Manning, Colts beat Titans to go to 5-0

Published: October 12, 2009
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Peyton Manning's near-perfect start to the season continued Sunday night as he had 309 yards and three touchdown passes, and the Colts never trailed in beating their AFC South rivals 31-9 for their NFL-best 14th straight regular-season win.
Manning joined Kurt Warner and Steve Young as the only NFL quarterbacks to open a season by throwing for at least 300 yards in the first five games. He will have to wait out a bye week to try to match them with a sixth such game.
Indianapolis (5-0) has not lost since its last visit to Nashville and leaves now with a firm grip on the AFC South that the Colts have controlled all but the two seasons Tennessee has won the division.
The Titans have matched their 0-5 start in 2006. It got so bad that Jeff Fisher put in backup quarterback Vince Young in the fourth quarter.
Manning's first touchdown pass of the game in the first quarter gave him 343 for his career and moved him into third on the NFL's career list.
