Indianapolis 28 at Cleveland 23 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Indianapolis Colts: Manning has taken control of the offense, and his mastery of it shows. Manning called audibles on four plays that all turned into touchdowns. Twice, the Colts quarterback checked off to plays featuring Harrison that went for scores. After being held to just 3 receptions in the first half, Harrison finished with nine catches for 172 yards and set the all time league record for receptions in a season and still has 2 more games to add to his new record. Edgerrin James spent most of the second half on the Colts' bench. A team spokesman refused to say whether the running back was hurt, but the announcers speculated that it was a concussion. James Mungro shined in his absence, but did have two fumbles. Cleveland Browns: Quincy Morgan caught a 78-yard TD on the first play of Sunday's contest, but did not catch another pass until late in the fourth quarter. William Green has a clear lock on the starting running back job, but Jamel White was a key contributor on passing downs. Jamel finished with 6 receptions for 73 yards and converted a lot of third downs for the Browns. WHAT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW Indianapolis Colts QB: Payton Manning - 20 of 34 for 277 yards with 2 TDs and an INT. 6 Carries for 24 yards. Struggled to get going in the first half, but came out of the half running a "No Huddle" offense, and took control of the game, zoning in on Harrison. Manning became the second fastest player behind Marino to go over 20,000 career yards. RB: Edgerrin James - 10 Carries for 42 yards. 3 Receptions for 20 yards. Edgerrin James took a big hit and went to the sideline with his helmet off. CBS Sports announcers speculated that he had a concussion. RB James Mungro replaced him. James Mungro - 14 carries for 75 yards and 2 TDs. 2 receptions for 8 yards. Fumbled twice. Ran explosively up the middle in traffic. Mungro took himself out of the game after taking a big hit and RB Ricky Williams replaced him. Mungro was back in almost immediately as Williams limped off the field. Ricky Williams - 3 Carries for 2 yards. Came in after Mungro came out injured, ran his 3 plays (Losing yards on two of them), and then hobbled off the field, never to return. WR: Marvin Harrison - 9 receptions for 172 yards with 2 TDs. The focal point of the Colt's attack in the second half, as Manning called his number time and time again while running a "No Huddle" Offense. Set a new Receptions record for a single season. Harrison became the first player to have more than 1,500 yards in consecutive seasons. Quadry Ismal - 3 Receptions for 14 yards. As the Offense got going in the second half, the entire focus was on Harrison, as Ismail was ignored. TE: Marcus Pollard - 2 Receptions for 41 yards. Made 2 Key receptions, but was a situational player, and not the focus at any point. Joe Dean Davenport - 1 Reception for 22 yards. Looked to a few times in the first half, but hardly on the field in the second half as the offense got going. Colts Pass Defense - MLB Rob Morris, Dwight Freeney, and Chad Bratzke each sacked Tim Couch. Both Browns' TDs in the first half were "Jump Ball" passes that the Colt's lost out on defending. Came up big on the last Browns' drive of the game, assuring the Victory. On third down, Colts linebacker Josh Williams batted down Couch's pass at the goal line, and Couch's last shot was thrown slightly behind Davis in the back of the end zone. Colts Rush Defense - Solid game against a solid, but unspectacular, William Green. Colts Special Teams - K: Mike Vanderjagt - 4 for 4 on XPs. /**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/** Cleveland Browns QB: Tim Couch - 21 of 35 for 287 yards with 2 TDs. 4 Carries for -1 yards. Fumbled twice. 78 Yard TD to Morgan on the first play of the game. Couch seemed to own the game during the first half, scoring at will, and driving the ball with ease. Unfortunately for the Brown's, the Colts came alive in the second half. Out of timeouts, quarterback Couch moved Cleveland to the Colts' 10 with 1:23 left, but the Browns couldn't score the go-ahead TD as Couch's fourth-down pass from the 5-yard line went off Andre Davis' hands. RB: William Green - 22 Carries for 69 yards with a TD. 3 Receptions for 24 yards. Solid but unspectacular running. Moved the chains. Jamel White - 3 Carries for 19 yards. 6 Receptions for 73 yards. Very effective in 3rd down conversions. A large part of the Brown's air attack. Not really given the ball in running situations. Picked up 8 yards on a 3rd down draw play in the final drive to give the Browns a chance to win the game. WR: Quincy Morgan - 3 Receptions for 90 yards with a TD. 78 yard TD from Couch on the first play of the game. After scoring a 78 yarder on the first play from scrimmage, disappeared from the game. Did not catch another pass until deep into the 4th quarter. Andre Davis - 1 Reception for 2 yards. The go ahead 4th down pass that would have been a TD, was thrown behind him, and went through Davis' hands. Kevin Johnson - 5 Receptions for 70 yards. Couch's first read on most passing plays. TE: Mark Campbell - 2 Receptions for 15 yards. Dump off receiver, not a factor. Brown's Pass Defense: DT Gerard Warren sacked Manning. OLB Darren Hambrick Intercepted Manning. Held Harrison to just 3 receptions in the first half, but then got destroyed by the Colt's No Huddle in the second half. Brown's Rush Defense: Held the Colt's running game in check in the first half, not allowing James any running room. Was ineffective in the second half, as the Colt's Air attack was successful, and Mungro began to run without resistance up the center of the Brown's defensive front. Brown's Special Teams - K: Phil Dawson - 29 yards FG, and 2/2 Xps. Missed the extra point on the First TD of the game, but it was ruled a non attempt, and does not count against Dawson.
