Indy’s perfect season is still 100% intact – Indianapolis kept their 100 per cent record intact with a 20-17 victory over Houston in week 8 of the NFL.

Peyton Manning had a great game, and now the Colts are only the fourth team in league history with a 17-game winning streak. Manning opened the game with 25 passes in the first quarter, the most by any quarterback in the first quarter since 1991. And after running 37 of the first 44 offensive plays, Indy led only 13-0. He finished 34 of 50 for 318 yards with one TD and one interception. Dallas Clark had 14 receptions for 119 yards, and Reggie Wayne caught eight passes to move past Hall of Famer Raymond Berry for second on Indy’s career list.

What does this mean for us NFL anerican football fans? Well the Colts became only the fourth team in league history with a 17-game winning streak. New England did it twice – winning 21 straight from 2006-08 and 18 in a row from 2003-04 – and Chicago achieved the feat in 1933-34. But remember how the Patriots were favorites to win the Super Bowl in 2008 only to go down against the NY Giants–we’ll have to see if the Colts’ run can make it all the way to the Super Bowl.
