SUNDAY NIGHT

Al Michaels serves as the play-by-play announcer and Cris Collinsworth provides the color commentary for tonight’s Indianapolis at Tennesssee game (5:15, Channel 4):

Michaels says ...

When we’re in a meeting with Peyton Manning, there’s nothing he’s not aware of in the game. You bring up anybody on the 53-man roster, including the inactives, and he can tell you everything about that guy. He can tell you about their schemes, about coaches’ tendencies. He never identifies guys by numbers the way some people do. He always knows the guy’s name and something about the guy. He studies so religiously, and that’s why when he goes up to the line of scrimmage he’s a surgeon.

Collinsworth says ...

It’s amazing that you’re at this point in the season and you end up with a team that had the best record in football last season in a must-win game against arguably the hottest team in football. If the Titans are going to dig their way out of the hole, they’re going to have to do it now. But Tennessee’s got some injuries in that secondary, and the last game they had to finish with two rookies playing cornerback. Let’s just say that’s not a dream scenario with No. 18 coming to town.
