Now Playing: Colts VS Broncos
Sure, The Denver Broncos beat The Indianapolis Colts 'B' team
and will now face
Peyton Manning and the real Colts
next week in the playoffs.
The result eliminated Jacksonville and Baltimore from the playoff race and means the Broncos start the postseason next Sunday in a familiar place . . .
. . . at Indianapolis,
where they lost 41-10 in last year's first round.
The Colts came into this game locked into the third seed in the AFC playoffs and knowing a rematch with Denver was very possible. They had nothing to play for, little incentive to show anything, and they acted accordingly.
Manning played just one series. By going 1-for-2, Manning finished the year with a 121.1 passer rating, easily breaking Steve Young's all-time record.
The Colts started three rookies in their defensive backfield. Dominic Rhodes played in place of Edgerin James.
