is cash. There's one right there. he's going to try to get in front of him, you can see they've been hanging around like that all night, sometimes you get the call, sometimes you don't, you gave up the ball earlier, pretty good coverage there, 22 yards. penalty and that Hillman goes for the 31 yard line, well you know Ronnie Hillman is a guy who can really help this team a little bit right now if you've gotten to the point where you're going to give up trying to run it.

Hillman is that shooter out of the backfield who could win some of these one-on-one battles. This time he goes to the right side and gains eight yards taking the ball to the 23 yard line, so there are three and a half left to go. the second down of the third quarter and two adam gase getting the play as fast as anyone in the league because peyton needs it right away, well yeah, and part of the trick of running this no-huddle offense is getting at least one first down and getting that impulse. so the broncos haven't been able to make rose which is caught by thomas which will be a first down freeman making the tackle there aren't many people julius thomas can't run away from but jerrell freeman is one of those guys who The guy who comes from Canada has been a great addition to this team.

You can't play man coverage across the board unless you have a linebacker who can cover a back or a tight end and that guy is one of the best in the league after all of those. Three and out Denver now with four first downs on this series and it's caught and turning is Wes Welker and he turns what would have been a five yard gain into a first down and a gain of 11. And look what happened, Antoine, but They, the safety, now have to go with Wes Welker due to the fact that they have both of their corners hurt, so those injuries are now starting to take their toll and Peyton Manning is starting to target Wes Welker again.

Now Butler is back in the game. Moreno with Manning. on first and goal and we have a whistle before the fast start 65 offensive five yard penalty is still first here like louis vasquez right tackle I'll tell you, although I would go right behind darius butler whatever took him Out of the game It looked like he was massaging the back of his cap, which means a cramp sometimes, I don't know for sure, but I'd make sure he was 100 with Wes Walker on a few plays in a row. He is welcome here. on first and goal from the 11 yard line and Manning will throw to the right side of the end zone and that will be caught, we believe that no player says I caught it and it was in bounds, but the referee is there, there is cash . with incomplete coverage on the second attempt, yes, he caught it, but he maintained control when falling to the ground, he was not knocked down, there he entered the pylon, but when falling to the ground you have to maintain control and I think it probably cost him the same. a touchdown by extending the ball there because then when he hit the ground he couldn't keep it in his hands, he also hit the pylon on the way to the ground on the second down and the goal, that's three receivers to the left and the game clock hits zero and you have to delay a game.

I think Manning was saying they didn't reset the clock properly after the last play, which is why he raised his hand. Jeffers said we did it and now you'll get a second chance from the 16 when he was first and goal. of the six thomas who tackle him immediately at the 13 yard line fonte davis third goal dante davis deserves to dance a little here in this ball game, but we've seen the broncos really go off on this drive decker. they have had the touchdown they have had problems with penalties, nothing like what we have seen from the broncos this year third and out of the goal zone to buffet so they can make it a two possession game with a field goal that they are going to submit In the drive here there are two possession games where you are losing by 14. and there are two possession games where you need two touchdowns and two two point conversions and that would be the case, if the kick here is good, probably there would be some There are teams that would say, "Okay, we might have to go for a touchdown here, but when you have Peyton Manning in the history of what this offense has done through the first six games, better than anyone we've ever seen, you have a Little Faith Crater has been perfect this season.

He is now 10 for 10 when he kicks a 31 yard field goal and that makes the score 33 to 17. So next Sunday night we will be in Minneapolis where the Green Bay Packers to face minnesota vikings aaron rodgers adrian peterson football gentleman kick off at seven ET packers one today 31-13 and michelle sephora travel expenses to be reduced to mileage afc west kansas city wins today houston gave them a handful, but kc is 7-0 now denver 6-0 comes tonight san diego wins today in jacksonville open two and four they don't realize what's happening with kansas city out there eh, de two wins last year to undefeated the Colts the year before went from two wins to the playoffs both trying to go to five and two, Tennessee loses to San Francisco today, protections two and five and the Jaguars are always seven, as we mentioned earlier since that Pagano took over and of course the Aryans last year when Chuck was recovering and luck came to this team here. they haven't lost two games in a row, they were eleven and five last year, they made the playoffs and lost to baltimore and cashless in the end zone and let's go to michelle, well starting center samson setelli is questionable with a right knee in this one moment you're sitting on the bench and you saw andrew lock taking some practice snaps with mike mcglinn who will go to center when the colts go back on defense, greg toller is questionable with a groin as is josh courty with a groin, so a lot of injuries happen in this The guys on the Colt sideline are fine, thanks Michelle, there are only seven defensive backs left at this time.

It's the Colts because Howell was out early, meanwhile, he was certainly out early. We mentioned he missed a couple of games and McGlynn moved from guard to center and then. We'll snap here with Brown at right-handed running back and luck will take off again and this will be a nine-yard run, so he's had runs of 11 11. And at least they're limiting him to nine. Well we finally found something that Andrew Lucky can't do, he can't slide down, very ugly, there in the first half he went head first when he had to have it, but on the first try I'll take a second and that's no problem.

Good aggressive play though from Pep Hamilton, I think everyone's sitting there starting to think okay, they're going to try and burn a little clock, go straight to smuggling and it's open to luck and that'll get us to the end of the last room. of three indianapolis 33. denver 17 and sunday night football was chris collinsworth michelle tafoya sunday night football manning returned to indiana but it has been the lucky night tonight up to this point 33-17 doubles by 16 seconds and one as we start the fourth quarter and this is Richardson fighting his way through the 30s to move the chains of longest winning streaks in NFL history the colts with 23 in the regular season are the last nine games of the reign from tony dungy here and jim caldwell's first 14 the patriots then had second and third place The Broncos' longest streaks right now tied with the Bears of 70 years ago at 17 and that, of course, is in danger, it's Shout out to Tony, who trained here from 02 to 08.

And he goes down the sideline and finally turns down. At the end and needs help getting up after a 30 yard gain, now you see why Al Davis drafted this guy with such high, pure speed that Al Davis always loved, but when he opens, he drives down the field, another good blocking from Reggie. Wayne, that almost broke out and good positioning that time by Kayvon Webster, who got inside him and made sure the ball never got there. Second and ten. I'll tell you, this K-von Webster has really made a name for himself in the past. For two or three weeks, Tony Carter had been kind of a defensive back, but for the last two or three weeks this guy has been one of the best players on the field and they talked about it saying this is a production business that we have in mind.

We, Jack del Rio, will tell you, so whoever is playing the best can play and that is now Kvon Webster South Florida, second down at 10 from the 39-yard line to the 34-yard line, Donald Brown won five thirds and five i's. I'll tell you something else that's going on here, at least from the Colts' standpoint, Donald Brown is getting most of these snaps or appears to be that way on first and second downs and Trent Richardson has been the trash guy under Richardson. He has 11. Here's his running game right there, luck, three carries at 30 yards and a touchdown and luck made that one deflect in the air and Malik Jackson, hit incomplete, gave him a hand and it will be fourth down and they're going to bring in Vina Terry at the 40.

One-year-old Adam Vinatieri came in for a long field goal attempt. Ron Miller with that old patented spin move almost went in, but that was Malik Jackson making another play. He did quite a few last week. He got the ball last week in San Diego, the first game. of his career he makes 250 yards or more field goals this is 52 away vina terry there is the fountain of youth we have to follow his diet wow 36-17 at the beginning of the game tonight but right now everything is indy meanwhile peyton wanted To make something perfectly clear, one of Jim Mercedes' comments last week was about the fact that Hayden had told him to recruit Andrew Lucky.

Well, Peyton said I only told him that after I knew it was going to be published and he asked me who you would cast. luck or robert griffin said he would recruit luck you want to make it clear he said you know irsay made it seem like that was in December it wasn't like that it was after payton already knew that they weren't going to pay the bonus and they were going to release him, yes, of It was somehow part of the decision of whether or not they were going to release him based on which quarterback he liked and that wasn't the case according to the page, according to the painting, he said, the only guy I've ever met.

I told him to select, it was me, what a bad night for Jim Irsay so far. I'm sure after all the press coverage he's received this week, watching this football team respond like this has been an enjoyable night. 13 minutes left and Manning will start. under pressure, he escaped the pocket, went deep to the edge of the field, juggled and was caught at the 30 yard line by Eric Decker, so he had taken his grass with him, a juggling act, but he manages to catchfor a great game like cash was fun, he just jumped. too soon I ended up falling trying to make a play and it ended up going over my head.

Good job by Decker keeping his focus, so at least we're starting to see this Broncos offense showing signs of what we received 49- Yard gain management and that one is broken, so a good position on Thomas was Vantay Davis, second try. Dante appears limping a little. Who has had a better game than Bonte Davis? This was the number one confrontation of the night. Demaryius Thomas. he gets single coverage, we go well every time and now vontay davis is down it's been a tough night in this secondary brother of 49ers tight end vernon came from miami another one of those deals affected by the new hierarchy here, well you know what they wanted be like a defense, they wanted to be a pressure defense, they wanted to take you on and play man to man and they didn't feel like they had the guys to be able to do that, greg minuski and brian brixton got together, they handpicked three new guys from three teams different, they throw a floater to the end zone and it is caught by demarius thomas for the touchdown, a wobbly duck that goes to the end zone and a little weakened, but Thomas is able to get there 31 yards and a touchdown and Fox says Let's go for two.

Well, Leron Landry is just going to turn around in this one. They come in here and Landry just stutters a step, too late and he can't come back, but let's go. give peyton manning some credit, his move inside that pocket, step up and get through is what gave thomas enough time to make that second move there, go for two to try to make it an eleventh point game, unless that they needed to score one point out of two. conversion shot for two and it's juggled and incomplete, so it's still a 12-point game. Thomas could not hold on, he disconnected at his own risk 12-11 to go 36-23 with 12 11 remaining in the fourth 13-point lead for Indianapolis. colts and colts who are the guard against a side kick a line like that too early to go in that direction ty hilton is back to kick off in two weeks two days of world class thoroughbred racing in the cup of breeders begins coverage on nbcsn leading up to the primetime classic on saturday november 2 and the site will be santa anita arcadia california for the breeders cup in two weeks numbers for these guys now peyton has thrown for 242 lucky with 229 and three runs for 30 yards richardson is the running back from the 20th spot first to the outside and great coverage right there because that's rogers cremarti attacking hayward bay and let's michelle a couple of updates on the samson colts injury citing that their starting center has been demoted, he's officially out that right knee when his cornerback josh gordy came out with a groin so two down thanks michelle and there's chitelli who was out earlier came back and got hurt again on a conversion attempt .

Richardson, unable to free himself, receives a group tackle, but is able to look forward, the ball goes out, the ball is loose. Fiancho appears with the ball, but the question is correct, yes, they say he was brought down in a big turnover, what did you say? Go at your own risk. Yes, you have. I've seen Peyton Manning before, right? Oh, there you have it, yes, clearly, Duke, what a story it has been for this team. He came out of nowhere to not only make the starting lineup, but also end up being a star on this team.

He didn't make a bigger play than that. John Fox knows that was the break they needed, he rips it off and now Manning goes to work for the 23-yard line after Richardson's fumble. Vantay Davis returns from the 23-yard line with 11 26 remaining. in the fourth and manning goes for six and incomplete intended for demaryius thomas covered by cassius wong second in 10. well peyton manning hasn't been hit much this season about 20 percent of the time it's the only time he gets contacted. but let's say the colts have done better than that but here's robert mathis again, no help at all for chris clark outside of him mathis gets to him but a little late and thomas catches and takes the ball to the 15 yard line where davis makes the entrance.

I don't think anyone is better than Peyton Manning at this. He knows as well as anyone that Mathis is going to beat Chris Clark, so he threw that ball in about a second and a half, which is the entire time he was third. down two territory down yes, I think so too and now we'll make sure it's for territory down because they don't tackle Sean Moreno, so they have the ball at the 14. You still have a lot of time left, but do you want to do it? It's 36-26, where are you going for it and are they going to do it?

You can't assume you're going to shut out the Colts' offense, especially with the way luck has been playing out. I agree with this decision fourth and one. from the 14. who comes behind to make the catch at the 12 yard line, darius butler makes the tackle and a first down didn't return another title, that back shoulder throws a lot of pick action here, they Let's move in now, but nothing blatant that time, Darius Butler ran over and gave Peyton Manning just enough space. Brady's throw in the Super Bowl was easier to catch the ball at the 12-yard line inside the 10th floor, spilling immediately after a four-sack gain twice including that fumble sack toward a five-bit safety. four knockdowns at this time second and six in the 8th. manning pressured again throws and welker cannot make the grab the coverage is very tight by butler third and six pressure going up from the right there ricky john francois but I will tell you darius butler we have seen wrapped in west welker all night when he was there handling throws caught and taken to the one yard line player loses his helmet but moves chains first down just before touchdown first and goals so this time they use the selection in the other direction, so now they are going to choose the outside guy and they will place it on the one yard line so that Decker comes out, takes his helmet with andre caldwell enters, you have moreno in the backfield, they don't give him a shot Moreno, he steps forward and goes in.

For the touchdown, Don't Sean Moreno takes it right on the other side of the goal line and Ianacho sets it up with the loose ball, creates the loose ball, handles the ball deep in Indy territory and right now it's a game. of seven points on six third and six peyton gave the signal on the outside and you can see Cassius Vaughn wavered enough on the pick, which is why a lot of teams screw up those pick plates because they feel like they have to make contact with the picks, the Broncos are much more sophisticated than that, they get in the way, but they don't necessarily make contact to avoid committing the fouls that other teams commit in exchange for the extra point and Indianapolis' advantage is now 36-30 thanks to that distance from the Duke robo balance presented by mcdonald's is open for the The first time you can vote for the best players regardless of their conference, the new format for this year's Pro Bowl will be held in late January from Honolulu, 36-30 in a wild game with plenty of time 8 44 to go and again Indy was protecting against the onside kick so Filton is there just to score it and Sunday night football is brought to you by Wendy's, xfinity, your home for most sports live, Corona invites you to find your beach and Hyundai, new ideas and new possibilities good still photos from earlier in the week the colts on that particular day practicing inside the bubble the other day outside have to go both ways in practice because they opened the roof tonight on a night where the temperature right now is about 50 degrees. there, donald brown and luck on the first down are hit, as he, like you, brown, who is hit by paris lennon, luck also shot on the play before the pass holding the defense number 51 five yards, andrew thought that He was going to get the pass completed anyway it bounces off Donald Brown's head, so even though he fell to the ground he's still trying to complete it, he's going to shoot for a seven yard pick up. fiancho making the entrance, we will call him six. second and four for Mike McGlinn, you can't underestimate his value in this game to be able to come in and replace the center, it's not like he's moving from guard to guard or guard to tackle when you come in and have to replace the entire center. changes you're making all the calls he's been pretty good brown on second and four he'll come up short paris lennon making the tackle and there's plenty of time left it's a pretty big third and one right here you know, sometimes you just need a first down or two to change the momentum, you know, you just don't want peyton manning to get the ball back, you already got it back with the fumble and then boom boom two touchdowns in a row and here you go and hope that your offense here can just stay the course, hit your defend a little more space and time to breathe.

Reggie Wayne couldn't handle the cheap shot. Wayne reached for his knee and rolled and now Reggie Wayne is there and Reggie Wayne is a guy who. never hurt immediate pressure inside here's reggie, they took it all out there and there was no one at the back of that field and you get the double whammy I couldn't see who it was that ended up putting in Trevathan that he should have known there. getting pressure and looking for luck holding his head afterwards saying oh my gosh this is a walk-on touchdown and reggie wayne oh my gosh it looks like he might have oh the double whammy, double whammy, wayne's sure to get hurt, very interesting play , call, look at marvin harrison who was on so many peyton manning passes so it's going to be a fourth down and a crowd starts chanting reggie 13 years in the league and for many of those years, overshadowed by harrison, they had dallas clark here like Well, Peyton was doing his thing, the team had a lot of success and, uh, Reggie finally got his due in the latter stages of his career, surpassed a thousand receptions for his illustrious career last week.

Well, you think about all the things that happen on that play, third and once you play action, you get Reggie Wayne wide open on the field, you missed the throw and potentially lose Reggie Wayne in the process and then when you look at it from again, what happens to Reggie when he falls and does he at least get up right now? You wonder if they had a better running game tonight, maybe you have Richardson there on third and one, maybe you go to Richardson, but they don't even have them in the game right now, well they can do it after the fumble they didn't they had.

Trust him and you go back to the fumble and how he could have impacted that play boy. Here we go, we're sure you know we were trying to encourage people to hang in there with this game, but she was promoting, you know, it never goes away. People in Tampa will forever remember that game where she was down 21 in that one and came back in the final minutes of that game, four minutes left on a Monday night. McAfee prepared for the eighth hit of him and said some boomers tonight. 60 longer, so Mr. Manning will go to work with his group from the 15 yard line. 707 left 36-30 in Indianapolis, three victories after trailing by 17 or more in the fourth quarter, including a spectacular comeback in 2003 for Indianapolis against Tampa Bay. and Manning will start with a fake play under pressure and then he throws an interception into Pat Angler's hands, so Manning had trouble, well, his flag is down, Manning had trouble escaping and they contact him for the moment, it's the interception , but the offense maintains the results of the play. the game is the interception eric walden put the pressure he put the heat on and created it i told you before in the game julius thomas is not very effective as a blocker excellent receiver this time a big task for him eric walden and it can be a game changer finally you get robert mathis blocked on the other side and it's Walden from the front, I don't think I would leave Thomas alone blocking one on one, I took care of the tight end a lot and now luck at the 20 yard line.

One second less than seven minutes to play in regulation and Brown can't go anywhere Kevin Vickerson stops him in his tracks and Wayne goes back to the locker room talking about a guy who shows up to work every day and isn't used to seeing Wayne playing um 189. consecutive games have a bye week next week they have their bye week and then they resume play in two weeks like Houston on a Sunday night second and thirteen to the corner and he didn't catch it he didn't catch it Hayward Bay he was there catch him Webster covering It will be third and 13.

Well, according to Reggie Wayne, no one spends more time catching balls from the pitcher machine. Darius Hayward Bay, works hard at his craft, but can't capture that one the last two weeks. He has had the opportunity. to make about three really good catches, all of them catchable, and he hasn't come up with any of those game-changing third-and-13 plays. They're in field goal range, but one more, here's the luck, he runs away and then just launch. it's incomplete so you're bringing vinatari in right now for what will be a 42 yard field goal attempt to make it a two gamepossessions.

Well, this Broncos defense also knows who they have at quarterback, so they had to do it. they come up with a stop, they come up with a stop now you have to wait, uh, something that doesn't happen very often, this guy who misses hasn't missed within 50 for quite some time, that Overton will break it, Pat McAfee it will. keep it on a 42 yard attempt after the turnover to keep it with a nine point lead 39-30 and let's go with michelle well you guys saw reggie wayne coming back to the locker room he's done for the night with a kneeling frame that won't do it.

He came back as he was walking back, I'm not sure if you could see it, tears in his eyes, there was so much frustration on his part on the bench, slamming his hand on the bench, and different guys, the team doctor, Arthur Reddick, stood up. Dave Hammer was approached by his head coach, Andrew Lucky. sitting with him all trying to console him but he was inconsolable and we can see it right there, Michelle returning to the locker room and Iron Man working hard and again the only good news for Reggie would be a week off of the bye week and they would resume. playing in houston in two weeks most back to back games for wide receivers tim brown is 199 harold jackson the old eagle at 190 and reggie with that 189 and hopefully he still goes to Mcafee to start and you have vacation fashion he will come out of four yards trying to turn the corner and I can't cover very well tonight against a guy who is very capable of that spectacular running back as he has shown in recent years and Peyton Manning tells us that he never raises the shadow like they are doing. he landed entering a city but when he got to Indianapolis it was just different he raised the blinds he took a look at what used to be his house and you know he would like nothing more than to put together one of those Peyton Manning type comebacks in At the end of this, I think It's a lot of fun to look out the window during takeoff tonight, heading back to Denver from the 15.

Manning gets sacked at the eight yard line and couldn't escape. Francois was the first to enter and then Freeman finished him off. You get so used to Jarrell Freeman covering that when he blitzes it's a little unexpected, and yet he has several sacks on the year, sometimes you have guys who are so good at doing both that you don't know whether to blitz or play. They in coverage second and 17 on the outside and it's Eric Decker making the catch but buddy Davis is there preparing a pick again but Davis Head didn't want to hear about it, here's my most valuable player of the night right here vontae davis, I think that Welker is going to be able to take him out, he saw it all the way and now you are at third and you backed up for a long time on third and 17.

Here they take away many precious seconds when Manning throws and Welker catches it at the Tremendous catch at the 33 yard line, oh What a catch, I don't think I ever saw this ball until it just came out of there and oh man, how did he make that catch that's incredible 24 yards on third and 16? and now that pass will be caught at the indy 40 yard line by demaryius thomas a walker man catch a dime to tom brady's thoughts right now oh my god gain of 27 four minutes to go davis is there back to the cash from welker he had to work really hard to get over Darius Butler and then the ball was on him and well, it's an easy ball to drop right there.

He's made some sensational catches tonight and on middle Welker again, that will be a first. down takes it to the 26 yard line six catches tonight 71 yards I love that a wes welker came out like he was going to make one of those picks or the wheels went back inside to go in the oven we have half and that will be Caught by Welker again, what a show he is putting on. Butler saves the touchdown, but the ball will be on the two-yard line. They set it up with the previous play because last time he came out and then this time he just comes out. they get the pick on the outside and peyton manning is on a roll in the first two and goal hillman is swallowed before a line of scrimmage on second chance at the goal there's a lot of looking around here now i'm not sure laurent landry says that thing is our peyton manning said let's go to the line of scrimmage here guys, when you start looking at this, we don't need any, let's see this chuck fergano with his hand on the flag, the ball is out, who comes up with the question well, it seems that it could have been a bronco that recovered it, you have to have a clear recovery, so it's one thing to win the fumble challenge and another thing to make sure you recover the fumble and that has to be clearly demonstrated, but I think they said that it was a Colts ball in the field, which would mean that if that were the case, and again we talked about Hillman earlier and one of the problems has been the problem of putting the ball on the ground. 76 reports is eligible 76 is eligible now they are going to rule it, they ruled it, the ball is out, there is no doubt that it was ruled a fumble, so the challenge would have to come from Fox and since it is not clear, no there's a challenge and Indy gets the ball at the three yard line and you don't want to give up those timeouts, no you don't, and moving forward is really because now you have to start using those timeouts under the three yards to go and fox, it was kind of It's interesting in that fumble that you could see Hillman, if he could have rolled a little, he had the ball trapped against his side, but it was against his body, that's where the balls come out, without a doubt, Now Hillman is there and he is.

He put his hand right there and has it stuck in his body, you could almost say that he was down at that moment and had control, but there the ball slides a little, moves and finally comes out, that would have been an interesting challenge . Antoine Bethay finished with the ball, so it's a second try with eight. There are two timeouts left for Denver plus the two-minute clock stoppage and that pass is high and that's a big favor for Denver. It's a big favor for dendritic there's a flashlight in the end zone vickerson he's a killer i don't think vickerson was even close to him in the back of the end zone he retreats oh my god oh my god oh he's saying that You've got to be kidding me.

I know it's just the big man running into the quarterback. I just don't like that other personal foul on Vickerson. He's first down at the 20. Trent Richardson came back into the game and of course it was his fumble that he gave up to Denver. Major Life and they stopped it at the 21-yard line and now they took another timeout here at 243, but Denver now has a two-minute warning timeout, but that penalty was huge. You had an incomplete pass. you're going to stop you're going to save a timeout just one more thing on the Hillman fumble just to make this perfectly clear as we talked about what Fox could have challenged what Fox could have challenged was that he was down before the ball came out , it was already ruled that he lost the ball and then the recovery is not possible, he could not have challenged the recovery at that time, so he knew that he would have lost the challenge because the ball was clearly out even though there were doubts about who had the ball at the end of the play, so second down and now nine on the 21-yard line and here's Richardson, he's not going anywhere again, but at least he's hanging on to the ball and now Denver will take their last timeout, so it's third and eight, they have to stop it here to get the ball back and the clock would stop at two. -Minute warning as Cindy could run it all the way and then they would need a touchdown and a field goal.

One more look at that personal fault of Vickerson. We gave him a small chest. I'll give him a little punch on the chest. I think luck did a good job of acting a little bit, but this league did, but why waste time at that point? I mean, you know what you're doing crazy and especially the situation that would have been, as I say, a blessing for Denver on every level, incomplete. third and long is now third down and nine goals are given to Brown and he will take it to the 22 and that will take that clock to the two minute warning, so after the two minute warning you will have a McAfee punt. and then Manning will have to lead a couple of drives, one that results in a touchdown and one that results in a field goal, so obviously they can go either way, get three plus seven or seven plus three and obviously there's an onside kick in the middle of Walmart.

You still have to get into the Christmas trends, yes, if he does, but McAfee had a big two-minute warning night at the Indiana State Capitol, 39-30 votes right after the game. Michelle on the field with the stars of the game. Bob Tony and Mike. analyze it all, look back, see what happened today in the nfl and look ahead to next week's plan between the packers and vikings sunday night, only football break is back, denver prepared for a lockdown and mcafee's kick is a beauty and you have a gap in front of you, but it's against indianapolis, yes, i would definitely be bankrolling that 45th drive, half the distance to the goal, a 10 yard penalty repeated on fourth down, yes , because that's a 50 kick it would have been 157 yards, well now you have the The old dreaded punt team ran down the field one time and tried to catch them again too with that interception that looms large here, isn't it the pressure on Peyton Manning that they have been able to exert that other teams have not been able to achieve? both rushing him and putting pressure on his wide receivers on the outside has really been the way the colts have done it so far tonight, well jacksonville showed a little bit of that last week, even completely overmatched and able to give him a couple of licks and now mcafee, this one wobbles, you have another flag coming in and out from the 44 yard line and it will go out of bounds against the coal spread, then another flag at the end of the play, so he had a flag immediately and then one at the end of the play and that will be against Indy again.

They took 18 seconds off the clock on those two kicks on the way here, so at least one decision will go against Indy. It definitely looked like a block in the back. I thought whoever the back was made a little takedown move on his guy, but there's no flag on that one having the options explained here or at least the interpretation of the calls and clearly John is going to have to make a decision because he's going to be the one. beneficiary of what happens here in terms of penalty number 29 of the infraction having the defense number 12 illegal block on the backside number 53 of the receiving team all those made fouls will be repeated on fourth down, so you will play it again and What do I mean I mentioned that 18 seconds have already left the clock?

It's a pretty good strategy. Keep taking compensatory penalties and time will run out. We're talking about the second time you have to run down on a punt. Here comes the third time. I have to run on a punt and the break this time is at the 40 yard line and I think that's exactly what happened here. They decided they're going to take a timeout and just give the guys a little bit of a break. Well, this was as anticipated. A regular season matchup, as I can remember in as many years, was a crazy game in some ways, but Indianapolis took control from the start.

It looked like Peyton was going to make a tremendous comeback and still could, but overall, it's a pretty memorable night. And it's a big night for Andrew Lucky. I want to bring back Peyton Manning here and the love story and the big reception and the tribute and all that stuff and yet here you are the guy who's trying to replace him not only with this football team. but in this community it's next and I think the mission was accomplished here tonight. Well, luck told us the other day that we look to address this like every other week and of course the good thing for him is that he was very much out of the spotlight that Peyton was in.

Jim Irsay was completely bathed in it and luck just went about its business and Holliday will let it bounce which doesn't help either yeah I mean Holiday could have come in and made a fair catch and then you have some action to go for the 38. Meanwhile, from the two-minute warning and the three hits, it took 32 seconds or about a quarter of the rest of the game off the clock, which was a big no-catch at the end of that punt that probably took another 10 to go. seconds, so again here goes Manning and again you can do it if they get into field goal range.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them take it right away and then try the onside kick first. Manny goes to work at the 38- yard line shots caught decker get the first of the 43 but there are no timeouts left on the clock 115 it's an interesting discussion if they get it in field goal range if you kick the shot field then you get the site kick you have to assume that the hail mary situations are a little more obvious at the end of the game in that situation I think that's what they do if they get into field goal range and the carriers very well you have You shoot at three and you have to kick it anyway,you got the touchdown second to 10. and driving to the outside and Thomas has to make sure he gets out of bounds and he does, he gets the first down.

You have 58 seconds. Now you're going to place the ball at the 30 29 yard line, so you'll see a 47 yard attempt, probably run another play before you want to bring Crater into the game. How close is close enough? Although I think they are going. to continue this for a while, well, they still have 58, you still have Manning and Peyton they will pressure him and throw him and there will be no problem because that will stop the pockets. Moreno wouldn't have won much anyway, second. and ten who are afraid to loosen the screws have received a fairly constant pressure on the inside, we are talking about Robert Mathis, but they have received some pressure at that moment feeling that Walla put some raw heat on the sideline 52 seconds, second and 10 .My opinion should have made it.

I guess you could say he's going for the ball and you're getting confused, but that definitely takes away Welker's chance to catch it before the ball arrives, but he goes up and is making a play on the ball, probably contact. incidental. I'm going to change my mind, so that was the right yard line and now you're almost forced to understand that, you've got to get it out, yeah, yeah, you've got to get them out, they're going to run right now, you've got to try. Kicking a field goal will be 46 yards and ten and then an onside kick, but that's a big difference between an incomplete pass in that situation and now, because they make a substitution, the officials will also let the colt substitute, which keep going. to burn the clock right at 15.

The charger kick from 47 will be good, but now you have to recover, you have to recover an onside kick and then you will have a hail or maybe two plays at most 39-33 and uh del rio on the bench arguing that there should have been interference on the homecoming, even defensive coordinators can argue in that case, well, I think what he's saying is that it's a field goal, they don't have to match substitutions on a field goal. field like you would do a defensive play where the offense comes in and makes a change, at least that's what my lip reading told me, so now you have the special teams going over how to cover and take care of onside kicks if your Indianapolis I had to cover them. denver needs to recover it has to go 10 yards before you can touch it the kicking team unless the receiving team touches it first and it's a free ball there we go here are the two receivers these walls here they are going to try to go up and block to set it up for the guys in back lavon brazil and darius butler is a hopper and that will go out of bounds but it's out of brazil's hands and indianapolis will be able to run out the clock well so peyton manning will keep his helmet on but he can take it off in 11 seconds because The Indianapolis Colts will come out with a victory and again in Pagano's reign in Lux's reign here this team has not lost two in a row after a season in which they finished 2 and 14. and the colts go to five and two and give Denver its first loss of the season and that means you could have gone about a million to one as we approach the end of October, the Kansas City Chiefs are the only undefeated team in national football. league and this is no fluke for the colts, they already beat san francisco there, they beat seattle here and now they beat the undefeated broncos here, so this is a team that has played a very difficult schedule and is starting to look like one of those teams, the Denver Broncos, may have to meet again in the future.

Great point because so many powerhouses Denver San Francisco and Seattle were one, two, three in any order you wish the Colts had beaten them all, so many friends and people on the other side. of the field who knows so well what he was telling us about the clubhouse guys that he still makes a call there once a week to the clubhouse guys in Indianapolis still pays dues to the clubhouse guys who are very connected to this organization. Still, but welcome to the land of luck, I think we have one of those moments here, yeah, so the Broncos go home, they beat Washington next week.

Mike Shanahan returns to the Denver Colts. They are free, they play in two weeks in Houston. It will be a Sunday night game 39-33 is our finale and next up will be Wendy's postgame report from Indianapolis.
