Manning considers Monday night game crucial
Associated Press
(Indianapolis) -- Peyton Manning's debut on Monday Night
Football next week is a game he considers crucial to the team.
Indianapolis (1-1) plays Jacksonville (2-1) with the Colts
coming off a disappointing 38-to-31 loss to Oakland in a game it
led 24-to-7 at halftime.
The loss came in the R-C-A Dome, spoiling the team's home opener
and reminding the team of its 19-to-16 playoff loss to Tennessee in
January.
The Colts lost their last two big home games -- and Manning says
he wants to keep the home field advantage. He says he wants the
Colts to be tougher at home.
The Colts had a bye last week and haven't played since September
Tenth. Coach Jim Mora has given the players five days off since
then.
