Denver's Peyton Manning made his first return to Indianapolis for a game last night since signing
with the Broncos, but it was his counterpart Andrew Luck and the Colts, who came out
victorious 39-33. Denver suffered its first loss at 6-1, while the Colts improved to 5-2.
Manning completed 29-of-49 passes for 386 yards with three touchdowns, while Andrew Luck passed
for 228 yards and also hit on three TD's.Luck ran the ball effectively, gaining 30 yards on three rushes.
The New York Jets slipped past the New England Patriots 30-27 in overtime with Nick Folk
booting a 42-yard field goal with 5:12 left in OT. Folk had missed a 56-yard field goal attempt
on the previous play, but the Patriots were flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, giving Folk another chance and he came through.
New York is 4-3, while the Patriots stand at 5-2. The Jets' victory spoiled the return of Patriots' tight end Ron Grondkowski, who finished with 8 catches for 114 yards as Tom Brady targeted him in his return. Brady finished 22-of-46 for 228 yards, but without a TD pass, the second time that has happened this season.
Former LSU running back Stevan Ridley rushed the ball 11 times for 50 yards and scored a touchdown.
St. Louis Rams' signal caller Sam Bradford suffered a torn ACL in yesterday's 30-15 loss to the Carolina Panthers and will miss the remainder of the season. The Rams will be trying out quarterbacks today to address the loss of Bradford. Kellen Clemons filled in for the injured Bradford.
In Monday Night Football, the win less New York Giants and Eli Manning hope to grab that
surprising elusive initial victory going against the Minnesota Vikings and last year's MVP Adrian
Peterson. Viking head coach Leslie Frazier has tabbed former Tampa Bay starter, Josh Freeman,
as the team's starting quarterback. Freeman takes over for Matt Cassell, who started the last two games for the Vikes after Christian Ponder was injured.
