Colts...18 Vikings...15
- Share via
MINNEAPOLIS -- Taking a beating all afternoon, Peyton Manning peeled himself off the Metrodome turf and gave it right back to the Minnesota defense.
Manning rallied Indianapolis from a 15-0 hole late in the third quarter, moving Adam Vinatieri into position for the winning field goal with three seconds left and leading the Colts to an 18-15 victory over the Vikings.
Avoiding his first 0-2 start since his rookie season in 1998, Manning zinged a 20-yard pass on third and nine to Reggie Wayne before Vinatieri hit a 47-yard kick.
The Vikings wasted yet another strong effort by their dominant defense.
Quoteworthy: “He’s seen it all. You can never rattle him, I don’t think.” -- Antoine Winfield, Vikings cornerback, on Peyton Manning
