It wouldn't have been appropriate for Manning to try to tie the NFL record the way his unbeaten team was beating up on the woeful Rams. He was 23 for 34 for 235 yards.

The Colts defense got its first score of the year on rookie Jacob Lacey's 35-yard interception return. Looking fresh coming off their bye, the Colts (6-0) won their 15th straight regular-season game and set a franchise record with their eighth straight road victory.

There were plenty of cheers from a sellout crowd that included a healthy contingent of Indianapolis fans, many who lingered to salute players after the game.

Philip Rivers threw three touchdowns passes and LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for 71 yards in helping the San Diego Chargers trounce the hapless Kansas City Chiefs 37-7 on Sunday. Rivers was 18 for 30 for 268 yards and three TDs as the Chargers won their third in a row in Kansas City for the first time since 1981.

The Chiefs (1-6) had hoped a sloppy win over Washington the week before might provide some much-needed momentum. But they played miserably in just about every phase of the game, falling behind 20-0 in the first half.

Matt Cassel threw three interceptions and the Chargers scored their final touchdown when Jacob Hester blocked a punt at the 20, chased the ball into the end zone and fell on it.
