The Record Breaking Colts continues match to Perfection

The Colts continues their match to perfection and most importantly, breaking the longest winning streak in the regular season when Peyton Manning finished off their 28-16 win over Denver to give Indy a couple of records: Sunday’s victory was their 22nd straight in the regular season and 114th this decade.

The Indianapolis Colts passed two dynasties with one win.
The New England Patriots, winners of three Super Bowls since 2001, won their 21st in a row just last year, while the San Francisco 49ers had 113 wins in the 1990s, when they won the most recent of their five Super Bowl titles.

Tight end Dallas Clark caught three of Manning’s four TD passes, breaking his own single-season franchise marks for receptions (82) and yards (902) by a tight end, and Manning passed Warren Moon for fourth on the league list for yards passing with 49,533.

All season long, there have been hot debates amongst sports fans on who is the best team in the NFL? This debate continues right now as am writing this article in the A-List content meetings.

Is amazing that a team continues to put up impressive victories with new Coaching staff, new Receivers (including rookies), and a lot of injuries on defense.
Everyone has their right to their opinion, but if you know Football, you’ll realize – there’s no team right now in the NFL doing what the Indianapolis Colts are doing, and, that’s winning every game with any piece they can find in that locker room. They have won games throwing the ball, running the ball and on special teams. On Sunday, Manning threw 3 interceptions and yet the defense found a way to keep the Colts in the game.

Is going to be another battle to decide who should be number one on the NFL Power Rankings week 15 (A-List Edition), as the Saints pulled out another close win in Atlanta to remain 13-0. Keep in mind, this was a very short handed Atlanta Falcons team playing without their quarterback (Matt Ryan) and superstar running back (Michael Turner) and other major injuries.

I understand it was a division game, and both teams know each others game, blah, blah.
Then, what should be the excuse for last weeks very close (almost a loss) game to the Redskins?
The fact remains, the Saints are a very good team, but they are not as good or even close to the Colts.

Brandon Marshal The Record Breaking Colts continues match to PerfectionWith all the impressive record breaking performance by the Colts, Denver Bronco’s Receiver Brandon Marshall record breaking day had to take the back seat.
Brandon Marshall had a league-record 21 receptions for 200 yards, and two TDs and accounted for nearly three-fourths of Kyle Orton’s 277 yards passing.
