Colts-Rams one-liners

The Colts stretched their regular season winning streak to 15, tied for fifth-longest in NFL history, with a 42-6 rout of the Rams.

Colts QB Peyton Manning tied Warren Moon for fourth place on the list of most completions, but fell short of a sixth-straight 300-yard game because the game didn't require much throwing.

Colts rookie RB Donald Brown rolled up 58 yards on his first two carries, but was forced from the game after that with a minor shoulder injury.

Said Colts DE Dwight Freeney, "We are playing really well together. The secondary, the linebackers, the defensive line, it's like a functioning wave. We are playing off each other and we have a lot of confidence right now."

Rookie Colts CB Jacob Lacey picked off a pass and returned it 35 yards for his first NFL touchdown and then picked up a penalty for his celebration.  

Rams RB Steven Jackson wanted no part of compliments for his season-high 134 rushing yards.

Said Rams QB Marc Bulger, "I'm not into describing things. We got our butts kicked and it was simple as that."

A matchup with Freeney did not go well for Rams rookie T Jason Smith.

Rams WR Donnie Avery was shaken up on a 50-yard catch of a flea-flicker and only caught one pass after that.

Bryan Burwell of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch takes a look at the high mountain the Rams have to climb in their rebuilding process.
