Those number mirror Brady's: 64.5 percent for 2,176 yards with 17 TDs and five picks.
"Obviously we've adapted. I think that's the thing we talk about and follow through on," said Colts coach Jim Caldwell. "We've had some pretty key losses, but we don't use any of that as an excuse. You just have to depend on guys who are next in line to be able to step up and perform, and we've been able to get that for the most part."
Unlike just about every meeting, the two will play a game of quarterback role reversal.
"We're still dealing with it. It's a week-to-week transition," admitted Manning. "Out of respect for Dallas, I'm not sure if you can replace Dallas Clark. I think you just adjust. I think Dallas is that good of a player and deserves that much respect. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
For the first time, Manning can understand all those games that Brady was forced to throw to the likes of Donald Hayes, Reche Caldwell, Jabar Gaffney and J.J. Stokes.
"Jacob (Tamme) has really been working hard. He's been learning on the run. Even though he's been here for three years now, he really hasn't played a whole lot in games, so he and I are getting good game experience together. He's really done a good job, made some huge plays, a couple of huge touchdowns for us. And we're throwing a lot at him as well. We're asking a lot of him. He's really responded well."
The Colts' identity will start and end under center as long as Manning is barking out the calls.

FOXBORO — Do you think at some point this year when things were bleak, Peyton Manning reached out to Marvin Harrison for one more dance?
Like nearly every other meeting between these two greats, the result may show us who has the inside track to the Super Bowl.
He is, was and seemingly always will be the system in Indy.
Meanwhile, Manning has lost Dallas Clark and Anthony Gonzalez for the season and has seen Joseph Addai, Donald Brown, Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie bounce in and out of the lineup with injuries.
For first, Manning envies Brady's weapons

Brady rests, Woods returns
Even without Randy Moss, Brady has Branch, Wes Welker and a pair of promising rookie tight ends in Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski.

"It definitely has been a different type of season because of the abnormal amount of injuries we've had and different guys playing," said Manning. "Every week presents a new challenge. We're sort of trying to form the identity for our team that week depending on who is playing."
