2009 Week 9 recap

Coltzilla goes back in time

This was a game of two halves. The Colts totally controlled the line of scrimmage in the first half; the Texans in the second half. The Colts offense runs three… that’s three… plays in the third quarter. It’s also a game of penalties and milestones; penalties for Houston, milestones for Indy. Peyton Manning became the first ever to throw for 40,000 yards in one decade. Jim Caldwell became the first NFL rookie coach since 1930 to win his first eight games. Dallas Clark caught 14 passes, the third highest for a single game by a tight end in NFL history. Dwight Freeney recorded his ninth straight game with a sack, breaking Robert Mathis’ record. And Reggie Wayne moved past Raymond Berry on the Colts’ career reception list.
