Notes:  The Colts continue their dominant season, blasting the Falcons on Thanksgiving night. Indy improves to 9-2 on the season and 13-1 against Atlanta, the best record for any head-to-head matchup of at least 10 games.  Atlanta RB Warrick Dunn became the 22nd player to reach 10,000 rushing yards, achieving the feat on a 2-yard run in the second quarter.

 

QB Payton Manning, 22-for-32 for 272 yards, passed another Colts great, Johnny Unitas, for 10th place on the NFL's career passing list with 40,407 yards. He also broke a tie with Warren Moon for fifth place in career TD passes, moving to 294.
