The Usual Suspects

Here’s ColtPlay’s annual report on Colts penalties. Players are listed by their normal position on plays from scrimmage, not where they were penalized. For example, Darrell Reid is listed with defensive linemen, despite the fact that of his three penalties, one was on offense and the other two were on special teams.

• All three were delay of game calls, and knowing Manning, they were probably all intentional

1-10 Reggie Wayne
1-5 Anthony Gonzalez

Tight ends
