INDIANAPOLIS (Nov. 22, 2006) -- A loss isn't expected to derail the Indianapolis Colts. It will be much tougher for the Philadelphia Eagles to overcome theirs.

After their undefeated run came to an end, the Colts look to rebound Sunday night against an Eagles team that has lost star quarterback Donovan McNabb for the rest of the season.

For the second straight year, Indianapolis (9-1) was the league's last unbeaten team. The Colts' run was brought to a halt last Sunday with a 21-14 loss at Dallas.

"There's no pressure," Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy said. "I'd like to see us play well and win every game and play better than we did last year. One benefit is that we don't have to answer that question (about being undefeated) any more."

While the Colts may be able to relax a little now that an undefeated season is out of the question, the Eagles (5-5) are in a jam after McNabb tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in last Sunday's 31-13 loss to Tennessee.

The five-time Pro Bowl quarterback's season has ended early for the third time in five years. Jeff Garcia will replace McNabb, who is expected to be sidelined for at least eight months.

After last week's tough loss I expect us to come out strong and win especially considering we're playing a not so great Eagles defence and against there offence without Mcnabb.

PREDICTION: 31-7 COLTS

Colts win in a BLOWOUT.

I am impressed by this team! After a tough loss last week to Dallas we have been dominating this game (even the defence is playing well!). Joseph Addai already has over 100 yards rushing/receiving and is close to 100 yards rushing. All 3 TD's so far have been scored by him as well! That ties a Colts record for most Td's in a game by a rookie and he still has a half plus 5 minutes to go! This game could get ugly.

Eagles have been coming back... Colts fans shouldn't get too cocky... we all saw what happend to the G-Men earlier today

Um I wasn't getting cocky, I was saying that the team was playing prefect throughout the first half........... nice try though. Anyways we owned the Eagles 45-21 and that improves are record to 10-1! Joseph Addai finished the game with 4 TD's which ties a Colts record for most in a game! Good win boys!

Nice try on what? I wasn't referring to anyone in particular... just fans in general....


nice win though, Addai answered many questions as to what the Colts would do without the Edge.
