The Colts looked a lot better in this game than the opener against the Vikings.  Peyton Manning was outstanding in this game completing 10 of 14 passes for 167 yards with 2 TD passes.  Curtis Painter was also effective in this game completing 11 of 19 passes for 116 yards with 1 interception.  Lance Ball led the Colts in rushing in this game with 48 yards on 19 carries (2.5 ypc).  Reggie Wayne led the Colts in receiving in this game with 90 yards on 2 catches (45.0 avg) with a TD grab.  TE Jacob Tamme also had a good game with 60 yards on five grabs (12.0 avg).  The Colts only rushed for 62 yards on 29 carries in this game (2.1 ypc) but they also threw for 274 yards which was pretty darn solid.

DE Curtis Johnson (7 tackles, sack) and CB Dante Hughes (7 tackles) led the way for the Colts’ defense in this game.  The Colts were effective against the Eagles’ running game holding them to 23 yards on 17 carries (1.4 ypc).  But, the Eagles threw the ball at will against the Colts rolling up 320 yards in the air.
