JACKSONVILLE, FLA. (AP) -- Peyton Manning completed his first 17 passes and threw for 364 yards and three touchdowns in leading Indianapolis to a 31-24 win over Jacksonville. The win clinches the Colts' seventh straight playoff berth. Indianapolis will be the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs.
Manning finished 24-of-34 in guiding the Colts to their eighth straight win. But it wasn't easy. The Colts didn't lead until Keiwan Ratliff returned an interception 35 yards for a touchdown with 4:48 left.
