Statement Game

The Colts entered Sunday's game at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers without six of their startes. Marvin Harrison. Joshep Addai, and Bob Sanders the most notable. However the Colts continued with thier "next man up" mentality and did not stumble without their key players. Rookies Athonaly Gonzalez and Kenton Keith (4 year CFL player) proved their worth and that they are going to be successful in this league on Sunday. Both had break out games, Gonzalez with seven catches and Keith rushed for 121 yards two touchdowns. The defense played another great game. They allowed their speed to shut down Tampa's running attack allowing only 17 total rushing yards. Jeff Garcia completed a lot of passes but all were short gaines and the Buc's recievers rarley got behind the colts definse. All in all it was a total team effort and a gratifing one. The colts will have their bye week next week which will give them a chance to get healthy.

A Perfect September

The Colts defeated the Denver Broncos 38-20 to finish 4-0 in the month of September. The Colts continued to roll with a dominating offensive performance that showed how effective they can be with a blananced running attack while gaining yards through the air. The Defensive made plays when they had to. None bigger than Marlin Jackson's interception in the third quater wich set up the Colts' second touchdown in three minutes. The victory did come at a cost though, Marvin Harrison, Joseph Addia, Bob Sanders, and Rob Morris all went down with injuries. Rob Morris is probably done for the season while the others should be ready to go next week vs. Tampa Bay.

3-0

Again the Indianapolis Colts went on the road and defeated a much improved Houston Texans team. With a new quaterback, Matt Shaub, a second year head coach and an improving defense the Texans are becoming a tough team to beat. The game opened up with the opening kickoff being returned for a tochdown for the Texans. Not a great start for the Colts. However, they got it in gear with a sound offensive performance lead by Peyton Manning. The Defense played strong and made stops when they needed too. The final score was 30-24. The Colts are now 3-o with two divisonal road victories. (the Colts lost all 3 divisional road games last year)

Colts Win Again

The Indianapolis Colts won again this week, however this game was a lot closer of a game than the previous week. The Tennessee Titans are quickly becomeing a formidable oponet in the AFC South and look to give the Colts a challenge in the divisonal race. With Vince Young at quarterback the Titans will be in contention in every game they play, not to mention haveing a vertern coach in Jeff Fisher. The score of this game was 22-20. Peyton Manning played well, but threw his first interception of the season along with a touchdown pass. Again the defensive played fast and held off the Titans as they tried to win the game in the 4th quarter. It was a great win and puts the Colts in the driver's seat in the AFC South. The colts will have another tough divisional road game next week in Houston.

Colts win week one

The Indianapolis Colts humiliated the New Orleans Saints in the opening game of the 2007 NFL season. The score, 41-10, tells a story of complete domination of one team over the other. This game puts the Colts in the talks of the early favorites to reach the playoffs and possible Super Bowl conteders. Proir to the game the talk was how would the Colts defensive hold up against the NFL's number one offense in 2006. New Orleans scored only three offensive points off of a field goal. Their only touchdown came from a fumble recovery from Jason David, a former Colts player. Peyton Manning threw for three touchdowns and Joseph Addai ran for one. Another important note from this game was that the city of Indianapolis held multiple events to welcome the start of the NFL season that included concerts. The celebration was capped off by the unveiling the the NFL Championship Banner hung from the rafters at the RCA Dome.
