    What's the story

    On October 29, 2006, the Indianapolis Colts made NFL history by defeating the Denver Broncos 34-31, becoming the first team since the 1929-31 Green Bay Packers to start a season 7-0 in consecutive years.

    Led by quarterback Peyton Manning, the team continued to display a powerful offense and tenacious defense throughout the season.

    We decode the season, the game and the 2005 season.

    Manning threw for 345 yards and three touchdowns to Reggie Wayne, who caught 10 passes for 138 yards.

    With this win, the Colts became the first team since the 1929-31 Packers to start 7-0 in consecutive seasons.

    Adam Vinatieri sealed the game with a 37-yard field goal.

    The 2006 Colts, finished the regular season with a 12-4 record, marking their fourth consecutive season with at least 12 wins.

    They won the AFC Division Championship and advanced through the playoffs, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, and New England Patriots to reach Super Bowl XLI.

    The Colts triumphed over the Chicago Bears 29-17, securing the franchise's first Super Bowl since 1970.
