NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Quarterbacks nowadays stride to the podium for postgame news conferences in jacket and tie, refreshed and prepared for what to expect and what to give. But Peyton Manning here on Thursday night wore his soiled game uniform to the inquisition, the No. 18 with the big ''C'' on the front.Manning knew he might as well work overtime.
He is in that state of mind with three games left and his team once again -- finally -- sticking its nose above water. The Colts beat the Titans 30-28 at LP Stadium to reach a 7-6 record, kicking Tennessee to its sixth straight loss and a last-place 5-8 record.
The Colts had lost three straight coming into Thursday. Manning was in a funk. An interception-frenzy funk. So his coaches, his receivers, his teammates decided to work overtime for him.
The Colts strode to his rescue.
By game's end, he was back in his familiar spot, leading the way, carving the defense, triggering the winning plays.
