Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner
left late in the second quarter of the team's game against the St. Louis Rams
Sunday after taking a blow to the head.
An interception of Joe Flacco by Colts
linebacker Gary Brackett snuffed out a deep Ravens drive late in the fourth
quarter, as Indianapolis remained unbeaten by outlasting Baltimore, 17-15, at
M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens (5-5), who had moved the ball consistently on
Indianapolis (10-0) for much of the day but had to settle for five Billy
Cundiff field goals, moved within range of a sixth Cundiff field goal when
Flacco led them to the Colts' 14-yard line with 2:49 to play. But on a 3rd-
and-7 play, Brackett stepped in front of Flacco's short pass attempt to
running back Ray Rice, and a subsequent first-down by the Colts, coupled
with some questionable end-of-game management by the Ravens, helped Indy
move to 10-0 for the second time in four seasons. The Colts have won 19
consecutive regular-season games since a loss at Tennessee last October
27, the second-longest streak in NFL history behind the Patriots' 21-game run
from 2006-08. The win marked the seventh consecutive time, including
playoffs, that the Colts have won in their former home of Baltimore. Peyton
Manning completed 22-of-31 passes for 299 yards and a first-quarter touchdown
to keep Indianapolis unbeaten, but also threw a pair of interceptions and
finished with fewer than 300 yards for just the second time this season. Joe
Flacco was 23-of-35 for 256 yards and the key interception, with six of the
completions for 104 yards coming in the second half to wideout Derrick Mason,
who starred with nine catches for 142 yards on the day.
