From Indy to Cincy and Back.


Going into tonight's MNF the Bengals had the league's worst pass defense. I didn't know that, but the Cincinnatti Enquirer did. The Bengals "lived down" to their expectations against the Colts.
The Colts would move down the field twice, primarily on the pass, to take a 17-10 lead into the half.
Manning, who was 18-for-20 passing for 148 yards, threw his first of two first-half touchdowns from five yards to Harrison. One of Manning’s two incomplete passes was intentionally thrown away.
To the Indianapolis Star, it was just another day at the office for the Colts

It was Harrison’s first game of the season with three touchdown receptions and the ninth of his career. Manning added a touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne, the second time this season he’s thrown for four scores and the 15th time of his career.
Manning and Harrison extended their NFL record for touchdown passes between a quarterback and receiver to 103.
Manning completed 29-of-36 passes for 282 yards. Harrison had eight catches for 86 yards.
The Colts remained the masters of prime time, winning for the 10th consecutive time in that setting.
