The Denver Broncos will play the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in one of three late afternoon starts in Week 9 of the NFL 2015 regular season. The Broncos will be looking to maintain their perfect start to the season with an eighth straight win today. However, they will be on the road against Andrew Luck and a Colts team desperate for a victory. The game has a scheduled start time of 4.25 p.m. ET and takes place from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link below.
Quarterback Peyton Manning returns to Lucas Oil for the second time since leaving the Colts, and coming into this game Manning is on 71,555 career passing yards, as well as 186 regular season wins, and he is now on the verge of breaking two new records.
It is ironic that Manning now has the chance to break those records in Indianapolis, where he threw most of those yards, and gained most of those wins over 13 seasons.
Manning is just 284 yards away from overcoming Brett Favre's NFL record after last week throwing an immense 340 yards in the Broncos' 29-10 win over the Green Bay Packers.
Manning has looked far from his best for most of this season, but the Broncos have continued to win regardless. However, last week Manning looked like his old self as he demolished the Packers' defense, and if he continues that form this week he should get the record in his old hunting ground.
Earlier this week on Thursday Night Football, the Cincinnati Bengals moved to 8-0 with ease as they demolished a hapless Cleveland Browns team 31-10.
The Browns had been able to keep in touch with the mighty Bengals until the half way stage of the game, and being just 14-10 down after the second period had given their fans hope of an upset.
But the second half saw the Bengals wake up and in particular the final quarter they piled on the pain for the Browns to hand them their seventh defeat of the season so far.
The Thursday Night Football game saw quarterback Andy Dalton throw three touchdown passes to Tyler Eifert as the Browns had no answer to their connection.
Moving to 8-0 sets a new franchise record for the Bengals; it is the first time they have ever been on 8-0 in their history, and is also their longest ever winning streak within a single season.
As well as Dalton and the Bengals offense piling on the pain for the Browns, the Cincinnati defense also played their part by completely shutting down Cleveland in the second half, allowing them just 32 yards and two first downs in total.
Dalton finished on 21 of 27 for 234 yards, and Eifert's three touchdowns move him to nine in total for the season so far, which also ties him for the franchise record for a tight end.
