This Day in Football History

2013 - Peyton Manning returns to Indianapolis 

Andrew Luck throws three touchdown passes to lead the Indianapolis Colts to a 39-33 victory over the previously unbeaten Denver Broncos, spoiling Peyton Manning's homecoming.

Manning completes 29-of-49 passes for 386 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the loss, which snaps the Broncos' 17-game regular-season winning streak.

"Hopefully we'll have a chance to play these guys again because that would mean we made the playoffs," Manning says afterwards. "I think if there is a next time it may be a little bit easier just because it was somewhat of an emotional week and it can be a little bit draining, I will say that."

2010 - Colts suspend Pat McAfee following arrest

Less than 24 hours after his arrest for public intoxication, Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee is suspended one game for conduct detrimental to the team.

McAfee is the fourth Colts player to be arrested on an alcohol-related charge within the past year.

"I talk about it more often than the bye weeks," head coach Jim Caldwell says. "But that's not the issue. What I've been doing hasn't been enough. So the fact of the matter is we've got to get it straightened out."

According to the police report, McAfee took a pre-dawn swim in a city canal and was found sopping wet. 

When asked if he had been swimming in the canal, McAfee responded, "I am not sure." Police then asked him why he was wet, to which he responded, "It was raining." When asked how much he had to drink, McAfee said, "A lot 'cause I'm drunk."
