Indianapolis
Colts

But the simple fact remains that Jim Caldwell's team is 10-0 for the season and is one of the NFL's two undefeated teams.

The Colts, almost to a man, refuse to buy into the notion that they haven't earned each and every one of the last four victories. Especially Sunday's road win over the Ravens.

"Every game ain't going to be a thousand yards," wide receiver Reggie Wayne said. "Every game ain't going to be a thousand points. It's football. Those guys (Baltimore) are on scholarship, too. They're trying to stay in playoff contention, so you know they're going to play (hard).

Despite the fact that the offense has only produced one game with 30 or more points over the past four weeks, there has been no concern along the Indianapolis sideline or on the practice field.

"Not a lot of panic. And no finger pointing. We don't point the finger at the defense if they're giving up touchdowns. They don't point the finger at us if we're turning the ball over," quarterback Peyton Manning said. "That's team football. Good teams are the ones that aren't divided. We've truly won 10 games as a team."

Wayne agrees.

"All we can do is correct our mistakes, play Colts football and keep rollin' W's" he said.

--"I am emotionally exhausted. I'm toast. I may not show it, but I'm toast. That's hard, especially against friends and a team you love so much. I don't mind saying it: I love the Ravens. Hey, what was I doing when the Colts hadn't signed me yet? I was coming to Ravens games." -- Colts PK Matt Stover, on kicking against the Ravens. He played 13 seasons with Baltimore before being released in the offseason. He still lives in Baltimore.

--"We're like machines. They program us to keep pushing, don't fall. Keep chugging away, chugging away. There is no time to point fingers or put your head down. Just keep going, keep going and find a way to get it done." -- Colts WR Reggie Wayne, on the team's philosophy of "next man up" when players are injured, others step in and play without missing a beat.

--WR Reggie Wayne and TE Dallas Clark have set an NFL record for the most combined catches for teammates through the first 10 games of a regular season. Wayne, with 76 receptions, and Clark, who has hauled in 65 passes, have combined for 141. The previous record of 136 was shared by WR Johnny Morris (77) and TE Mike Ditka (59) of the 1964 Chicago Bears, and WRs Herman Moore (73) and Brett Perriman (63) of the 1995 Detroit Lions.

Interestingly, Colts offensive coordinator Tom Moore has worked with both Wayne/Clark along with Moore/Perriman. Moore was the offensive coordinator for the Lions.

--Clark may have set the Colts' franchise record for the most career receptions by a tight end (he is now one ahead of former Baltimore Colts TE John Mackey with 321 career receptions), but the news of his record-breaking catch was not announced in the Ravens' press box.

--TE Tom Santi played well in his first work of the 2008 season, hauling in a career-best six passes for 80 yards in the win over Baltimore. But he also had a few mishaps along the way, including losing a fumble near the Baltimore goal line after being sandwiched by Baltimore LB Ray Lewis and S Ed Reed.

Santi also failed to come up with a pass near the Baltimore goal line later in the game and was called for an illegal-procedure penalty on the Colts' final offensive possession of the game. "That's just unacceptable," the former University of Virginia tight end said.

--QB Peyton Manning has thrown four interceptions over his last two games, a pair of interceptions in each game. He didn't offer any excuses for the errors. "Bad decisions," Manning said.

--LS Justin Snow has a 154-game streak of consecutive appearances with the Colts. Snow's string of consecutive appearances is fourth-longest in club history, trailing quarterback Peyton Manning (186), P Hunter Smith (155) and DB Jerry Logan (155).

--DE Keyunta Dawson suffered a right knee strain while covering a kickoff. He did not return. Dawson's status for the Houston game probably won't be updated until Wednesday at the earliest.

REPORT CARD VS. RAVENS

PASSING OFFENSE: B -- QB Peyton Manning didn't have one of his great games, but it wasn't terrible either. Manning completed 22 of 31 passes for 299 yards and one touchdown. He threw two interceptions. That's the bad news. But he wasn't sacked, and he was only hurried one time. Manning completed passes to six different receivers. WR Reggie Wayne hauled in seven passes for 89 yards, while WR Pierre Garcon added six catches for 108 yards. TE Tom Santi had six catches for an additional 80 yards.

RUSHING OFFENSE: B-plus -- RB Joseph Addai ran for a season-high 74 yards on 19 carries, including a season-long 21-yard run. As a team, the Colts had 76 yards on 25 rushing attempts. Admittedly, the numbers aren't great, but they were certainly good enough to move the football when it was needed the most. Addai had a 5-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, faking Ravens LB Ray Lewis out of his socks near the goal line.

PASS DEFENSE: B -- Baltimore QB Joe Flacco connected on 23 of 35 passes for 256 yards. WR Derrick Mason had nine catches for 142 yards. RB Ray Rice added seven receptions for 64 yards. The Colts did not record a sack for the first time this season and didn't have any quarterback pressures. Indianapolis did come up with a big game-saving interception late in the fourth quarter by LB Gary Brackett. The Colts also broke up eight passes in the game, including an end-zone deflection by S Melvin Bullitt.

RUSH DEFENSE: B-plus -- Rice had 71 yards rushing on 20 carries. RB Willis McGahee added 25 yards on six carries. The Ravens had 98 yards rushing as a team on 31 total running attempts. Indianapolis came up with a big goal-line stand early in the fourth quarter, shutting down the Baltimore running game and forcing the Ravens to settle for a field goal.

SPECIAL TEAMS: B-plus -- Pat McAfee averaged 40 yards, 36 yards net, on three punts. He also had one punt downed inside the Ravens' 20-yard line. McAfee had one touchback on kickoffs. PK Matt Stover connected on what proved to be a game-winning 25-yard field goal with 7:02 remaining in the game. KR Chad Simpson averaged 20.5 yards on four kickoff returns, including a 34-yard return in the fourth quarter that helped set up the Colts' game-winning field goal drive. PR T.J. Rushing had one return for 2 yards and one kickoff return for 14 yards. Baltimore averaged 26.3 yards on three kickoff returns and 6 yards on two punt returns. The Colts also recovered a fumble on McAfee's final punt of the game, LB Freddy Keiaho coming up with the ball after Baltimore S Ed Reed tried to lateral to a Ravens teammate.

COACHING: B-plus -- Jim Caldwell is the first rookie head coach in the NFL to begin his career with a 10-0 record. The Colts have won their last four games by a combined total of 10 points. Caldwell has proved that he belongs as a head coach in the NFL and that he hasn't been cowed by the long shadow of former Colts coach Tony Dungy. He has proved to be his own man and hasn't been averse to taking chances when the situations present themselves.
