Manning started the game with seven consecutive completions and finished it with six more. In a weird quirk, all seven of those opening completions were successful plays, but none resulted in a first down (one was a touchdown pass).

And while Donald Brown was certainly an effective runner, Manning missed the pass-catching abilities of his other backs, as four passes to Brown and the undead Dominic Rhodes produced just eight yards.
