OAKLAND, California (Ticker) -- For most of the game on Sunday,it was difficult to tell whether the Indianapolis Colts were ontheir way to securing a first-round bye in the playoffs oralready taking their week off. Peyton Manning led a fourth-quarter comeback and helped theColts overcome an uneven first half en route to a 21-14 victoryover the Oakland Raiders. Indianapolis (12-2) won its fifth straight AFC South Divisioncrown and guaranteed itself a first-round bye in the playoffswith the win when the Pittsburgh Steelers (9-5) lost to theJacksonville Jaguars (10-4) earlier in the day. The Colts alsoreached the 12-win mark for an NFL-record fifth straight season. Even though they held a slim 10-7 lead at the break, the Coltswere unable to establish any kind of working margin by a Raidersteam that ran 39 times for 149 yards, continually frustratingan Indianapolis offense that had scored at least 28 points ineach of their previous three contests. With the Colts trailing, 14-13, after a 2-yard rushing touchdownfrom Justin Fargas, Manning responded with a clutch drive onthe next series, leading the Colts on an 11-play, 91-yard marchthat ended with a 20-yard TD catch by rookie Anthony Gonzalez,who scored for the third time in his last two games. Oakland drove to the Indianapolis 16 with 1:54 remaining, butJosh McCown's pass to Jerry Porter fell incomplete. The Coltsthen ran out the remainder of the clock. After Indianapolis converted its opening drive into a 22-yardfield goal by Adam Vinatieri, the Colts defense forced athree-and-out on Oakland's first possession. Raiders punterShane Lechler unleashed a 53-yard punt to Colts punt returnerT.J. Rushing, who broke loose for a franchise record-tying90-yard punt return TD. Already holding a 10-0 advantage to begin the second quarter,the Colts had appeared to take a 16-0 lead on their second driveof the game, but an apparent 5-yard touchdown run by Manningwas reversed after a replay review when it was deemed the balldid not cross the goal line. On the next play, Manning's 4th-and-goal pass from the Oakland 1to tight end Ben Utecht was incomplete. The Raiders not only denied Manning of a touchdown pass on theplay, but methodically marched down the field on the subsequentdrive that chewed up nearly all of the second quarter. McCown capped a 20-play, 99-yard drive that exhausted 11:49 ofthe second when he executed a play-action fake to the right,rolled left and found Ronald Curry in the left flat to trim theColts lead to 10-7. Fargas, who surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the firsttime in his five-year career on the last play of the thirdquarter on a six-yard rush, gave the Raiders their first leadwith 10:33 remaining in the final quarter, scoring his fifth TDof the season to stake Oakland to a 14-13 lead. Fargas turned in another workmanlike effort with 89 yardsrushing on 26 carries for the Raiders (4-10), who guaranteedtheir fifth consecutive season 10-loss season. Rookie JaMarcus Russell, the first overall pick, made his secondcareer appearance when he started the second half in relief ofMcCown. He finished 2-of-5 for 10 yards in three series.

OAKLAND, California (Ticker) -- For most of the game on Sunday,it was difficult to tell whether the Indianapolis Colts were ontheir way to securing a first-round bye in the playoffs oralready taking their week off. Peyton Manning led a fourth-quarter comeback and helped theColts overcome an uneven first half en route to a 21-14 victoryover the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. Indianapolis (12-2) won its fifth straight AFC South Divisioncrown and guaranteed itself a first-round bye in the playoffswith the win when the Pittsburgh Steelers (9-5) lost to theJacksonville Jaguars (10-4) earlier in the day. The Colts alsoreached the 12-win mark for an NFL-record fifth straight season. "You can never take it for granted, winning your division,"Manning said. "It's a good accomplishment, obviously, we wantto keep it in context. We want to keep improving and try to beplaying our best football here in the month of December andJanuary." "Winning our 12th game and getting that second seed - a lot ofbig things happened for us today," Colts coach Tony Dungy said."Again, I am just very proud of our team and the way we havefought all year." Even though they held a slim 10-7 lead at the break, the Coltswere unable to establish any kind of working margin by a Raidersteam that ran 39 times for 149 yards, continually frustratingan Indianapolis offense that had scored at least 28 points ineach of their previous three contests. "That was a very hard-fought game," Dungy said. "We had tobring everything to get it done." With the Colts trailing, 14-13, after a two-yard rushingtouchdown from Justin Fargas, Manning responded with a clutchdrive on the next series, leading the Colts on an 11-play,91-yard march that ended with a 20-yard TD catch by rookieAnthony Gonzalez, who scored for the third time in his last twogames. "I would say, bad route, great throw," Gonzalez said. "I reallywasn't open but Peyton put it in a perfect spot, which he doesquite often. It helps having him throwing the ball. It workedout well and, obviously, we had great protection on the play and(were) fortunate to get in there when we needed it." "Gonzalez was hitting a couple slants on (No.) 27 (FabianWashington), so we tried to run a little slant-and-go," Manningsaid. "The guy had pretty good coverage on that one, so I justthrew it on the back shoulder - a little underthrow on purpose -(and) the guy kind of lost the ball and we got into the endzone." Oakland drove to the Indianapolis 16 with 1:54 remaining, butJosh McCown's pass to Jerry Porter fell incomplete. The Coltsthen ran out the remainder of the clock. After Indianapolis converted its opening drive into a 22-yardfield goal by Adam Vinatieri, the Colts' defense forced athree-and-out on Oakland's first possession. Raiders punterShane Lechler unleashed a 53-yard punt to Colts punt returnerT.J. Rushing, who broke loose for a franchise record-tying90-yard punt return TD. "Coming back to the bay, I wanted to have a good performance andthe guys blocking for me allowed me to do that," said Rushing,who played his college ball at Stanford. Already holding a 10-0 advantage to begin the second quarter,the Colts had appeared to take a 16-0 lead on their second driveof the game, but an apparent five-yard touchdown run by Manningwas reversed after a replay review when it was deemed the balldid not cross the goal line. On the next play, Manning's 4th-and-goal pass from the Oakland 1to tight end Ben Utecht was incomplete. The Raiders not only denied Manning of a touchdown pass on theplay, but methodically marched down the field on the subsequentdrive that chewed up nearly all of the second quarter. McCown capped a 20-play, 99-yard drive that exhausted 11:49 ofthe second when he executed a play-action fake to the right,rolled left and found Ronald Curry in the left flat to trim theColts lead to 10-7. Fargas, who surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the firsttime in his five-year career on the last play of the thirdquarter on a six-yard rush, gave the Raiders their first leadwith 10:33 remaining in the final quarter, scoring his fifth TDof the season to stake Oakland to a 14-13 lead. "It's a good accomplishment, something that every runner shootsfor," said Fargas of the milestone. Fargas turned in another workmanlike effort with 89 yardsrushing on 26 carries for the Raiders (4-10), who guaranteedtheir fifth consecutive 10-loss season. Rookie JaMarcus Russell, the first overall pick in the 2007draft, made his second career appearance when he started thesecond half in relief of McCown. He finished 2-of-5 for 10yards in three series. "I'm a pretty confident guy but, at times, you can get down onyourself," Russell said. "I'm pretty sure coach (Lane Kiffin)knows what he's doing, so if he wants to put me in or take meout, it doesn't matter to me because I'm making progress."
