Indianapolis Colts’ QB Peyton Manning threw 3 touchdowns and passed for 288 yards to have the Colts cruise to a 41-10 victory over the New Orleans Saints at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana. Supporting the Colts’ offense was running back Joseph Addai who rushed for 118 yards and added a touchdown as well as wide receiver Reggie Wayne who caught 2 TDs from Peyton Manning.

The Colts were the first on the scoreboard with Peyon Manning gunning a 27 yard pass to Marvin Harrison for a first quarter TD. The Saints managed to tie the game when defensive back Jason David picked up a fumble and ran it 55 yards for a touchdown. The Saints then went ahead with a field goal, but the Colts managed a field goal of their own in the last minute of the second quarter to tie the game at 10-10 at the end of the first half.

However, at the 2nd half, it was all Indianapolis. Colts running back Joseph Addai capped a 71-yard drive with a 2-yard rush touchdown. In their next drive, the Indianapolis Colts only needed 4 plays to move 69 yeards up the field, capping it off with a 28-yard reception by wide receiver Reggie Wayne from quarterback Peyton Manning.
