Houston, TX -- Peyton Manning threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first quarter, but the Houston defense kept the Colts out of the end zone the rest of the way as Indianapolis held on for a 23-14 victory over the Texans to capture the AFC South title for the second straight year. Manning did set an NFL record with multiple touchdown passes in his 13th straight game, but the two TD throws were his fewest since an October 3 win at Jacksonville. He now has 46 touchdown passes this season, two shy of Dan Marino's single-season mark of 48 set in 1984. Edgerrin James ran for 104 yards on 28 carries and also caught seven passes for 54 yards for the Colts (10-3), who have won six straight and beat Houston for the sixth time in as many all-time meetings. The Texans (5-8) have lost two in a row and five of their last six, but vowed that Manning would not set the touchdown record on their field after he and the Colts embarrassed them in a 49-14 rout on November 14 in Indianapolis. Manning finished the contest 26-of-33 for 298 yards and will have a chance to break Marino's record next week at home against a tough Baltimore defense.
