Big D’s D forced Peyton into thinking it was the post season. Peyton, who eats up regular season competition looked more like his brother during his rookie campaign than himself in this one. In one of his poorest showings ever Manning was sacked 4 times and under constant duress all day long. This lead to overthrown balls and a record 5 pics by the Cowboy secondary. 2 of those picks wound up in the outstretched arms of Anthony Henry. Greg Ellis recorded 2 of Dallas’ 4 sacks.
Things only got worse for the Colts on the defensive side of the
ball, which was not helped one bit by the absence of all-world DE Dwight Freeney. Mr. October, Tony Romo, had another one of his classic early season games by going: 25-44-351-3TD. Jason Whitten was key around the goal line snatching 2 TD passes and T.O. was off the charts between the 20’s (7-134). Marion Barber had 99 yards rushing on 12 carries with most of his yards coming on a huge 68 yard run on the second play of the game from scrimmage.
