Manning breaks Unitas' Colts TD record

  -- The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Colts quarterback Peyton Manning set a club record with his 288th career touchdown pass Sunday, breaking the mark held by Johnny Unitas.

Manning entered the game against the Carolina Panthers needing one TD pass to match Unitas' 287, and tied the Hall of Famer with a 4-yard scoring pass to Joseph Addai with 12:11 left in the third quarter.

Then, Manning broke the record when he pump-faked and found Reggie Wayne behind cornerback Ken Lucas for a 59-yard touchdown with 4:47 left in the period.
