The result: New Orleans 31, Indy 17.
Manning did what he could, repeatedly driving the Colts down field andforcing the Saints to gamble. But unlike the previous games this season, hissupporting cast didn’t come through.
It was the first time all season that the Colts’ starters finished a gameand lost.
