 JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Peyton Manning grew up hearing about his father Archie's exploits in the old horseshoe-shaped stadium in Mississippi's state capital. Now he has his own story to tell.
The younger Manning delighted a crowd of 58,228 in a state where his family holds royalty status, picking apart the New Orleans defense during three early scoring drives to lead the Indianapolis Colts to a 27-14 victory over the Saints on Saturday night.
"I was excited when this game came out on the schedule. I knew my dad had some of his biggest wins in college in this stadium," Manning said. "We've got fans who really have an appreciation for football in this town and I was proud to be able to say I played well in this stadium."
