Peyton Manning's injury has sent Colts into historic freefall - Don Banks - SI.com
Just two short years ago, the top story as the NFL's regular season unfolded was the Indianapolis Colts and their pursuit of a perfect record. The Colts opened that year 14-0, and then inspired a national debate by taking their foot off the gas after Christmas, choosing to rest their players for the playoffs rather than chase perfection.
FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | Week 7 DVOA Ratings
After the Saints stomped the Colts 62-7, I thought they were going to have one of the best single-game DVOA ratings of all-time. I thought they might even challenge the all-time best game, Pittsburgh's 145.6% DVOA in their 43-0 Week 1 win over expansion Cleveland in 1999. However, it turns out the Saints don't even come close to making the all-time top ten. In fact, they don't even have the best game of the week. Instead, Houston puts up the best single-game DVOA of the year at 122.7%, while New Orleans is "only" at 71.1%.

1. Pete Carmichael, offensive coordinator, Saints. With Sean Payton nursing his injured leg up in the press box, Carmichael got to call the plays for the entire game for the first time in his career. He obviously did pretty well as the Saints scored on their first nine possessions. Carmichael has kept a low profile and he’s a quiet guy. But he’s known and respected throughout the league. It looks like he’ll continue calling the plays for some time. That should only raise his profile and his name could start coming up in some conversations about head-coaching jobs.
