17 rushing touchdowns, 31 passing TDs, 1 return TD, and 1 defensive TD

2. How many yards did Peyton Manning throw for in Superbowl XLI?

Answer: 247

He threw for 247 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception.

3. Which coach did not lead the Colts to a Super Bowl?

Answer: Weeb Ewbank

Shula and Dungy won Superbowls, and Don McCafferty lead them there but came up short.

4. Who kicked the winning field goal to give the Colts the victory in Super Bowl V?

Answer: Jim O'Brien

Jim O'Brien made a 32 yard field goal to secure the victory in Super Bowl V. Toni Linhart, Lou Michaels, and George Hunt were all players for the Colts but they were not kickers.

5. Who was the MVP in Super Bowl V?

Answer: Chuck Howley

Dallas linebacker Chuck Howley became the first defensive player to be named Most Valuable Player in a Super Bowl. But the honor had a hollow ring for Howley, who also became the first player from a losing team to be named MVP.

6. What Colt was the first to return a fumble 95 yards for a touchdown?

Answer: Chukie Nwokorie

Nwokorie rumbled 95 yards at the New York Jets in 2001.
Coryatt ran 78 yards with a fumble at Pittsburgh on 18-Sep-94. Bennett ran 75 yards with a fumble against The Oilers on 4-Sep-94. Emtman intercepted Dan Marino in Miami in 1992 and raced 90 yards to seal a Colt victory.

7. What Colt was first to return 4 punts for a touchdown during their Colt career?

Answer: Clarence Verdin

Verdin returned punts and kickoffs for the Colts from 1988-93. He also saw action as a wide receiver. He caught 80 passes for 7 TDs during his years with the Colts. His 16.2 yard per catch average shows he was a deep threat. His speed and elusiveness made him fun to watch and a threat to score every time he touched the ball.

Answer: Walter Payton

The Colts had a very good running back in Lydell Mitchell and thus felt no need to draft Walter Payton. Walter is one the very greatest players of alltime. He would have looked good with horseshoes on his helmet.

9. Peyton Manning's first professional game was a preseason contest against the Seahawks in 1998. During that game he threw his very first professional pass. What was the result of that pass?

Answer: A touchdown to Marvin Harrison

Manning hit Harrison on a slant pass and Marvin raced 48 yards to the endzone. It was just a small look into the future as these two would go on to rewrite the Colt and NFL record books.

10. Hard hitting Colt Safety Bob Sanders and talented Tight End Dallas Clark were teammates at what college?

Answer: Iowa

They were both Hawkeyes and became the Colts top draft pick in successive drafts. Clark was taken in 2003 with the 24th pick. Sanders was selected in 2004 with the 44th pick. Both became starters immediately and later helped lead the Colts to Super Bowl XLI
