New York Giants vs Indianapolis Colts
8:20 PM ET, September 19, 2010
Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN
Although Peyton Manning will be facing his brother for the second time in the NFL this weekend, the Indianapolis Colts' star quarterback has bigger issues on his mind.
Helping his team avoid an 0-2 start is chief among them.
To prevent that from happening for the first time since his 1998 rookie season, the Colts need to bounce back from a stunning opening loss when they host Eli Manning and the New York Giants on Sunday night.
Despite the high-profile matchup between the Manning brothers, Indianapolis' focus is on correcting the mistakes that led to a 34-24 loss at Houston last week. The Colts allowed the Texans to run for a franchise-record 257 yards -- 231 by unheralded Arian Foster, who also scored three touchdowns -- while gaining only 44 yards on the ground themselves.
Indianapolis' weakened offensive line also struggled to contain the Texans' pass rush, as Peyton Manning was sacked twice and hit repeatedly.
