INDIANAPOLIS - Robert Mathis and Reggie Wayne have seen Peyton Mannings high-flying act. As longtime teammates, they played a part in Mannings gaudy stats, record-breaking quests and even the distracting pursuits of perfection. This week, as outsiders, they will put all that inside knowledge to use as Andrew Luck and the Colts try to derail Manning and the unbeaten Broncos. Watch the game live on TSN tonight. Coverage begins with Football Night in America at 7pm et/4pm pt. "Youve got try to rattle him as much as you can," Mathis said. Its never been easy for a veteran team like the Patriots to do, and it wont be any simpler for Lucks young Colts (4-2), who have never been through a week quite like this. Mannings return to Indy has been hyped 24/7, helped along by Denver coach John Foxs criticism and the ensuing media outcry over comments made by Colts owner Jim Irsay — comments that were virtually identical to what he had been saying for months. There has been curiosity over how long and exactly what the Colts will do to honour Manning during pregame festivities. And, of course, everyone wants to know what will be going through Mannings masterful mind as he suits up in Lucas Oil Stadiums visiting locker room for the first time. "For me to predict, I just cant give you an answer," Manning said, a tactful attempt to deflect attention from himself. "I guess Ill know a little more after the game." What Wayne and Mathis know better than most is how good Manning can be. Nobody has thrown more touchdown passes through six games (22) and no quarterback since 1950 has produced more double-digit winning streaks. Manning has officially done it five times, six when counting the four-game playoff run that led to his only Super Bowl title, a string the league does not count. Denvers 17-game winning streak is tied for the fourth longest in NFL history. Not long ago, Manning was doing all this in Indy. Colts fans remember his record-breaking 2004 season with 49 TD passes, and Mathis and Wayne played key roles in Indys league-record 23-game winning streak led by Manning in 2008-09. They were also around for the 13-0 start in 2005 when Indys average winning margin was 16.3 points. Its different this time. Mannings Broncos (6-0) are on pace to shatter the NFLs single-season scoring record and, fair or not, many will watch Sunday nights game to see whether Luck can live up to the standards Manning established. But if Mathis and Wayne learned anything from Manning, its this: forget the sideshows. "Its a big game to us just because every game is a big game. Were coming off a loss. We really feel like we didnt display our talents the way we should have last week," Wayne said. "We get another opportunity to change that over, to kind of change some thoughts in peoples minds. ... Im just ready to play." Here are five things to watch Sunday night: HEAD GAMES: Mannings ability to call plays at the line of scrimmage is second to none. Wayne, Mathis and Antoine Bethea saw Manning do it in practice and on games days for nearly a decade. Colts coach Chuck Pagano plans to take advantage of that expertise this weekend, but its unclear how much it will help. Wayne told reporters this week that his insights would be irrelevant because Manning would "change it anyway." But watching the mind games between Manning and his ex-teammates should be one of the nights more intriguing matchups. NO. 1 vs. NO. 1: The Luck-Manning showdown will be the feature attraction of Week 7, and with good reason. This is the first time in the common draft era that two quarterbacks drafted No. 1 overall by the same franchise played for that team and later met in a game. John Elway and Jeff George were also taken No. 1 overall by the Colts and squared off four times, but Elway was traded to Denver without ever playing for the Colts. Manning and Luck also happen be two of the leagues best. KEEPING UP WITH THE BRONCOS: Denvers 44.2 points per game translates into more than 700 points over the 16-game schedule. At that rate, most opponents will be forced into playing catch-up. The trick for Indy will be controlling the ball. As the Colts have repeatedly said, they want this team to be more balanced between run and pass, and the addition of Trent Richardson should help that transformation. If the Colts control the clock, they could control the game. FINAL IMPRESSIONS: Everybody knows about Mannings late-game heroics. But Luck has been every bit as good since coming into the league last season. His seventh fourth-quarter comebacks in 2012 set a rookie record and were tied for the most by any quarterback since 1970. Luck has produced two more fourth-quarter rallies this season, and this time hes getting some help from the defence, which has allowed just 13 points in the fourth quarter of the first six games. HOME, SWEET, HOME: Indy has traditionally been one of the leagues best home teams, and Luck has only added to the reputation by going 9-2 since last season. But Manning has been every bit as comfortable at Lucas Oil Stadium, which many credit him for getting the funding to build. Manning was 19-5 at the retractable-roof stadium from 2008-10, and until last season, one of the Manning quarterbacks had won in Indy every season since 1998 (Eli won the Super Bowl in Indy after the 2011 season when Peyton sat out the year). Could it happen this weekend? Stay tuned. ___ AP NFL website: http://pro32.ap.org/poll .

Watch all the action unfold live on TSN at 10pm et/7pm pt. The Canucks are 0-2-2 in their past four, the second-longest losing stretch of the season behind just an 0-3-2 skid from Nov. 9-19. Vancouver faded on Sunday versus the Anaheim Ducks, giving up a game-tying goal with under two minutes to go in the third period and then the overtime winner in a 4-3 setback with 0.6 seconds left in overtime. The Canucks were outshot 24-8 over the final two periods and overtime. "Weve beaten ourselves a little bit. Weve had a lot of struggles in a lot of different areas the past couple of games. We have to keep our heads and keep on working at our game," said Canucks coach John Tortorella. Henrik Sedin recorded a goal and two assists, while Ryan Kesler and Kevin Bieksa scored for Vancouver. Daniel Sedin finished with three assists and Eddie Lack did his best with 45 saves. Lack got the start after Roberto Luongo got hurt in a collision in net versus the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday. Luongo had just returned from a brief three-game absence caused by a lower-body injury. It is unknown how long Luongo will be out and the team confirmed on Tuesday that Lack will face the Penguins for the first time in his career. Pittsburgh has won its last three versus Vancouver, the last two in a shootout. That includes a 4-3 home win on Oct. 19 in the first of two meetings this season. Malkin had the winner in the third round and Sidney Crosby had a goal and two assists as Fleury made 36 saves.dddddddddddd Luongo turned aside 25 shots in the setback. Pittsburgh is leading the Eastern Conference with 63 points as it has been able to overcome a number of injuries this season. One of the most recent was to Evgeni Malkin, who sat out nine straight games with a lower-body injury before returning in Sundays 6-5 win over the Winnipeg Jets. Though understandably tired afterwards, Malkin didnt miss a beat by logging a pair of goals and an assist. That gave the forward 11 goals and 44 points in just 33 games this season. "Tough game for me. Im a little bit tired, but thanks to my linemates. They did a great job. Most of the time we were in the offensive zone," said Malkin. "I missed lots of game. Im excited to be back and just have fun." James Neal certainly enjoyed Malkins return, notching two goals and an assist himself. Neal has 16 goals and 34 points in 24 games this season, missing 15 earlier in the campaign with a lower-body injury before sitting out another five in early December due to a suspension. Matt Niskanen had the go-ahead goal in Sundays win and Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 29 saves. Kris Letang returned from a 10-game absence caused by an elbow issue and had an assist. Pittsburgh won for the fourth time in its last five games and for the 12th time in a row at home to match a club record. The Pens will have to wait to try and set a new mark as their next three are on the road. The triumph was Pittsburgh head coach Dan Bylsmas 232nd career win, tying him with Eddie Johnson for the most victories in franchise history as well.
