INDIANAPOLIS (Ticker) -- Even without Marvin Harrison, PeytonManning had enough weapons to keep the Indianapolis Colts'offense rolling. Manning threw two touchdown passes to tight end Dallas Clark asthe Colts overcame the loss of Harrison and a slow start to posta 38-20 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Harrison left the game late in the first quarter with a twistedleft knee. He returned for one series, but went to the lockerroom just before halftime and did not return. Manning had been somewhat unhappy with the Colts' execution inthe red zone, but that was not an issue Sunday as Indianapolisscored touchdowns on all five trips inside the 20. Manning finished 20-of-27 for 193 yards yards and three TDs tokeep the defending Super Bowl champions unbeaten. The Colts (4-0) featured a balanced attack as Joseph Addairushed for 136 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries beforeleaving with a shoulder sprain in the fourth quarter. But Indianapolis got off to a sluggish start as the Broncos(2-2) scored a field goal, touchdown and another field goal ontheir first three possessions to build first-half leads of 10-0and 13-7. The Colts surrendered 133 yards in the first quarter and allowedDenver running back Travis Henry to surpass 100 yards beforehalftime. Indianapolis finally forced a punt when Henry was stopped for a1-yard gain on 3rd-and-2 at the Broncos 29 with two minutesremaining in the first half. The defensive stop came after the Colts had a taken a 14-13 leadon Manning's 9-yard TD pass to Clark. Inianapolis' offense was unstoppable in the second half, scoringthree touchdowns and a field goal on its first fourpossessions. Manning played a part in all three TDs as he scored on a 1-yardrun, then tossed TD passes of three yards to Clark and fiveyards to Reggie Wayne for a 35-20 lead. It was only the second two-TD game for Clark, who also had twoTD receptions in a 49-14 win over the Houston Texans on November14, 2004.

INDIANAPOLIS (Ticker) -- Even without Marvin Harrison, PeytonManning had enough weapons to keep the Indianapolis Colts'offense rolling. Manning threw two touchdown passes to tight end Dallas Clark asthe Colts overcame the loss of Harrison and a slow start to posta 38-20 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Indianapolis spotted Denver a 10-0 lead after the first quarter,but scored on six of its next seven possessions to wincomfortably. "We've been down early in the game," Manning said. "Certainly,it's not a panic situation, but there is a sense of urgency togo out and get the lead." Harrison left the game late in the first quarter with a bruisedleft knee. He returned for one series, but went to the lockerroom just before halftime and did not return. Manning had been somewhat unhappy with the Colts' execution inthe red zone, but that was not an issue Sunday as Indianapolisscored touchdowns on five of its six trips inside the 20. "Each game, you just try to go out and get better," said Coltsrunning back Joseph Addai, who rushed for 136 yards and a TD on19 carries. "That's something we really worked on and we gotbetter." Manning finished 20-of-27 for 193 yards yards and three TDs tokeep the defending Super Bowl champions unbeaten. The Colts areoff to their fourth straight 4-0 start. "We talk about the season in terms of quarters," Manning said."That was kind of the first quarter, and it was a good one." But Indianapolis got off to a sluggish start as the Broncos(2-2) scored a field goal, touchdown and another field goal ontheir first three possessions to build first-half leads of 10-0and 13-7. Still, it could have been worse for the Colts as the Broncosmanaged only one TD on three trips in the red zone in the firsthalf. "They just played a better game than we did," Broncos defensiveend Elvis Dumervil said. "We had some great opportunities. Wejust needed to take advantage of them." The Colts surrendered 133 yards in the first quarter and allowedDenver running back Travis Henry to rush for 106 yards beforehalftime. Indianapolis finally forced a punt when Henry was stopped for aone-yard gain on 3rd-and-2 at the Broncos 29 with two minutesremaining in the first half. The defensive stop came after the Colts had taken a 14-13 leadon Manning's 9-yard TD pass to Clark. "Our goal was to take the lead and take them out of theirone-dimensional phase of running the ball and running theclock," Manning said. "It took us a while to get the lead, butwe finally got there at the end of the first half." Indianapolis' offense was unstoppable in the second half,scoring three touchdowns and a field goal on its first fourpossessions. Manning played a part in all three TDs as he scored on a 1-yardkeeper, then tossed TD passes of 3 yards to Clark and 5 yards toReggie Wayne for a 35-20 lead. With Addai leading the way on the ground, the high-powered Coltswore down the Broncos by rushing for 226 yards. "It wasn't like he (Manning) was doing anything spectacular,"Denver cornerback Champ Bailey. "It's just that the run gamewas killing us." It was only the second two-TD game for Clark, who also had twoTD receptions in a 49-14 win over the Houston Texans on November14, 2004. "We were able to get the running game going," Clark said. "Wewere able to get some big runs and get the chains moving. Whenyou do that, it takes a lot of pressure off the passing game." The Colts also did a much better job on Henry, holding him to 25yards in the second half. "He's one of the top backs in the league," Colts cornerbackMarlin Jackson said. "He's a load. He's 5-9, 230 pounds andhe's strong. We didn't do that well in the first half, but weturned it around in the second half." Jay Cutler completed 13-of-21 passes for 131 yards for theBroncos, who dropped their second straight game. "We've got to help (the defense) out as an offense and we didn'tdo a good enough job of that," said Broncos receiver BrandonStokley, who made his first appearance in Indianapolis since theColts released him in the offseason.
Re: NFL: DENVER (2-1) at INDIANAPOLIS (3-0) A Denver television reporter, who watched Manning put 41 and 49 points against Shanahan in the past two playoff meetings, joked: "They made progress by forcing them to punt twice." That's about the only moral victory Sunday for the Broncos, who fell to 2-2 and face the Chargers (1-3) at home next week.</p> Hahahahahahaha</p> </p>
