Peyton vs Greatest Show of Turf! (Colts vs. Rams 2001, Week 16)

the Colts challenge the St Louis Rams and Marshall Faulk one of the leading candidates for most valuable player how do his ex-teammate stop the quick strike offense of St Louis confrontation earlier this year with his quarterback Manning [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] Warner looks for that second now a third option and now throws to the sideline complete that just looked like a walking apartment and it's Tori hold on his way toward the end zone it'll be a tackle at the one foot line he just was denied by Jeff Burris three tight ends give it to fall he knows the way how's that for a hole on the left side Marshall Faulk untouched into the end zone what a job by Orlando Pace Peyton Manning son of a great player our team out of Tennessee and his number is 24 touchdowns three wide receivers with Reggie Wayne the rookie in there flanker screen complete to Wilkins Wilkins into the player at the 50 and all the way to the Rams 43-yard line Second and nine Manning underneath complete to dilger and Ken doger the tight end has a first down Manning steps up looks throws to the end zone complete just shy of the goal line to Marvin Harrison and Harrison rookies worried themselves into weight loss Groves protecting the ball is in the end zone for the touchdown Rhodes with six fumbles in the last seven games was really embracing the pumpkin going to the air not many runs and Warner the fire again steps up and then the shovel pass come and he has a first down thank you Jim Steelers going for their eighth win in a row with the Rams both 12-2 and Marshall fall traded here for a couple of picks in 99. bulk again young man from New Orleans and he is still young worth his age on his jersey only 28. he knows the other 10 players he can write it down and recite it second and three faulked again he knows the hole doesn't it first down at the 34 coming up and Marshall plans on taking his Rams home can intend the toss Ed a strength the Rams Fest in the league on third down and Warner over the middle [Applause] football cleats there so far dick you can't give me an oh this is why Kurt Warner is as good as he is because he could throw it behind people and they'll catch it look at that one-handed stab of a football way behind him by Marshall Faulk oh geez first down at the 14. all yards 63 by Marshall Faulk on this drive by St Louis here he comes again to the three-yard line Tire Marshall fault Drive first and goal at the floor why not Falk again what untouched the linemen are taking turns this time Tom Newton the left guard number 61 gets the kick out and they've shown it very generous the most generous team giving up points in the league now it's up to Manning trailing 14-7 underneath he throws complete to Harrison and these across the 25 that's Marcus Pollard the tight end in motion on first down Manning to this side open and complete is Terence Wilkins and he's wrestled down by Dexter McLean right after this play on second and short Rhodes find some opening 40-50 and boy can he accelerate 18 yards on that carry first down the fake on that long handoff and then Manning down the middle and it's caught by Harrison at the 10-yard line holding that right hand as if he may have had that pinched without a touchdown Manning steps up throws underneath to dilger gilger really hadn't been hidden so he just crawls his way to the one yard line they're saying officially it is second and goal fake to Rhodes and Manning walks it in for the touchdown his fourth rushing touchdown this season he caught the entire Rams team looking for roads well you can't say enough about Jim Moore's offense from the 28 four possessions in the game two each side four touchdowns in the game and back goes Warner to throw lots of time to heave one deep deep at the 20-yard line and it's Troy Tori hold again the Deep ball what kind of a throw was that from Kurt Warner but given so much time again well protected wide open in the end zone touchdown Holt make that Isaac brute I'm not sure David Macklin knows which one it is comes back into a game like this when the season is lost third down the draw play and Rhodes breaking tackles and he streaks out across the 40-yard line to the 41. to Rhodes Manning in trouble big trouble has to throw it away I guess they're saying he didn't get it close enough to the line of scrimmage potential grounding offense and we experience our first punt of the day former Notre Dame kicker this end over end and fielded on the Fly by draybly at the 45 and down at the 48-yard line in excellent field position James Hodgins in motion from his fullback position and Warner steps that throw [Applause] and Bruce is Out of Bounds at the Colts 11-yard line report from the Oakland Denver game as well so stay with us at the half third down and four falcon into the trick TouchDown for Marshall fall [Applause] 12 yards average on first down and the throw into the flag wide open to Isaac Bruce get open if you can't force Warner into some hurried throws second and two they Rush only four on this occasion and Warner throws underneath complete Akeem tackled at the 40 and did not get out of bounds so the clock runs 215 yards in this opening half he's broken his own Ram record now nearly 4 400 passing this year he just gets this one away in time and it's complete Isaac Bruce set the Colts 44 and that stops the clock it's hard to pay a quarterback much more of a complimentary thing than him and that last Rush Macklin hit him just as he threw the ball goes to the end zone this time flying down and it's caught What A Catch by Holt he seemed to be blanketed by Nick Harper and he still took it away the flag is in the secondary of the Colts who suspect it's against them it is touchdown St Louis again [Applause] precisely where it needs to be crook of that average 40 yards of catch four catches two of them touchdowns oh Manning with 22 seconds left foreign Leonard little who leads the Rams with 10 and a half sacks coming in former Tennessee star and teammate of Peyton Manning Peyton Manning just must feel so overwhelmed by what he's watching this Rams offense do Chicago entertains Jacksonville Atlanta will be here should the Rams stumble and the Bears continue to win the bears actually have the tiebreaker advantage a long eight Manning buying some time throws to Harrison and the shore fingered from the Rams 30. Blitz Manning down the middle a broken up a nice play by London Fletcher who a 48-yard field goal is the longest this year is 52. plenty of distance and it is good during our commercial break Peyton Manning talking to his left tackle Tariq Glenn and that's Howard Mudd the offensive line coach they're going over some blocking schemes but seems to be a little disagreement about who's to do what and whose responsibility is whom amen Kurt Warner screens on the first play and Falk Briggs tackles out to the 34-yard line certainly was and boy does he know how to coach offensive line Warner all by out the throne complete Isaac Bruce to the 42-yard line they're not scared but they are definitely unsure of what they're supposed to do Warner now in a roll and then throws back right to the quarterback for the Colts and it is David Macklin who gets a freebie pick it's their second interception of the Season that was a tight end throwback screen to wearing his dad's old College uniform number 18 that flanker screen that worked so well early in the game to Wilkins does not this time at the Rams 41. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 40 and down at the 37. Marcus Washington finally made the stop Ricky Kroll in motion and it's full with a good block on the corner they've already signed some people they've signed some free agents already a real Head Start they're going to be uh with Indianapolis in the AFC South underneath to a team they have really shown that they're on the improve [Applause] Warner over the middle complete the first sixth time touchdown no they're going to call him down dick it appeared he was in the end zone just touched down at the Hodgins and Falk on second and goal and Marshall Faulk again finds a priests and he's in the end zone for his fourth full today [Applause] Peyton Manning from his 25-yard line [Applause] good protection for Manning down the middle of Marcus Pollard from the big tight end second and ten Rhodes nice cop ten five and down to the two yard line Thank to Rose Manning dragged down he could not outrun Leonard little nor will he ever and it's a heavier little he's gained 20 pounds he used to be around 2 30. now he's up in the 50s Blitz and Manning gets it away but it's intercepted by draybly and Bly will take the touch back intended for Marvin Harrison and Manning had to throw with the two Rams right in his face turbo still in uniform back up I think down in Carolina [Applause] on second and eight Corner over the middle complete and it's Tori Holt that's the kind he throws back last weekend in the Seattle Seahawks have so much of it on their back they're the ones that are fighting to get in if Seattle should lose which would be their eighth loss the Jets and the Miami Dolphins and and the Ravens are home free they're all in because so Seattle has to win to keep pressure on those other teams or else you're right it's an amazing day quick hitter over the middle to Tori Holt and Holt having a personal record day here in St Louis this afternoon another catch 213 yards in receptions the St Louis Rams the Super Bowl champions two years ago and Mike Martz and this offense is so incredibly difficult to defend and most impressive once again in the victory against the Colts header is next here on CBS Raiders Broncos and Seattle and San Diego AFC Western rivalries good action ahead as well as all the scores and highlights
