Manning-Harrison set NFL record for completions
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS - Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison broke the NFL record for most completions by a quarterback-receiver tandem during the Indianapolis Colts' game Monday night against Minnesota.
When Manning connected with Harrison for an 8-yard pass with 13:28 left in the third quarter, it was the 664th completion for the duo. Buffalo's Jim Kelly and Andre Reed set the previous record from 1986-96.
Manning and Harrison needed just 61/2 seasons to set the mark.
For Harrison, it was his second milestone of the night.
With 2:11 left in the first quarter, Harrison hauled in his 800th career catch - a 12-yard reception in his 131st NFL game. Harrison, the 11th player with 800 catches, got there in fewer games than any receiver. Jerry Rice had the previous record, needing only 154 games.
Harrison finished with six receptions for 81 yards in a 31-28 win, giving him 804 receptions for his career and 668 catches from Manning.
