ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Of all of the stadiums Peyton Manning could play in as he approaches the doorstep to history, it is somehow fitting Manning will have a chance to add two more significant career records to his already substantial list Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.

Manning played 14 seasons for the Colts and led the team to the postseason 11 times, to go with two Super Bowl trips, including the Colts' Super Bowl victory to close out the 2006 season. Manning will arrive at Lucas Oil Stadium with a chance to become the all-time winningest starting quarterback in league history as well as the league's all-time leading passer.

And, oh, the Broncos will bring a 7-0 team to Indy.

"Peyton is going to be pumped," Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. "That too -- being able to get that win for him in Indy, that's huge. It's something I know that he probably wants very bad. He'll never say it to you all, he'll never say it to us, but we know that he wants to go home and get a win. It's important for us to do our job, give him the ball back a lot so we can give him a lot of opportunities to put up points."

With his 186 career wins, including the Broncos' victory over the Green Bay Packers this past Sunday night, Manning is tied with Brett Favre for most in league history. Manning also needs 283 yards passing yards to pass Favre for No. 1 on that list.

Manning was a 22-year-old when the Colts made him the No. 1 pick in the 1998 draft. He started every game for the team from '98 until he closed out the 2010 season, winning four MVP awards with the franchise.

In 2011 he had his fourth neck surgery, missed the season and the Colts released him in March 2012. Manning signed with the Broncos and has gone 45-10 during his regular-season starts with the team while winning three consecutive AFC West titles.

The Broncos also advanced to the Super Bowl following the 2013 season and Manning won his fifth MVP award when he broke the NFL's single-season touchdown record, with 55, as well as the single-season record for passing yardage.

Manning, who threw for 340 yards in Sunday's win over the Packers, was asked following the 29-10 victory how he would get ready for his second trip to play in Indianapolis as Broncos quarterback. Manning, as he will likely do for the remainder of the week as well, took a generic approach to his answer.

"Obviously, we'll come in (Monday) and study this film, we'll study it intensely, see why things worked," Manning said. "What was it? Was it putting guys in the right positions in order to play fast and help them execute? What were the things that the line liked and the backs liked and the receivers? We'll study that, and then Tuesday is your off day. You kind of start looking at these guys that you're going to play next week."

The Colts defeated the Broncos 39-33 in Lucas Oil Stadium during the 2013 season. Manning finished that game 29-of-49 passing for 386 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. The Colts played a video tribute to Manning. But in the days leading up to the game, Colts owner Jim Irsay had said: "You make the playoffs 11 times, and you're out in the first round seven out of 11 times. You love to have the Star Wars numbers from Peyton and Marvin (Harrison) and Reggie (Wayne). Mostly, you love (a Super Bowl ring).''

Manning was sacked four times in the game, twice by Robert Mathis, who also forced a fumble.

And for just a little added spice this week, the Colts are the team that knocked the Broncos out of the playoffs this past January and set in motion the Broncos' decision to part ways with coach John Fox and hire Gary Kubiak.

"We all kind of know the situation," Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall said. "We all want to win first, including Peyton, but we all know how long he was there and that he's going to want to show what he has here with this team."
