The Indianapolis Colts' stampede towards a perfect season continued with a convincing win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night.

Peyton Manning passed for 245 yards and two touchdowns and running back Edgerrin James rushed for 124 yards to lead the Colts to a 26-7 victory.

James said, "We've got to stick with what we've been doing since the beginning of the season."

The Colts became the 11th club to start a season 11-0 since the NFL's inception in 1920. The last team to get off to a better start was the 1998 Denver Broncos, who won their first 13 games before losing.

The only team to have a perfect season in NFL history was the 1972 Miami Dolphins, who went 14-0 in the regular season and won all three post-season games.
