An interception of Joe Flacco by Colts linebacker Gary Brackett snuffed out a deep Ravens drive late in the fourth quarter, as Indianapolis remained unbeaten by outlasting Baltimore, 17-15, at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens (5-5), who had moved the ball consistently on Indianapolis (10-0) for much of the day but had to settle for five Billy Cundiff field goals, moved within range of a sixth Cundiff field goal when Flacco led them to the Colts' 14-yard line with 2:49 to play. But on a 3rd- and-7 play, Brackett stepped in front of Flacco's short pass attempt to running back Ray Rice, and a subsequent first-down by the Colts, coupled with some questionable end-of-game management by the Ravens, helped Indy move to 10-0 for the second time in four seasons. The Colts have won 19 consecutive regular-season games since a loss at Tennessee last October 27, the second-longest streak in NFL history behind the Patriots' 21-game run from 2006-08. The win marked the seventh consecutive time, including playoffs, that the Colts have won in their former home of Baltimore. Peyton Manning completed 22-of-31 passes for 299 yards and a first-quarter touchdown to keep Indianapolis unbeaten, but also threw a pair of interceptions and finished with fewer than 300 yards for just the second time this season. Joe Flacco was 23-of-35 for 256 yards and the key interception, with six of the completions for 104 yards coming in the second half to wideout Derrick Mason, who starred with nine catches for 142 yards on the day.
