When will the Colts lose a regular-season game?

Peyton Manning threw for three touchdowns and the Colts rallied from a 13-point halftime deficit Sunday for a 35-27 win, their 20th straight regular-season victory. Indianapolis (11-0) is one win shy of the New England Patriots’ NFL-record 21-game run from 2006-08. The Colts can tie the record if they beat Tennessee at home next weekend.

The Colts can run the table. Why? Manning, Dungy's legacy of low-key cool under pressure, surprisingly little media hype to distract player

    The Colts will lose when the officials decide they no longer can make idiotic penalty calls against the opposition. Las Vegas is ecstatic!

      They find a way to win, that is the story of the Colts this year. Are the without faults, no, but they find a way..

        Who can stop them? No one in the NFL has been able to. Of course, anything can happen, but it looks like they're headed for an great ride.

            Unless the Colts implode between now and the end of the season the only possible team I see beating the Colts are the Broncos.

                one more win vs. Titans and our first string will start being pulled after the first half to avoid injury.

                  I'm picking this late loss to the Bills because the Colts won't care at that point and they can make a statement by beating all wannebes

                    We will sit out starters once we gain home field advantage. We do not care about going 16-0. The Superbowl is all that matters.

                      The Colts can run the table as long as the officials want them to. I am so tired of the "wonder teams" and "darlings of the NFL" and the officials who won't call penalties on those teams but will call numerous and very questionable to downright wrong (as evidenced on replay) on the opposition. I have no problem with the Colts and Peyton Manning is one of the best if not the best quarterback in the NFL. Most of the calls against the Texans were bogus and of course the morale evaporated when they have to play not only another team but the officials too.

                        I suppose your talking about the pass interference call? Replay clearly showed him grabbing his forearm preventing him from a shot at catching the ball...irregardless of where the ball was. or maybe that roughing the passer call? the officials made all the right calls... Good luck against the cheatriots and congrats on your 10-1 start after monday.

                          The Colts will not run the table. Lets face it with the ridiculous and disgusting play calling by the blind refs..always going in favor of the NFL's biggest whiner..yes that would be Peyton baby hands Manning. The Patriots gave them the game, Baltimore gave them the ball..thanks Ed Reed, but in the end the Colts will do all this for a loss and NO Superbowl ring..Too bad Peyton here is some tissue.

                            I agree with you Patsfan. Mr Whiner can just keep paying off the refs. Lets count World Champs titles and Superbowl MVP's and see who runs out first. Pats Rule!!!!!

                              They will loose when the starters are rested going into the playoffs. A tradition at Indy. Not complaining, just stating facts.

                                  He may be wrong about where the game is plaled but tek104 is right on who is going to win. I am a Bronco fan and yes I dont think Broncos are as good as most Bronco fans think. But if Broncos are healthy it will be about the time that they get back in stride and that Indy slacks off. Come backs and heroics got to end sometime and when they do its usually against a poorer record team who is good but not good enough to put it togeher every week. Brooncos 24-21

                                    I've been surprised by how the titans have been winning so they will probably give indy a run. Depending on which bronco team shows up will determine that game but they do have a chance.

                                    Indy will fight for every game until they have home field locked. After that they always rest. Unfortunately, in the past when they have 3 weeks rest for the playoffs they come out rusty. I would rather them lose a couple and have to fight for the last game.

                                    I would like to see them pick up some records like the regular season record and an undefeated season but that doesnt ever seem to be important to them. The Sb is what is important and they don't want to chance injuring their guys for meaningless games and not have them for the SB.

                                    I just wonder how many of Indy's injured players will be ready for the playoffs.

                                      Titans will beat them next week, it will be tough and a very close, but VY and CJ will have big games. The defense will want to play much better than the first game, I think they will pressure Peyton and stop the run. If they don't have any turnovers, Titans win.

                                      All,

                                      The Texans deserved to lose that game. No matter what calls were made the Texans had plenty of chances to take the victory...instead they folded. If you spend the rest of your life blaming the refs or others for what happens in your life you will get nowhere.

                                        I'm a huge diehard Colts fan but we will lose at least one game which will be a blessing in disguise. I can see either the Titans or the Broncos or both beating us but regardless all the Colts have to do is when two more games and they have home-field wrapped up. I'll be the first to admit the Colts have gotten lucky over the past 5 weeks with some questionnable calls going against the opposition and by just bonehead plays by the other team to cost them the game. The patriots handed us that game, don't ask what Ed Reed was doing when they would've had the ball almost at midfield with at least 18 seconds to go no matter if they had timeouts or not they still could've pulled it out. I applaud the Colts for fighting to win every game no matter what but they can't continue to play they way they're playing and expect to win the Super Bowl. Regardless if you like or don't like the Colts you gotta respect their classy and workmanlike attitude. Any team that can win 20 straight games is obviously going something right! GO HORSE!
