With each team making the final of three seasonal appearances on
Monday Night Football, the Indianapolis Colts, 10-0, host the Pittsburgh
Steelers, 7-3, on November 28. Kickoff for the contest, telecast nationally by ABC Sports, is 9:00 p.m. (EST). CBS/Westwood One provides
national radio coverage.
The Colts and Steelers have a series that spans 21 games and dates back
to 1957. Pittsburgh owns a 13-4 regular-season series edge and has
emerged victors in four playoffs contests between the teams. Monday’s
battle shapes up as a high-profile affair played on a national audience stage
between teams with good records and playoff aspirations. Through 10
games, the Colts sit atop the AFC South in pursuit of a third division crown.
Pittsburgh is engaged in a spirited battle for first-place in the AFC North.
The Colts are 2-0 on Monday Night Football this season, taking a 45-28
home win over St. Louis on October 17 and a 40-21 win at New England
on November 7. This is the first time since 1978 the Colts have had three
seasonal appearances on Monday Night Football. The Steelers forged a 2422 win at San Diego on October 10 and a 20-19 home win over Baltimore
on October 31 in their appearances on the ABC venue. Indianapolis owns
a 16-10 record on Monday Night Football, while Pittsburgh is 33-20.
Indianapolis enters Monday’s contest coming off a 45-37 win last
Sunday at Cincinnati. Indianapolis owns triumphs in 18 of its last 19 regular-season games. Indianapolis’ win over Houston two weeks ago marked
the third time in franchise history the club has won nine consecutive home
games (9, 11/24/57 to 9/27/59; 9, 11/2/75 to 11/1/76). This week the Colts
will be seeking the 400th victory in franchise history, dating back to 1953.
A victory on Monday would make the Colts the 14th NFL team with 400
victories. The Colts have produced the 15th 10+-victory season in franchise history, and it marks the first time the club has done it in four consecutive seasons. The win last Sunday gave Tony Dungy his 7th double-digit
seasonal victory total in 10 years as a head coach. Pittsburgh dropped a 1613 overtime decision last Sunday at Baltimore.
Indianapolis reaches Monday’s contest with a 10-0 record, the best
seasonal start in franchise history. The 1958 Colts opened 6-0 before
dropping a game. The 1967 Colts squad opened 4-0-2 and ran their record
to 11-0-2 before losing the finale at Los Angeles and missing the playoffs
with an 11-1-2 record. Thirteen undefeated games is the franchise’s
longest season-opening streak without a loss. Indianapolis is the lone
unbeaten team in the NFL and stands as only the 9th team since 1970 to
open a season 10-0 (14-0, Miami, 1972; 13-0, Denver, 1998; 12-0,
Chicago, 1985; 11-0, Washington, 1991; 11-0, Miami, 1984; 10-0, San
Francisco, 1990; 10-0, New York Giants, 1990; 10-0, Minnesota, 1975).
The pre-Merger teams that opened with a 10-0 mark include Green Bay
(1929, 1962), Detroit (1934), Chicago (1934, 1942), Cleveland (1953),
San Diego (1961) and Los Angeles Rams (1969).
Tony Dungy is 44-14 at the Colts’ helm. Dungy joined the Colts in
January of 2002, after serving as Tampa Bay’s head coach for six seasons
(1996-01). Dungy’s career regular-season record is 98-56, and he has an
overall record of 103-63. Dungy became the 35th coach in NFL history to
earn 100 career victories with a 38-20 win at Houston on 10/23/05. Dungy
became the 20th coach since entering the league in 1970 to win 100
games. Of those 20, only George Siefert (132), Joe Gibbs (148), Mike
Ditka (151), Mike Holmgren (160) and Mike Shanahan (161) reached 100
wins faster than Dungy’s pace of 163 games. Dungy owns a 74-32 mark

since the start of the 1999 season (30-18 at Tampa Bay; 44-14 with Colts),
and he is the NFL’s winningest coach during that span (68-38, Andy Reid,
Philadelphia). He has directed seven of his nine teams into the playoffs.
Dungy took Tampa Bay to four playoff appearances during his tenure as
field general. He has led the Colts to 10-6, 12-4 and 12-4 marks in his first
three seasons, joining Ted Marchibroda (1975-77) as the only Colts coaches to produce 10+ wins and playoff appearances in the first three seasons
with the club. This year, Dungy has helped produce the 15th 10+-victory
season in franchise history, and he is one of five Colts head coaches to earn
double-digit victory totals (4, Shula; 3, Marchibroda; 2, McCafferty; 2,
Jim Mora). Dungy has seven career double-digit victory seasons (11-5,
1999; 10-6, 1997; 10-6, 2000 with Tampa Bay; 12-4, 2003; 12-4, 2004;
10-6, 2002; 10-0, 2005 with Colts) and stands as the only NFL head coach
to defeat all 32 NFL teams. The Colts have produced a 73-33 regular-season record since 1999, a victory total that leads the NFL. The Colts are
one of three teams (St. Louis, Philadelphia) to appear in the playoffs five
times in the last six seasons. Indianapolis won the AFC South in 2003 and
2004. Indianapolis has owned or shared the division lead in 55 of 62
weeks of AFC South existence. Under Dungy, the Colts are 21-7 at home
and 23-7 on the road. Dungy (1999-04) has earned six consecutive playoff appearances (1999-01 at Tampa Bay; 2002-04 with Colts), ranking
only behind Tom Landry (9, Dallas, 1975-83), Chuck Noll (8, Pittsburgh,
1972-79) and Mike Holmgren (7, Green Bay/Seattle, 1993-99) for the
most consecutive playoff appearances by NFL coaches since 1970.
COLTS-STEELERS SERIES NOTES
The clubs are meeting for the first time in regular season play since the
2002 season. Pittsburgh owns a 13-4 regular season series edge, plus a 40 record against the Colts in the playoffs. Pittsburgh took the last meeting
on October 21, 2002, 28-10. Indianapolis fell into a 21-0 first-half hole at
Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football. RB-Jerome Bettis (11-33, 2 TDs)
rushed for 3t and 5t scores, while QB-Tommy Maddox (15-23-188, 2
TDs/1 int.) hit 17t and 14t passes to WR-Hines Ward (5-76, 2 TDs). QBPeyton Manning was 32-48-304, 1 TD/3 ints. He teamed with TE-Marcus
Pollard on a 41t pass for the club’s lone touchdown. K-Mike Vanderjagt
added a 41-yard field goal. RB-Edgerrin James was 20-62 rushing/11-82
receiving, setting a single-game career reception high. WR-Marvin
Harrison was 8-76 receiving. The Colts cut the margin to 21-10 in the
third quarter, but could get no closer. The win gave Pittsburgh triumphs
in the last seven regular-season meetings. Prior to the meeting in 2002,
the Colts fell to the Steelers on October 12, 1997, 24-22 in Three Rivers
Stadium. The Colts last won in the series on October 21, 1984, 17-16 in
the Hoosier Dome. One of the most notable meetings came on January 14,
1996, as Pittsburgh took a 20-16 win over the Colts in the AFC
Championship Game. The outcome was not decided until the final gun as
QB-Jim Harbaugh’s desperation pass from the Steelers’ 29 rolled off the
stomach of WR-Aaron Bailey in the Pittsburgh end zone. Pittsburgh had
scored the go-ahead points with 1:15 remaining as the Colts, under Head
Coach Ted Marchibroda, nearly pulled a memorable upset. Pittsburgh is
making but its third appearance in Indianapolis. After the Colts beat
Pittsburgh in 1984, the club’s inaugural season in Indianapolis, the
Steelers topped the club on October 6, 1991, 21-3.

HEAD COACHES
TONY DUNGY became head coach of the Colts on January 22,
2002. He has directed the Colts to 10-6, 12-4 and 12-4 records, joining
Ted Marchibroda (1975-77) as the only coaches in club history to produce 10+ victories and playoff berths in the first three seasons with the
team. Dungy held a 54-42 record as head coach with Tampa Bay from
1996-2001, qualifying for the playoffs four times in six seasons. Dungy
has directed Indianapolis (2003) and Tampa Bay (1999) to the conference
championship game in earning seven post-season appearances in nine
seasons as a head coach. In 2005, Dungy helped produce the 15th 10+victory season in franchise history, and he is one of five Colts head coaches to earn double-digit victory totals (4, Shula; 3, Dungy; 3, Marchibroda;
2, McCafferty; 2, Jim Mora). Dungy has seven career double-digit victory seasons (11-5, 1999; 10-6, 1997; 10-6, 2000 with Tampa Bay; 12-4,
2003; 12-4, 2004; 10-6, 2002; 10-0, 2005 with Colts) and stands as the
only NFL head coach to defeat all 32 NFL teams. Dungy became the
35th coach in NFL history to earn 100 career victories with a 38-20 win
at Houston on 10/23/05. Dungy produced some of the NFL’s stingiest
defenses during his years at Tampa Bay. His units ranked no lower than
11th during his stay and ranked 6th or higher in four of his last five years.
Dungy also served 1981-88 with Pittsburgh, including 1984-88 as defensive coordinator. After serving 1989-91 as DB Coach at Kansas City,
Dungy was the defensive coordinator at Minnesota from 1992-95.
During his years in Minnesota, the Vikings intercepted an NFL-high 95
passes and made three playoff appearances. The Chiefs made two playoff appearances during Dungy’s tenure. At Pittsburgh in 1984, he became
the NFL’s youngest coordinator (age 25). In five seasons as Pittsburgh’s
coordinator, the Steelers averaged 24 interceptions and 37 takeaways,
while scoring 20 touchdowns. Dungy entered the coaching ranks in 1980
at his alma mater, Minnesota, where he was a quarterback (1973-76). He
made the Steelers as a free agent in 1977 and was a member of the Super
Bowl XIII title team, then was traded to San Francisco in 1979. Dungy
is a native of Jackson, Mich.
BILL COWHER became the 15th head coach in Steelers history on
January 21, 1992. His results include respective records of 11-5, 9-7, 124, 11-5, 10-6, 11-5, 7-9, 6-10, 9-7, 13-3, 10-5-1, 6-10 and 15-1, plus an
appearance in Super Bowl XXX following the 1995 season. Cowher won
AP NFL Coach-of-the-Year honors in 1992 after becoming one of only
12 coaches to win 11 games in an initial season. He began his coaching
career with Cleveland in 1985 as special teams coach. He remained in
that role for two seasons until being named secondary coach of the
Browns. Cowher joined Marty Schottenheimer’s staff with Kansas City
as defensive coordinator in 1989 and remained with the Chiefs until joining Pittsburgh. Cowher was a LB with Philadelphia (1979, 83-84) and
Cleveland (1980-82). He played collegiately at North Carolina State.

sub-75.0+ games were 68.8 vs. St. Louis, 74.3 vs. Houston and 60.0 at
Cincinnati). He has bettered his completion percentage during each season of his career (56.7, 1998; 62.1, 1999; 62.5, 2000; 62.7, 2001; 66.3,
2002; 67.0, 2003; 67.6, 2004; 68.7, 2005), while the four-best NFL seasonal percentages are: 70.55, Ken Anderson, Cincinnati, 1982 (218-309);
70.33, Sammy Baugh, Washington, 1945 (128-182); 70.28, Steve Young,
San Francisco, 1994 (324-461); 70.21, Joe Montana, San Francisco, 1989

career outings with a 70.0+ completion percentage (1, 1998; 3, 1999; 2,

fifth Colts player with 100+ consecutive starts (115, C-Ken Mendenhall;
104, DE-Fred Cook; 102, DB-Jason Belser; 101, OT-Tarik Glenn).
Manning’s start at San Francisco broke Ron Jaworski’s (116) total for the
2nd-longest starting streak by any NFL quarterback. He has thrown touchdown passes in 108 of 122 games and for two or more touchdowns in 71
of 122 games. Manning has 20+ touchdown passes in eight consecutive
seasons, and he has eight of the 18 20+-touchdown seasons in club history. Manning has seven consecutive 3,000+ seasons and owns seven of the
13 3,000+ seasons in Colts history (3, Unitas; 3, Jones). He is the only
NFL QB ever to have seven 3,000+ seasons to open a career. Manning’s
streak of seven consecutive 3,000+ seasons is the 2nd-longest active streak
in the NFL (13, Brett Favre, GB). The other all-time streaks of consecutive 3,000+ seasons between Manning and Favre are: 9, Dan Marino; 7,
John Elway; 7, Drew Bledsoe. He also is the only NFL player to have
4,000+ passing yards in six consecutive seasons, and his six overall 4,000+
seasons tied Marino for the most in NFL history. Manning has completed
more passes and thrown for more yards in a career-opening eight-year span
than any NFL player. Manning (2003, 2004) is a two-time MVP by the
Associated Press, and he is a five-time Pro Bowler (1999-00, 02-04).
Manning has amassed three perfect rating games (10/22/00 vs. New
England; 11/10/02 at Philadelphia; 9/28/03 at New Orleans), the most by
any NFL player since the rating system was created in 1973 (he added a
perfect game in the playoffs 1/4/04 vs. Denver). Manning has authored his
sixth career double-digit victory season in 2005, and he is the club leader
in 10+-victory seasons by a quarterback (3, Unitas; 3, Jones). Manning
has teamed with 23 different players for touchdowns and has tossed scoring passes in 26 of the 28 arenas he has played in during regular season
action (27 of 29 if counting the Meadowlands twice for games against the
Giants and Jets). The only venues where Manning has appeared and did
not toss a scoring pass are the TWA Dome (2001) and Invesco Field (2002,
2004). Manning (49, 2004) is the 3rd NFL QB with a 40+-TD season (48,
Marino, 1984; 44, Marino, 1986; 41, Kurt Warner, St. Louis, 1999).
Manning has six 400+ career games and ranks among the NFL leaders (13,
Marino; 7, Joe Montana; 7, Warren Moon; 6, Dan Fouts; 6, Drew Bledsoe).
Manning had six 4+-TD games in 2004 to tie Marino (1984) for the NFL’s
best seasonal total. Manning’s six 5+-TD games tie Marino’s NFL record
for most in a career. Manning had 100+ rating outings in 11 of 16 games
in 2004 and had nine straight 100+ games, tying the longest NFL seasonal streak since the rating was implemented in 1972. He has had 100+ rating games in 42 of 122 career outings. In 2004, Manning set the club seasonal record for passing yards (4,557) and completion percentage (67.6).
In 2004, he threw more touchdown passes (49) than 26 other NFL teams
scored total touchdowns. Manning was named the NFL Offensive Playerof-the-Year and NFL All-Pro by the Associated Press for his 2004 regular
season performance. Manning was named the Associated Press NFL Most
Valuable Player for his play in 2004. It marked the second consecutive
season he won the award (sharing honors in 2003 with QB-Steve McNair).
Manning joined Brett Favre (1995-97) and Joe Montana (1989-90) as the
only players to win the award in consecutive seasons. Favre’s three nominations are the most in the history of the award, while Manning is tied for
second-most with Montana, John Unitas (1964, 1967), Steve Young (1992,
1994), Kurt Warner (1999, 2001) and Jim Brown (1957, 1965) as multiplewinners. Notable players and Hall-of-Famers who won the award once
include John Elway, Dan Marino, Terry Bradshaw, Fran Tarkenton, Walter
Payton, Marcus Allen and Lawrence Taylor.
WR-Marvin Harrison (903-11,851, 106 TDs career; 58-666, 8 TDs,
2005) is a six-time Pro Bowler (1999-04). His six straight bids rank only
behind John Unitas (8, 1957-64), OG/T-Jim Parker (8, 1958-65) and ties
DE-Gino Marchetti (6, 1959-64) for the longest streaks in Colts history.
Prior to 2004, Harrison was tied with DT-Art Donovan (5, 1953-57), OTChris Hinton (5, 1985-89) and RB-Lenny Moore (5, 1958-62) for the
club’s longer consecutive Pro Bowl streaks. Harrison has bettered the club
career receiving records of WR-Raymond Berry (631-9,275, 68 TDs). In
2004, Harrison produced his 6th 1,000+ reception yardage season, extending his club record for most 1,000+ and most consecutive 1,000+ seasons.
Harrison has 6 of the 12 1,000+ reception yardage seasons achieved in
Colts history. Harrison ranks 6th NFL career receptions, 15th in NFL
career reception yards, 3rd in NFL career touchdown receptions and T2nd
in NFL career 100+-yard games. His six 1,000+ scrimmage yards seasons
tie RB-Lenny Moore and RB-Edgerrin James for the most in Colts history. Six consecutive 1,000+ scrimmage yards seasons (1999-04) are a club
record. He had been tied with Moore (5, 1957-61), Mitchell (5, 1973-77)
and Faulk (5, 1994-98) for the club mark in that category prior to 2004.
Harrison’s 11,879 career scrimmage yards rank 1st in Colts history. In
2004, Harrison produced his club-record 6th consecutive 10+-TD season,
and he is the only NFL player with 10+ touchdown receptions in the last
six consecutive seasons. Harrison (12,056) ranks 2nd in Colts career total
yards (12,449, Moore). Harrison’s 106 touchdowns rank 2nd in club history to Moore (113). Harrison was 9-109, 2 TDs at Tennessee 10/2/05 and
became the 16th NFL player with 100 career touchdowns. He is one of
six players with 100+ career touchdown receptions (197, Jerry Rice; 130,

Houston 11/13 for his top yardage days in 2005. The outing at Houston
marked his 50th career 100+ game, tying WR-Don Maynard for 2nd-most
in NFL history (76, Jerry Rice). Harrison (903 receptions in 149 games)
reached 900 career receptions at Cincinnati 11/20, his 149th game. It
marked the NFL’s fastest pace to that plateau being (168 games, Jerry
Rice). Harrison reached 600 receptions in 102 games, 700 in 114 games
and 800 in 131 games, the fastest paces to those reception totals (Herman
Moore, 600 in 118 games; Rice 700 in 139 games and 800 in 154 games
were the prior records).

receiving at Cincinnati for 107 scrimmage yards at Cincinnati 11/20. He

James’ seven 100+ games in 2005 put him on a pace to challenge the club
seasonal-bests in that category (10, James, 1999; 9, James, 2000; 8,
Dickerson, 1988; 8, James, 2004). James ranks 1st in AFC rushing, 2nd
in NFL rushing and 1st in AFC scrimmage yards, 1st in NFL scrimmage
yards. James has five 1,000+ rushing seasons (1,709, 2000; 1,553, 1999;
1,548, 2004; 1,259, 2003; 1,116, 2005) and has surpassed Faulk for the
most 1,000+ rushing seasons in club history. James has six 1,000+ scrimmage yards seasons (2,303, 2000; 2,139, 1999; 2,031, 2004; 1,551, 2003;
1,343, 2002; 1,341, 2005). The club record for most 1,000+ scrimmage
yards seasons is six by James, Moore and Marvin Harrison and five by
Mitchell and Faulk. James has four 1,500+ scrimmage yards seasons, tied
with Faulk for most in Colts history (4, Faulk). James’ three 2,000+
scrimmage yards seasons are the club record and rank among the NFL
career leaders (4, Walter Payton; 4, Dickerson; 4, Faulk; 3, Priest Holmes;
2; O.J. Simpson; 2, William Andrews; 2, Roger Craig; 2, Thurman
Thomas; 2, Emmitt Smith; 2, Barry Sanders; 2, LaDainian Tomlinson).
James has started all 91 career performances since 1999. James is 1 of 6
Colts players with 40+ career rushing touchdowns (63, Moore; 62, James;
45, Tom Matte; 42, Faulk; 40, Alan Ameche; 40, Don McCauley). James
has 2,415 touches and surpassed Mitchell (1,689) and Faulk (1,686) in
2003 for the most in Colts history. He has 47 career 100+ rushing games,
and his career number of 100+ games did not dip below his sub-100+
rushing games until 53 games into his career, the best opening streak of a
plus ratio by any player in NFL history. James’ career ratio of 100+:sub100+ is 47:44. He is the only Colts player to produce a 200+ rushing
game, and he became the 15th NFL player with 2+ 200-yard career games
with his effort at Chicago 11/21/04. James (47) ranks 3rd among active
NFL players in 100+ games (60, Jerome Bettis; 57, Curtis Martin; 38,
Marshall Faulk; 38, Corey Dillon; 37, Fred Taylor; 31, Priest Holmes).
James was the NFL rushing champion in 1999 and 2000, making him one
of only eleven players to capture consecutive league rushing crowns. He
was only the 13th NFL rookie to win the rushing title. With 1,553 rushing yards and 586 receiving yards in 1999, and 1,709 rushing yards and
594 receiving yards in 2000, James became the only NFL player with consecutive 1,500+ rushing and 500+ receiving yards seasons. With 1,548
yards in 2004, James achieved his 3rd 1,500+ rushing season (1999-00,
04), and it placed him among the NFL career leaders in that category (5,
Barry Sanders, 1991, 94-97; 4, Walter Payton, 1977, 79, 84-85; 4, Eric
Dickerson, 1983-84, 86, 88; 3, Jim Brown, 1958, 63, 65; 3, O.J. Simpson,
1973, 75-76; 3, Emmitt Smith, 1991-92, 95; 3, Terrell Davis, 1996-98),
and James leads active players with 1,500+ rushing seasons (2, LaDainian
Tomlinson, 2002-03; 2, Priest Holmes, 2001-02; 2, Curtis Martin, 2001,
04). James is 1 of 8 Colts players with 50+ career total touchdowns (113,
Moore; 106, Harrison; 73, James; 68, Raymond Berry; 58, McCauley; 57,
Matte; 51, Faulk; 50, Jimmy Orr). James ranks 2nd in Colts career scrimmage yards (11,879, Harrison; 11,563, James) and 3rd in Colts career total
yards (12,449, Moore; 12,056, Harrison; 11,563, James). James needs one
more NFL rushing title to rank among the all-time leaders (8, Jim Brown;
4, Steve Van Buren; 4, O.J. Simpson; 4, Eric Dickerson; 4, Emmitt Smith;
4, Barry Sanders; 3, Earl Campbell). James has five career 300+-touch
seasons (450, 2000; 431, 1999; 385, 2004; 338, 2002; 301, 2003). James
is a three-time Pro Bowl choice (1999, 2000, 2004).
DE-Dwight Freeney, one of 12 Colts with a 3.0+ sack game, had a
club rookie record 13 sacks in 2002, along with nine forced fumbles. He
had 11 sacks in 2003 and had a club-record 16 in 2004 and now has sacks
in 32 of 57 career games and 27 of 46 starts. He was 3-27 sacks and had
two forced fumbles at Miami 11/2/03. He had consecutive three-sack
games vs. Tennessee 12/5/04 and at Houston 12/12/04. He has 11 career
multiple sack games (3, at Miami 11/2/03; 3, vs. Tennessee 12/5/04; 3, at
Houston 12/12/04; 3, vs. Cleveland 9/25/05; 2, vs. Dallas 11/17/02; 2, at
Cleveland 12/15/02; 2, vs. Jacksonville 12/29/02; 2, vs. Carolina 10/12/03;
2, vs. Jacksonville 10/24/03; 2, vs. Minnesota 11/8/04; 2, vs. Baltimore
12/19/04). He has four career three-game sack streaks. Freeney’s fourgame streaks are tied for the 4th-longest (since 1982) in Colts history (8,
DE-Robert Mathis, 2005; 6, DE-Dan Footman, 1997; 5, LB-Duane
Bickett, 1985; 4, DE-Jon Hand, 1991; 4, LB-Tony Bennett, 1995; 4, LBTony Bennett, 1996; 4, DT-Ellis Johnson, 1998; 4, Freeney, 2003; 4,
Freeney, 2004). The Colts are 25-7 when Freeney produces a sack. He
has three career games with multiple forced fumbles (3, at Philadelphia
11/10/02; 2 at Tennessee 12/8/02; 2, at Miami 11/2/03). Freeney has 21
career forced fumbles and the club is 14-3 in games when Freeney forces
a fumble. Freeney has 47 career sacks. He ranked among the NFL’s alltime top totals for players after their first two career seasons (31, Reggie
White; 30, Derrick Thomas; 26, Jevon Kearse; 24, Freeney) and first three
career seasons (52, White; 43.5, Thomas; 37.5 Richard Dent; 36, Kearse;
36, Anthony Smith). Freeney is the only Colts player to produce consecutive 10+ sack seasons (16, 2004; 13, 2002; 11, 2003). There have been
only 11 double-digit sack seasons (since sacks became official in 1982) in
Colts history (16, Freeney, 2004; 13, Freeney, 2002; 12, DE-Chad Bratzke,
1999; 11.5, LB-Johnie Cooks, 1984; 11, Freeney, 2003; 11, LB-Vernon
Maxwell, 1983; 10.5, DE-Tony Bennett, 1995; 10.5, DE-Dan Footman,
1997; 10.5, DE-Robert Mathis, 2004; 10, DE-Jon Hand, 1989; 10, Mathis,
2005). Freeney earned his first Pro Bowl bid in 2003, joining LB-Duane
Bickett (1987) as the club’s only defensive Pro Bowlers in the team’s 22year Indianapolis era. He became the first Pro Bowl defensive lineman for
the team since DT-Mike Barnes and DE-John Dutton in 1977. He earned
a second consecutive Pro Bowl bid in 2004. He is the first Colts defensive
player to have consecutive Pro Bowl bids since Dutton (1976-77).
Freeney (16) ranked 1st in NFL sacks in 2004, and became the first Colts
player to lead the NFL in sacks since the category became official in 1982.
Freeney is 2nd in Colts career sacks (50, LB-Duane Bickett).
In 2003, K-Mike Vanderjagt hit all 37 FG attempts. He hit a 32-yarder
at New England 9/7/04 to move his NFL-record streak of consecutive field
goals to 42, but missed a 48-yard effort in that contest. In producing the
new league mark with 42 consecutive field goals, Vanderjagt vanquished
streaks of 40 by Gary Anderson (San Francisco/Minnesota, 1997-98), 31 by
Fuad Reveiz (Minnesota, 1994-95) and 30 by Jeff Wilkins (St. Louis, 199901). In 2003, Vanderjagt was 37-37 FGs and 46-46 PATs for an AFC-high
157 points (163, Wilkins, St. Louis), and he broke his club seasonal scoring
record (145, 1999). Vanderjagt ranks as the NFL’s most accurate FG kicker (.872, 205-235). He has three career 5-FG games (vs. Denver 1/6/02; vs.
Baltimore 10/13/02; at Tennessee 12/7/03), tying the best single-game total
in club history. With 945 career points, he moved past K-Dean Biasucci
(783) 10/24/04 vs. Jacksonville as the club’s career leading scorer.
Vanderjagt (1998-04) has produced seven consecutive 100+-point seasons
and owns the club record for most 100+ seasons and most consecutive
100+ seasons. In opening his career with seven 100+ seasons, Vanderjagt
ranks behind Jason Elam (12, Denver), Adam Vinatieri (9, New England)
and Ryan Longwell (8, Green Bay) for the most consecutive 100+ seasons
to start a career. Like Vanderjagt, Elam, Vinatieri and Longwell are working on active streaks. In 2003, Vanderjagt produced only the 4th perfect FG
season in NFL history (Tony Zendejas, LA Rams, 17-17, 1991; Jeff
Wilkins, St. Louis, 17-17, 2000; Gary Anderson, Minnesota, 35-35, 1998).
Vanderjagt’s 205 field goals are the most in Colts history.
As a head coach, Dungy is 83-21 when his teams have scored 17+
points, while his record is 72-7 when his teams open a 10+-point lead.
Dungy is 53-0 in games when his team earns a 14+-point lead. In 25 seasons as a head coach or assistant, Dungy’s defenses have scored 69 touchdowns. As a head coach from 1996-04, Dungy’s teams have always
ranked among the least penalized in the NFL (1996: 95 penalties, T9thfewest; 1997: 77, 1st; 1998: 99, 7th; 1999: 75, 2nd; 2000: 82, 3rd; 2001:
77, 6th; 2002: 91, 7th; 2003: 92, T6th; 2004: 106, T10th; 2005, 1st).
Indianapolis is +7 in turnover ratio (19 takeaways:12 giveaways), and the
12 giveaways are T4th-fewest in the NFL. Indianapolis is +14 in penalty ratio (53:67). Indianapolis is +25 in sack ratio (32:7). Indianapolis
ranks 3rd in NFL sacks and 2nd in scoring defense. Through 10 games,
the Colts have trailed in only two games (13:32 vs. Jacksonville; 38:48 vs.
St. Louis) for total of 52 minutes and 20 seconds in 2005. Under Dungy,
the club is +31 in turnover ratio (2002: -5 (32 giveaways:27 takeaways);
2003: +10 (20:30); 2004: +19 (17:36); 2005: +7 (19:12)).
INSIDE THE NUMBERS...NFL RARITY BECOMES NEAR ANNUAL COLTS TRADITION
In a category that has been reached only 24 times in the NFL’s 85 seasons, the Colts continue to be repeat performers. In NFL history, there have
only been 24 seasonal offenses that have produced a 4,000+ passer and 1,000+ rushers and receivers. QB-Peyton Manning, RB-Edgerrin James and
WR-Marvin Harrison accomplished the feat in 1999 and 2000, while the club also did it in 2001 with Manning, Harrison and RB-Dominic Rhodes,
the only undrafted rookie free agent in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards. The club narrowly missed accomplishing the feat in 2002 as Manning
threw for 4,200 yards, while Harrison amassed 1,722 yards, but RB-Edgerrin James tallied 989 rushing yards while missing two games with injuries.
Manning threw for 4,267 yards in 2003, while Harrison totaled 1,272 receiving yards and James notched 1,259 rushing yards. Manning threw for
4,557 yards in 2004, while James produced 1,548 rushing yards and the club had a trio of 1,000+ receivers (1,210, Reggie Wayne; 1,113, Harrison;
1,077, Brandon Stokley) as the club had an unprecedented fifth offense in six years to reach this milestone. The Colts are the only team ever to do it
in consecutive seasons. Here is a look at those prolific offenses:

QB-Peyton Manning has 87 games with 20+ completions, the most in Colts history (John Unitas had 33 in 206 career games).
Manning has 7 consecutive 3,000+ seasons and owns 7 of the 13 3,000+ seasons in Colts history (3, Unitas; 3, Jones). He is the only NFL QB
ever to have 7 3,000+ seasons to open a career. Manning’s streak of 7 consecutive 3,000+ seasons is the 2nd-longest active streak in the NFL
(13, Brett Favre, GB). The other all-time streaks of cons. 3,000+ seasons between Manning and Favre are: 9, Dan Marino; 7, John Elway; 7,
Drew Bledsoe.
Manning has 20+ TD passes in 8 consecutive seasons. Manning owns 8 of 18 20+-TD seasons in club history (6, Unitas; 3, Jones; 1, Earl
Morrall), but only Unitas (1959-60, 65-66) and Jones (1980-81) were able to exceed 20 TDs in consecutive seasons. Manning’s streak of
consecutive 20+-TD seasons is 3rd-best in NFL history (11, Favre; 10, Marino).
Manning (7, 1998-04) has surpassed Marino (5, 1984-88) and Favre (5, 1994-98) to hold the NFL’s longest streak for most consecutive
seasons with 25+ touchdown passes.
Manning is the only NFL QB with 6 consecutive 4,000+ seasons. In 2001, he became only the 3rd QB in NFL history to post 3 consecutive
4,000+ seasons (3, Marino, 1984-86; 3, Fouts, 1979-81). He set the record with his 4th straight in 2002 and has extended it since then.
Manning joins the NFL’s overall leaders in multiple 4,000+ seasons (6, Marino, 1984-86, 88, 92, 94; 6, Manning, 1999-2004; 4, Warren
Moon, 1990-91, 94-95; 3, Fouts, 1979-81; 3, Brett Favre, 1995, 98-99).
Manning has started the first 122 games of his career, the most ever by any NFL QB to start a career, and he broke the club QB starting streak
of John Unitas (92, 1958-65) at Tennessee 12/7/03. The only 100+-game start streaks other than Manning’s by an NFL QB are 214 by Brett
Favre (1992-04, Green Bay), 116 by Ron Jaworski (1977-84, Philadelphia) and 107 by Joe Ferguson (1977-94, Buffalo). Dan Marino (95
games, 1987-93, Miami) has the 5th-longest streak.
Manning (1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005) has 6 double-digit victory seasons, passing Unitas (3) and Jones (3) as the only Colts QBs with
double-digit victory seasons as a starter.
Manning (236) reached 100 career TD passes in 56 games, the 4th-fastest streak in NFL history in terms of games played (44, Dan Marino; 50,
Kurt Warner; 53, John Unitas; 62, Brett Favre). Manning reached 150 career TD passes in 86 games, the 3rd-fastest NFL pace (62, Marino;
84, Favre; 87, Unitas). Manning reached 200 career TD passes in 106 games, the 2nd-fastest NFL pace (89, Marino; 107, Favre; 121, Unitas).
Manning tossed six TD passes at New Orleans 9/28/03 to break the club record for most in a game (5, Gary Cuozzo; 5, Gary Hogeboom; 5,
Manning, six times). He tossed six TD passes at Detroit 11/25/04. Six TD passes is one shy of the NFL record (7, Sid Luckman, Chicago, vs.
NYG 11/14/43; Adrian Burk, Philadelphia, vs. Washington 10/17/54; George Blanda, Houston, vs. NY Titans 11/19/61; Y.A. Tittle, NYG,
vs. Washington 10/28/62; Joe Kapp, Minnesota, vs. Baltimore 9/28/69).
Manning had five TD passes vs. Atlanta 12/14 to become only the 5th (now 6th) NFL QB since 1970 to have multiple 5+-TD games in one
season (6 at New Orleans, 5 vs. Atlanta). Manning joined Dan Fouts (1982), Dan Marino (1986), Warren Moon (1990), Jim Kelly (1991)
and Daunte Culpepper (2004).
Manning is the only NFL QB with four 5+-TD games (including playoffs) in a one-year span (6, 9/28/03 at New Orleans; 5, 12/14/03 vs.
Atlanta; 5, 1/4/04 vs. Denver (playoffs); 5, 9/26/04 vs. Green Bay). He added another 5-TD game at Kansas City 10/31/04. He added another
5-TD game vs. Houston 11/14/04, joining Culpepper as the only NFL QBs with three 5-TD games in one season. He added 6 TDs at Detroit
11/25/04 to surpass Culpepper with four 5+-TD games in one season.
Manning is the only Colts QB with six career regular-season 5+-TD games (6, at New Orleans 9/28/03; 6, at Detroit 11/25/04; 5, vs. Atlanta
12/14/03; 5, vs. Green Bay 9/26/04; 5, at Kansas City 10/31/04; 5, vs. Houston 11/14/04). He has one post-season 5+-TD game (5, vs. Denver
1/4/04). Six 5+-TD games tie the NFL record of Marino (6).
Manning has 236 TD passes in 122 career games, an average of 1.9344 per game, the highest average per game of any QB in NFL history with
150+ TD passes (1.7982, Brett Favre, 392 TDs/218 games; 1.7355, Dan Marino, 420/242; 1.4813, Jim Kelly, 237/160; 1.4219, Joe Montana,
273/192; 1.4033, Dan Fouts, 254/181; 1.3990, Warren Moon, 291/208; 1.3902, Fran Tarkenton, 342/246; 1.3744, John Unitas, 290/211;
1.3728, Steve Young, 232/169).
Manning had 4+ TD passes in five consecutive games (5, at Kansas City 10/31/04; 4 vs. Minnesota 11/8/04; 5, vs. Houston 11/14/04; 4, at
Chicago 11/21/04; 6 at Detroit 11/25/04) to set the NFL record in that category, breaking John Unitas’ prior club mark of two consecutive
games with 4+ TD passes (4, 10/30/60 at Dallas; 4, 11/6/60 vs. Green Bay) and Marino’s four consecutive games (1984).
Manning (13) ranks among the NFL leaders in career games with 4+ touchdown passes (21, Dan Marino; 19*, Brett Favre; 17, John Unitas;
13, George Blanda).

As a head coach, Dungy owns a 72-7 record in games when his team has established a 10+-point lead.
As a head coach, Dungy owns a 53-0 record in games when his team has established a 14+-point lead.
As a head coach, Dungy’s teams have earned a 52-22 record in the second halves of his seasons (1996-05) with Colts and Bucs (5-3, 1996; 5-3,
1997; 4-4, 1998; 7-1, 1999; 6-2, 2000; 5-3, 2001; 6-2, 2002; 5-3, 2003; 7-1, 2004; 2-0, 2005). Since 1999, his record is 38-12.
Dungy stands as the only NFL head coach to defeat all 32 NFL teams. Dungy reached the plateau other coaches are approaching (31, Bill
Parcells – has not defeated Houston; 31, Marty Schottenheimer – Baltimore; 30, Dick Vermeil – Kansas City, Philadelphia; 30, Bill Cowher –
Houston, Pittsburgh; 29, Mike Holmgren – Houston, Colts, Washington).
As a head coach from 1996-04, Dungy’s teams have always ranked among the least penalized in the NFL (1996: 95 penalties, T9th; 1997: 77,
1st; 1998: 99, 7th; 1999: 75, 2nd; 2000: 82, 3rd; 2001: 77, 6th; 2002: 91, 7th; 2003: 92, T6th; 2004: 106, T10th; 2005, 1st).
Indianapolis is the only NFL team to keep its starting quarterback (Peyton Manning), offensive coordinator (Tom Moore) and offensive line
coach (Howard Mudd) intact for the past eight seasons.
Offensive line coach Howard Mudd (San Diego 1974-76; San Francisco 1977; Seattle 1978-82, 93-97; Cleveland 1983-88; Kansas City 198992; Colts 1998-present) is in his 32nd consecutive season as an NFL assistant coach, while offensive coordinator Tom Moore (Pittsburgh 197789; Minnesota 1990-93; Detroit 1994-96; New Orleans 1997; Colts 1998-present) is in his 29th consecutive season in the NFL, the 2nd- and T3rdlongest current streaks among all NFL assistant coaches (34, Dick Hoak, Pittsburgh). Mudd and Moore are two of only nine NFL assistant
coaches with 25+ consecutive years service.
RB Coach Gene Huey has served for 218 games, the 2nd-most games by an assistant position coach in Colts history (223, George Catavolos).
Since 1998, the Colts have played 17 turnover-free games and own a 15-2 mark while averaging 33.2 points in those games (564).
Indianapolis holds a home record of 90-82 from 1984-present. Prior to the start of the 1998 season with the arrival of Bill Polian and Peyton
Manning, the club was 12 games below .500 at home. The club’s worst home winning percentage occurred three times during the 1994 season
when it was 16 games below .500. The club reached 15 games below .500 one time during the 1998 season. The 35-14 win vs. Oakland on
10/10/04 allowed the club to reach .500 for the first time. The Colts reached .500 again with a 31-28 win vs. Minnesota on 11/8/04, and a 49-14
win over Houston on 11/14/04 gave the club its first-ever record over .500. The best the club has been at home is eight games over .500 (9082).
Indianapolis is 1 of 3 NFL teams to make the playoffs in 5 of the last 6 years (5 times: Colts, Philadelphia, St. Louis; 4 times: Tennessee;
Tampa Bay; Green Bay; 3 times: Miami, Oakland, Baltimore, NY Jets, Pittsburgh, Denver, Minnesota, New England; 2 times: NY Giants, San
Francisco, Dallas, Atlanta, Seattle; 1 time: San Diego, Buffalo, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Washington, Kansas
City, Carolina; No times: Houston, Cincinnati, Arizona).
QUARTERBACK PEYTON MANNING
REWRITING THE RECORD BOOKS: Manning was 20-25-314, 6
TDs at New Orleans 9/28/03 to set the club record for most touchdowns,
breaking the record shared by QBs-Gary Cuozzo (11/4/65 at Minnesota) and
Gary Hogeboom (10/4/87 at Buffalo). Six TD passes were one shy of the
NFL record and it marked the first time since 1991 an NFL QB threw for six
in one game (Mark Rypien, Washington). His six TD passes at Detroit
11/25/04 marked his second career 6-TD performance. In each 6-TD game,
Manning had more TDs than incompletions (6 TDs/5 inc.). He was 25-30290, 5 TDs vs. Atlanta 12/14/03 to become the only Colts QB with two
career 5+-TD games in one season. Manning owns club records with 13 4+TD games, six 5+-TD games and six 400+-yard games. His 472 passing
yards at Kansas City 10/31/04 marked a personal and franchise best. In
2004, Manning’s seasonal completion percentage (67.6), touchdowns (49),
passing yardage (4,557) and passer rating (121.1) all marked club records.
MANNING CONTINUES ASSAULT AS PRODUCTIVE PASSER:
Manning has ranked among the NFL leaders in attempts, completions,
yards and TDs since 1998. He leads the NFL with 31,976 passing yards
and 236 TDs from 1998-present. Manning eclipsed the 30,000-yard mark
in his third game of the 2005 season, 9/25 vs. Cleveland. He was the second-fastest to hit the plateau, surpassing the mark in his 115th career
game. The fastest to reach the mark was Dan Marino in 114 games.
Manning also completed his 2,500th pass vs. Cleveland 9/25. Manning
became the second-fastest QB in NFL history to throw 200 TD passes.
He surpassed the mark in his 106th game with 4 TD passes 11/21/04 at
Chicago. Marino owns the fastest streak in 89 games and Manning
eclipsed Favre’s mark (107) by one game.
PEYDIRT: Manning (1998-05) has 20+ TD passes in 8 consecutive
seasons, extending his club record. Manning owns 8 of 18 20+-TD seasons in club history (6, Unitas; 3, Jones; 1, Earl Morrall), but only Unitas
(1959-60, 65-66) and Jones (1980-81) were able to exceed 20 TDs in consecutive seasons. With 20+ TD passes in eight straight seasons, Manning
ranks behind Brett Favre (11, 1994-present) and Dan Marino (10, 198392) for the most consecutive 20+-TD seasons in NFL history. Manning
(1998-04) is the only NFL QB with 25+ touchdowns passes in seven consecutive seasons, surpassing Marino (1984-88) and Favre (1994-98). He
snapped Marino’s NFL mark of 48 single-season TDs with his 48th and
49th TD passes vs. San Diego 12/26/04. Manning owns one of four 40+
seasons in NFL history (48, Marino, 1984; 44, Marino, 1986; 41, Kurt
Warner, 1999). He owns two of the franchise’s three 30+-TD seasons (49,
Manning, 2004; 33, Manning, 2000; 32, John Unitas, 1959).
“STREAKY MANNING”: Manning has had 5 career streaks of consecutive games with TD passes extending into double digits, surpassing
Hall of Fame QB-John Unitas (3) for the club record. He has 14 career
games without a TD pass. His last game without a TD pass came vs.
Cleveland 9/25/05. Manning hit scoring tosses in 27 straight games from
1998-1999. Manning owns 5 of the 9 10+-game streaks in club history (47
games, Unitas (NFL record); 27, Manning; 16, Manning; 13, Manning; 13,
Manning; 12, Unitas; 11, Manning; 10, Unitas; 10, Jim Harbaugh).
Manning produced 13 consecutive 2+-TD games to start 2004, a new NFL
record, but that streak ended 12/19 vs. Baltimore. Manning surpassed John
Unitas’ 1959 club and NFL record for most multiple-TD games to start a
season (1959 was 12-game season). His 13 consecutive multiple-TD
games is the NFL record (12, Unitas, 1959; 12, Don Meredith, Dallas,
1965-66; 12, Marino, 1986-87; 12, Favre, 1994-95). Manning hit his first
five passes at Tennessee 10/2 to tie Bert Jones’ club record (17, vs. NYJ
12/15/74) for consecutive completions with 17 (dating back to Clev. 9/25).
MANNING AND MORE MILESTONES: Manning, a five-time Pro
Bowler (1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004), has produced career totals that
rank among the best in the NFL. He is the only player in NFL history
with 3,000 passing yards in each of his 1st 7 seasons and the only Colts
QB with seven consecutive 3,000+ yards seasons. He owns 7 of the 13
3,000+ passing seasons in Colts history (3, Unitas; 3, Bert Jones).
Manning’s streak of 7 consecutive 3,000+ seasons is the 2nd-longest
active streak in the NFL (13, Brett Favre, GB). The other all-time streaks

Manning’s career are Steve Walsh (21, 1999), Mark Rypien (22, 2001),
Brock Huard (22, 2003) and Jim Sorgi (74, 2004; 12, 2005).
MANNING PRODUCES YARDS: The Colts have had 7 cons. seasons of 5,000+ net yards offense (5,116, 1998; 5,726, 1999; 6,141, 2000;
5,955, 2001; 5,616, 2002; 5,874, 2003; 6,475, 2004). The team had a
club-record 6,475 yards in 2004, snapping the record of 6,141 yards in

MANNING AND HARRISON DUO: In 117 games, WR-Marvin
Harrison has been on the receiving end of 760 passes for 10,076 yards and
90 TDs from QB-Peyton Manning, the most completions, yards and touchdowns by a tandem in NFL history. The duo passed Jim Kelly and Andre
Reed’s mark of 663 passes vs. Minnesota 11/8/04 and Kelly and Reed’s
yardage mark 9/25/05 vs. Cleveland. Manning and Harrison snapped Steve
Young and Jerry Rice’s NFL mark of 85 TDs by a QB-WR tandem 10/17/05
vs. St. Louis. Kelly and Reed played in 147 games together, while Young
and Rice played in 137. The 58 Manning-Harrison scoring plays from
1998-02 marked then the second-highest total of any QB-WR tandem in a
five-year span in NFL history (59, Young-Rice, San Francisco, 1991-95).
Manning and Harrison had 61 TDs from 1999-03 to set the new five-year
record for a tandem, and had 63 TDs from 2000-04 for a new record. The
duo has hooked up eleven times for 50+-yard TDs. Harrison held a 13.1
yds/rec. avg. on 14 TDs (14-183) 1996-97 prior to Manning, but holds 24.0
yds/rec. avg. on 90 TDs (90-2,160) 1998-present with Manning. Harrison
has totaled 48 of his 50 career 100+ games with Manning at QB.
FOURTH-QUARTER HEROICS: Manning has 23 career fourthquarter and overtime game-winning drives, and thirteen of those drives
have ended with less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter or in
overtime. He had a club record 7 in 1999. Manning’s 23 4th-qtr. and
overtime wins rank 2nd in club history (31, John Unitas).

Wash; 11/3/02 vs. Ten.; 9/7/03 at Clev.; 11/2/03 at Mia; 12/7/03 at Ten.;
11/8/04 vs. Minn.). Manning was 25-44-472, 5 TDs/1 int. at Kansas City
10/31/04. The 472 yards was a career best for Manning and marked his
fifth career 400+ passing game (440, vs. Jax. 9/25/00; 412 vs. Buf 9/23/01;
404, at SD 9/26/99; 401, vs. NYJ 11/16/03). He had his sixth 400+ performance with 425 vs. Tennessee 12/5. Manning is the only player in club
history to throw for 400+ yards in multiple games.
MANNING AT 200 TOUCHDOWN PASSES AND 30,000 YARDS

TD passes (89, Marino). Manning became the 88th QB in NFL history to
reach 100 career TD passes 11/11/01 vs. Miami. He reached the milestone
in his 56th career game, the fourth-fastest to reach the plateau in NFL history (44, Marino, 50, Kurt Warner; 53, Unitas; 62, Brett Favre). Manning
reached the 150 touchdown plateau in his 86th game, the 3rd-fastest to that
number (62, Marino; 84, Favre; 87, Unitas). He surpassed the 175 mark in
his 99th career game with a 5-TD performance 9/26/04 vs. Green Bay.
Manning hit 30,000 yards in his 115th game vs. Cleveland 9/25/05,
becoming the second-fastest player to that plateau (114 games, Marino).
Manning became the 96th NFL QB to pass for 15,000 yards at Balt.
12/2/01, his 59th career game. Only Marino (56) reached that mark in
fewer games. Manning hit 20,000 passing yards on 12/15/02 at Cleveland,
his 78th career game, with only Marino (74) surpassing it in fewer games.

2004 FACT SHEET - A LOOK BACK
QB-Peyton Manning and the Colts offense set numerous club and NFL records during the 2004 regular season.
Below is a look back at 2004:
*With 49 TDs, Manning broke Dan Marino’s NFL single-season TD mark of 48 in 1984.
*Manning set the all-time NFL passer rating record at 121.1, besting Steve Young’s 1994 mark of 112.8.
*Manning earned Pro Bowl honors for the fifth time and won Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player honors for the second
consecutive season (sharing honors in 2003 with QB-Steve McNair).
*Manning became the only QB in NFL history to throw for 3,000+ yards in his first seven seasons.
*Manning extended his NFL record streak of consecutive seasons with at least 4,000 yards passing to six (1999-2004) and tied Dan
Marino’s career mark for most career 4,000+ seasons.
*Manning produced 13 consecutive 2+-TD games to start 2004, a new NFL record for consecutive multiple-TD games to start a
season. He snapped John Unitas’ 1959 club and NFL record of 12 games. Manning’s 13 consecutive games with multiple TD passes
also was a new NFL record.
*Manning is the only QB in NFL history with 25+ TD passes in seven consecutive seasons.
*With 5 TD passes vs. Green Bay, Manning became the only QB in NFL history with four 5+-TD games (counting playoffs) in a
one-year span. He had four regular-season 5+-TD games in 2004, also an NFL record.
*Manning tied Dan Marino for most career 5+-TD games with six.
*Manning’s six 4+-TD performances in 2004 tied Dan Marino’s single season mark for most games with 4+ TDs.
*Manning had 4+-TD passes in five consecutive games (5, at Kansas City; 4, vs. Minnesota; 5, vs. Houston; 4, at Chicago; 6, at
Detroit), snapping Marino’s 1984 NFL mark of four consecutive games with 4+-TD passes.
*Manning owns the seven best seasons in passing yardage, attempts and completions in club history.
*Manning’s 472 passing yards at Kansas City 10/31 snapped his own club record.

*The Colts produced the club’s sixth 4,000-yard passing, 1,000-yard rushing and 1,000-yard receiving combination in 2004 and
own six of the 24 in the NFL’s 85 seasons. It marked the fifth time in six years the Colts accomplished such a feat. Peyton Manning

TDs in November, an NFL record for TD passes in one month.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: WR-Marvin Harrison has led the Colts in
receptions and TDs in 8 of his 9 seasons (he did not in 1998 after missing
final 4 games with injury), while he has led the team in receiving yards in
7 of 9 seasons (1998, Faulk; 2004, Wayne). Harrison has totaled the most
receptions by a receiver in NFL history in 1st 4, 7, 8, 9 and 10 seasons, the
2005 season being his 10th. Harrison held the record for receptions after 5
and 6 seasons until it was broken by Randy Moss in 2002 (414) and 2003
(525). Harrison became the 5th player in NFL history with 100+-TD receptions 10/2/05 at Tennessee. On 11/17/02 vs. Dallas, Harrison became the
28th NFL player to surpass 600 career receptions, reaching it in 102 games,
the fastest pace in NFL history (118, WR-Herman Moore, Det.). He hit 700
careeer receptions vs. Carolina 10/12/03 in his 114th game, the fastest pace
to that plateau (139 games, Jerry Rice). On 11/8/04, he became the 11th
NFL player to hit 800 career receptions, reaching it in 131 career games, the
fastest pace in NFL history (154, WR-Jerry Rice, S.F.). In that game, he
and QB-Peyton Manning also became the NFL’s leading tandem with 666
completions, surpassing the old mark of 663 by Jim Kelly and Andre Reed.
Harrison hit the 900-reception mark in his 149th game at Cincinnati
11/20/05, reaching it faster than Rice’s previous record of 168 games.

Harrison was 9-101 vs. Houston 12/1/02 to tie Berry’s (631) club reception record and he broke the mark at Tennessee 12/8/02 with 9-76. Both
marks by Berry stood since 1967. He became the Colts career reception
yards leader vs. Carolina 10/12/03, breaking Berry’s (9,275) club record.
Harrison now has produced 6 of the 12 1,000+ reception yardage seasons
in Colts history. Harrison is averaging 6.1 receptions per game for his
career, among the best marks in NFL history. From 1998-2002, he and
Manning teamed on 58 scoring plays, then the 2nd-highest touchdown total
of any QB-WR tandem in a 5-year span in NFL history (59, Steve YoungJerry Rice, SF, 1991-95). Manning and Harrison had 61 TDs from 199903 to set the new five-year record for a tandem, and they had 63 from 200004 to set a new 5-season high. Harrison had 6 double-digit reception games
in 2002 and 10 100+ games, breaking his own mark of nine set in 1999.
The NFL record for most seasonal 100+ games is by WR-Michael Irvin (11,
Dallas, 1995). Harrison has 5 career 4-game 100+ streaks and 3 career 3game 100+ streaks. The club record for most consecutive 100+ games is 6
by Berry in 1960.
Harrison (143) bested the NFL seasonal record of 123 receptions by
Moore (1995) with 9-172, 2 TDs at Cleveland 12/15/02. Harrison was
named AFC Offensive Player-of-the-Month for November (2002) with 42481, 5 TDs receiving.
He has registered 10 50+ reception seasons, 1st in club history (7, Berry,
1958-62, 65-66). Harrison has 15 50+-yard TD passes, ranking second in
franchise history (18, Lenny Moore). Eleven of those 50+-yard TD receptions have come from Manning. In 2004, he matched his 2001 club-record
total of 15 TD receptions. At Baltimore 9/11/05, he was 6-69, 1 TD and
surpassed Moore (11,213) for the most scrimamge yards in club history.
HARRISON KEEPS UNIQUE COMPANY: From 1999-2003,
Harrison produced the top 5 seasonal receiving and yardage totals in club
history. In 2000, Harrison recorded his 2nd cons. season with 100+ receptions, 1 of only 5 players in NFL history (now 6) to post 100+ receptions in
cons. seasons. He narrowed that company in 2001 by joining Jerry Rice
and WR-Herman Moore as the only NFL players with 3 cons. 100+ seasons. He is now the only player in NFL history to post 100+ receptions in
4 cons. seasons. Harrison is the only player in Colts history with multiple

OTHER DEFENSIVE NOTES
A CLUB RECORD: The Colts surrendered a total of 16 points in the
first three games of 2005, the fewest points allowed by a Colts team in the
first three games of a season in club history. With just six points allowed
vs. Cleveland 9/25, it marked the first time in club history the Colts
allowed single digits in each of the first three games to start a season. The
Colts were unable to extend that streak to four games, allowing 10 points
at Tennessee 10/2.
DEFENSIVE LINE-DE-Robert Mathis had 10.5 sacks in 2004,
ranking T3rd in the AFC and T13th in the NFL. Mathis had three sacks
vs. Houston 11/14, marking then just the 16th time in Colts history a player has had three sacks in a game (dating back to when sacks became official in 1982). He became then the 11th player to produce 3+ sacks in a
game. Mathis also had three fumbles forced vs. Houston, the first time a
Colts player has had three fumbles forced since Dwight Freeney vs.
Philadelphia 11/10/02. Mathis had one sack at Chicago 11/21 and 0.5 sack
at Detroit 11/25, marking the second time in 2004 he recorded a sack in
three consecutive games. He became the 10th Colts player to record a
10+-sack season since 1982 with a sack at Houston 12/12. He also had six
FF and three FR on the season.
Mathis is the NFL leader with 10 sacks in 2005, and he has recorded a
sack in nine of 10 games. Mathis recorded the 11th double-digit sack season in club history with his 10th seasonal sack at Cincinnati 11/20, and he
and Freeney are the only players to record back-to-back double-digit sack
seasons in franchise history.
Mathis extended his streak of consecutive games with a sack to seven at
Houston 11/23/05, surpassing DE-Dan Footman’s club record of six.
Mathis had a sack and FF at New England 11/23, extending his club record
of consecutive-sack games to eight, tied for third-best in NFL history. His
streak ended 11/13 vs. Houston. Mathis began the season with a sack and
FF at Baltimore 9/11. He had one sack and one FF vs. Jacksonville 9/18.
Mathis had one sack vs. Cleveland 9/25, his third career streak of at least
one sack in three consecutive games. With one sack at Tennessee 10/2, he
extended his sack streak to a career-best four games, tied for 3rd-longest in
club history. Mathis had two sacks and one FF at San Francisco 10/9, tying
the 2nd-longest streak in club history with a sack in five consecutive games.
He had another sack and FF vs. St. Louis 10/17 and one sack and one FF at
Houston 10/23 to surpass Footman’s record. He has four multi-sack games
in his career (3, vs. Houston 11/14/04; 2, vs. Tennessee 9/14/03; 2, vs.
Oakland 10/10/04; 2, at San Francisco 10/9).
DT-Larry Tripplett had two sacks in the 2005 season opener at
Baltimore 9/11, besting his previous career total (1.0).
DT-Montae Reagor had his first career 3+-sack game vs. Jacksonville
9/18/05 and became the 12th player in Colts history to record a 3+-sack
game. Reagor had a 37t FR at Houston 10/23 for his first career TD.
Reagor had a career-high five sacks in 2004, and has 4.5 already in 2005.
DEFENSIVE BACKS-Bob Sanders, a D2-04 choice of Iowa, provided the Colts with a physical presence in the defensive backfield during
the 2004 season. Despite missing 10 games due to injury, Sanders still
managed 39 tackles, 26 solo, two fumbles recovered and one pass
defensed, along with 10 special teams tackles, six solo. Sanders had 13
tackles, seven solo, and a 37t FR vs. Houston 11/14 and 10 stops, nine
solo, and one FR at Kansas City. In two post-season games, Sanders had
17 stops, eleven solo. Sanders recorded his first career interception at
Tennessee 10/2/05.
LINEBACKERS-Gary Brackett and Cato June accounted for 22
tackles and three interceptions in the season opener at Baltimore 9/11.
Brackett had nine stops and two ints., matching his 2004 total, earning him
AFC Defensive Player-of-the-Week honors. June had a team-high 13
tackles. His 30t interception in the fourth quarter was his first career TD.
June had two interceptions at San Francisco 10/9, including a 24t, his first
career multiple-interception game. June became the only LB in club history with two scoring interceptions in one season. He had two interceptions for a second consecutive week vs. St. Louis 10/17, and he became
the first Colts player since LB-Stan White in 1977 to record multiple interceptions in consecutive games.
OFFENSIVE LINE
DURABILITY: LT-Tarik Glenn had started 101 consecutive games
to open his career, but the streak ended 10/12/03 vs. Carolina due to a
knee injury. Glenn had started every game at LT from 1998-2003 and had
not missed a snap until the Carolina game. His 101 consecutive starts
and games played led the team. Glenn opened in 1997, becoming the
club's first rookie OL starter (along with Adam Meadows) since 1984. CJeff Saturday played in 85 consecutive games and started 75 consecutively, but those streaks ended 12/5/04 vs. Tennessee due to a calf injury.
RT-Ryan Diem is starting for the fourth consecutive season.
The continuity and ability of the line play has allowed the offense to
accomplish the following: allowed the quarterback to be sacked only 127
times in the last 106 games (overall, the lowest in the NFL); paved the
way for RB-Edgerrin James to win 2 consecutive NFL rushing titles and
produce 47 100+ rushing games; helped FA RB-Dominic Rhodes (2331,104, 9 TDs rushing/34-224 receiving, 1,328 scrimmage yards, 2001)
produce the best season ever by an undrafted free agent RB in NFL history; aided WR-Marvin Harrison (115-1,663, 1999; 102-1,413, 2000; 1091,524, 2001; 143-1,722, 2002; 94-1,272, 2003) produce the 5 finest reception and yardage seasons in club history, while allowing him to become
the only NFL player with 4 consecutive 100+ reception seasons. The
Colts produced 10 individual 100+ rushing performances in 2001 (5,
James; 5, Rhodes), the most by any NFL team. The 10 individual 100+
games tied the club-record seasonal best of 10 in 1999, while the club did
it 9 times in 2000. Thus, since 1999, the club's offensive line has helped

Manning produce the 7 highest seasonal yardage passing totals in franchise history (4,557, 2004; 4,413, 2000; 4,135, 1999; 4,131, 2001; 3,739,
1998; 4,200, 2002; 4,267, 2003), while becoming the only QB in NFL history to post 6 consecutive 4,000+ seasons. It helped James win two rushing titles (1,553; 1999; 1,709, 2000) and Rhodes (1,104) to become the
most productive NFL rookie undrafted FA. The 2001 season marked the
5th straight season the club had a 1,000+ rusher, while the team has had
53 100+ individual rushing performances in the past 104 games.
The offensive line play has helped the club have seven consecutive seasons with 5,000+ net yards offense (5,116, 1998; 5,726, 1999; 6,141,
2000; 5,955, 2001, 5,616, 2002; 5,874, 2003; 6,475, 2004). The Colts
produced a club-record 6,475 yards in 2004, bettering the previous record
of 6,141 net yards in 2000.
The six-best ratios of sacks per pass plays in the club's 52-year history
have been accomplished since 1998: 1 sack for 40.0 pass plays in 1999
(560 pass plays, 14 sacks), 1 for 38.6 in 2004 (541 pass plays, 14 sacks),
1 for 30.9 in 2003, 1 for 29.6 in 2000 (591, 20), 1 for 26.7 in 2002 (614,
23) and 1 for 27.2 in 1998 (598, 22). The club allowed 1 for 19.6 in 2001
(587, 30). Prior to 1998, the best ratios in Colts history were 1 for 23.6
in 1969 (448, 19) and 1 for 21.5 in 1993 (623, 29). The club’s ratio in
2005 is 1 for 46.1 pass plays (323 pass plays, 6 sacks).
