Wilson: Colts stampeding through schedule

The Indianapolis Colts' stampede through the regular season continues.

By virtue of their 42-6 rout over the St. Louis Rams, the Colts' regular-season winning streak is up to 15 games.

That ties the fifth-longest streak in league history. And the Colts set a franchise record with their eighth consecutive road win.

Plus, their 45-15 record away from home since 2002 tops the league.

For the fourth time in the past five seasons, the Colts are 6-0.

"It's like we were home," Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney said. "Whenever you can go to an opponent's stadium and half the crowd is blue, our blue, it's a great feeling."

The Colts were relieved to see former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Bob Sanders make a healthy return after undergoing offseason knee surgery.

He nailed big running back Steven Jackson.

"First hit I had since last year," Sanders said. "That's a big, fast, strong guy."

Sanders said he didn't have any setbacks or swelling.

"After halftime, there was no swelling, which is what I've been looking for," Sanders said. "I made some cuts out there I wasn't real sure about going into the game."
