Filed under: Colts, Giants, AFC South, NFC EastINDIANAPOLIS -- As it turned out, it was way too early to give up on the Indianapolis Colts. The defending AFC Champions quickly pulled away from the New York Giants Sunday night, putting a double-digit loss in their regular-season opener behind them, and turning Manning Bowl II surprisingly one-sided affair with a 38-14 victory at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The Colts, who lost 34-24 in Houston a week ago, dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball early and took advantage of Giants first-half mistakes to pull away to a 24-0 halftime lead.
The matchup was the second between Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and his brother, Eli, the quarterback for the Giants. The Colts also won the first meeting, 26-21, in the opening game of the 2006 regular season.
