Manning out of Luck on return home

The highly-anticipated showdown between Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and his former team, the Indianapolis Colts was as tense as it was emotional on Sunday night.

Manning out of Luck on return home

It began with a protracted standing ovation from the Colts fans just before kick-off and ended with a first loss for the visitors as Manning failed to match the rousing performance of his young successor, Andrew Luck.

The Colts, ably assisted by a defence that sacked their former leader four times as well as intercepting him once, bounced back from a defeat to San Diego with this 39-33 victory, with Luck throwing for three touchdowns before adding a rushing TD of his own in the third quarter.
