INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Peyton Manning threw two touchdown passes in the first half Sunday, tying Fran Tarkenton for third on the NFL's career list with 342.

The three-time MVP tied Tarkenton's mark with an audible and a nifty throw to rookie Austin Collie for a 21-yard score with 3 seconds left in the first half. That gave Indy a 21-3 lead.

Manning also threw a 5-yard TD pass to Reggie Wayne late in the second quarter. It was Wayne's 55th career TD catch from Manning, who joined Dan Marino as the only quarterbacks in league history to throw 55 TDs to two different receivers.

Brett Favre, with 469 TDs, and Marino, with 420, are the only players ahead of Manning and Tarkenton.
