Watching sports-- Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning keeps adding to career numbers

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning owns the NFL's longest active streak of consecutive games started now that Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre's streak has ended at 297.

Manning is scheduled to make his 207th straight start Sunday against the Raiders. That would tie him with former Raiders left guard Gene Upshaw for the most consecutive starts to begin a career. Manning joined the league in 1998 out of the University of Tennessee as the No. 1 pick of the NFL draft.To put Manning's streak in better perspective, every one of the league's 31 other teams has used at least three starting quarterbacks during the past 13 seasons. Chicago has used 17, Miami and Cleveland 16 each.The following 15 players started at quarterback for the Raiders since Manning joined the Colts: Aaron Brooks, Jason Campbell, Kerry Collins, Daunte Culpepper, Charlie Frye, Rich Gannon, Jeff George, Bruce Gradkowski, Donald Hollas, Josh McCown, Rick Mirer, JaMarcus Russell, Marques Tuiasosopo, Andrew Walter and Wade Wilson.Manning is showing no signs of slowing down, either. In 14 games this season he has attempted a career-high 608 passes and completed 407. He needs 34 completions to break Drew Brees' NFL season record (440 for New Orleans in 2007). Manning also is 84 attempts shy of surpassing former New England quarterback Drew Bledsoe's mark for most attempts in a season (691).

"Obviously, some of it was by design and some of it was out of necessity," Caldwell said. "It just depends on the game we're playing, who we're facing. ... We are who we are. We're not going to change that."# Raiders coach Tom Cable's NFL playing career consisted of three games as a strike replacement player for the Colts in 1987.

"Guys who were playing during that time were just looking for opportunities," he said. "Kind of a blessed time. You were getting an opportunity that you probably didn't have (before the strike)."The Colts went 2-1 with Cable on the roster.Raiders defensive coordinator John Marshall was the Colts' defensive-line coach when Cable passed through. When asked what kind of player Cable was as a guard, Marshall said: "I can't remember."Then, after a pause, he deadpanned, "He was great. Dominant. Big, dominant man."
