of the nfl of today of compared with that of johnny unitas.the list of the season. but there is no denying that. manning is a great player in a future hall of famer, worthy of the reaction. what is still in question, why the indianapolis and baltimore colts continue to be linked. it is a disservice to both the city of indianapolis and baltimore, and the nfl needs to separate the franchise's once and for all. records are clearly made to be broken, and not even peyton manning has come close to breaking johnny unitas's record of 47 consecutive games with a touchdown pass. if he does, it'll be his alone. however, we believe it is now shared with an asterisk. the next time you go to ribbings game, be sure to take a minute to admire and salute the statue of the greatest baltimore colt of all time. th >>> the fallout over what was

it would be johnny unitas. because of that i have to go with johnny u. red. >> here is my one idea. while it is one franchise, the day they moved they became two. unitas belongs to baltimore and peyton belongs to indy. we need to go down to miami where stuart scott anchors our coverage of "monday night football." >> golic, don't ever stand up like that in the studio. this looks like our tradition. steve, you love it. the dolphin fans wins the pregame arm wrestling. stuart scott, steve young. >> really? >> it is week two. >> it is ridiculous tv. >> stop the whole thing. >> that was past ugly. >> i can't say it. >> the miami dolphins are playing in their 74th monday night game. more than any other nfl team. they are taking on a indianapolis colts team that are always good. are the colts still an elite team in the nfl? >> they will be an elite team for a long time. we are back to the prefree agency days. we are talking pittsburgh. we are talking new england and philadelphia, tennessee. this team, indianapolis. they will have ebbs and flows and might be this

my dad always told me his two favorite athletes growing up are mickey mantle and johnny unitas and that puts it in perspective for me and know the impact johnny unitas had on a lot of people and the nfl and the passing game. he's a winner and won a lot of games there for the baltimore colts. so i am proud to wear the same uniform as him but i still see him in another level that, you know, i'm not comfortable with those compare sons. >> one thing peyton manning has going for him is he makes his 178th straight start. last time he was on this field in south florida he was m.v.p. of super bowl xli. >>> we're back with boomer and t.j. and "the blitz." a pair of teams winning in unexpected fashion. how aaron rodgers came so close to a game-winning drive. see how frank gore made fantasy owners very happy sunday. adrian peterson sees daylight and rarely disappoints. drew brees threw less touchdowns this week and the saints scored twice as much as the eagles. >> welcome back. no donovan mcnabb out for philly with a cracked rib and drew brees with a 6-touchdown pass pace. i'm kidding. maybe not.

manning wins his 119th game under center for the colts, breaking johnny unitas' record. besides those two, the only other quarterback in franchise history with even 25 career wins was burt jones. the colts win despite holding the ball for just 14:53, the first time since the time of possession has been tracked in the mid 1970's that a team won with fewer than 15 minutes of possession. and 239, the dolphins are the third team to rush for 239 yards and lose. titans and cowboys also did that over the weekend in the nfl. what a crazy weekend, what a wild game. and in the end it's peyton manning who gets the job done. back-to-back prime time performances by eli and peyton. this one took a while. peyton, the quick-strike offense. big play, you can't predict when a big play is going to happen. it's an impossible question to ask, who do you take? >> but yet you still ask it. i know archie has got to be a proud papa this weekend. i got to go with peyton manning. what eli is doing is phenomenal. i think it's on track to have the type of career that peyton's having. a wonderful fra
