Monday night, Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts (2-0) battled it out with the Miami Dolphins (0-2). Manning started the night out with a quick touchdown, but spent most of the night on the sideline because the Colt's offense had the ball for less than fifteen minutes the entire game. Even though the Colt's defense could not stop Miami's Ronnie Brown, who rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns, Manning made most of his opportunities, such as connecting with Pierre Garcon for the 48 yard touchdown reception to seal the deal with 3:18 left in the fourth quarter.
The Colts would not have defeated the Dolphins if it was not for their star quarterback who finished 14 for 23 for 303 yards.
Possessing the ball for 14:53, the Colts had the lowest time of possession for a winning team since 1977.
