Depleted Colts Tumble, 23-10

In their preseason opener, Dallas romped over an Indianapolis defense already decimated by injury and free agency, chewing up 17 minutes on two early drives that ended in field goals. Peyton Manning and the first-string offense were given only one drive to show off, mustering a long field goal after Manning overthrew Marvin Harrison in the end zone.

Three starters from last year's Colts secondary were missing, including both corners, who departed for lucrative offers elsewhere; the defensive line had two out due to injury, including Anthony "Booger" MacFarland, whose season is already over. The Colts are now 1-10 in their last 11 preseason games, an admittedly meaningless statistic.
