Denver Bronco quarterback Peyton Manning, who leads the NFL in passing yardage with 2,179
yards and 22 touchdowns, makes his first return to Indianapolis since being traded to the Broncos.
Manning is having a spectacular season, completing 74.5 percent of his passes, averaging 363 yards per game with just two interceptions in 240 pass attempts.
Manning will do battle with second-year QB Andrew Luck, the future of the Colts, in a Sunday night encounter. Denver linebacker Von Miller returns to the Broncos' lineup after serving his suspension, which should help bolster their defense, hoping to shut down Luck and the Colts' passing game.
The Broncos are one of two unbeaten NFL teams, joining the Kansas City Chiefs with that distinction at 6-0.
Saints' QB Drew Brees, who has helped lead the Black & Gold to a 5-1 record, is second in
passing yardage behind Manning with 1,958 yards.
Brees has thrown 14 TD passes with five picks, while connecting on 66.2 percent of his
attempts. Brees is averaging 326 yards per contest.
The Saints are on their bye week and return to action Sunday Oct. 27, hosting the Buffalo Bills.
