FRANK REICH<br />
Wide Receivers<br />
Frank Reich is in his first season as wide receivers coach of the <strong>Colts</strong>. He served<br />
from 2009-10 as quarterbacks coach with the club, and he served previously as<br />
offensive coaching staff assistant in 2008. He was a coaching intern with the club<br />
from 2006-07.<br />
In 2010, QB-Peyton Manning was 450-679-4,700, 33 TDs/17 ints., Manning set<br />
club seasonal-bests in completions, attempts and yards, while his completion total<br />
also set the NFL seasonal record. Manning was selected to his 11th Pro Bowl, surpassing<br />
John Unitas for the most by a <strong>Colts</strong> QB and tying Brett Favre for the most<br />
by an NFL QB. Manning has started all 208 career games, the most ever to open a career by an NFL<br />
player at any position. The offense produced a franchise-record 13th consecutive season with 5,000+<br />
net yards. Manning extended his own NFL records with his 13th consecutive 25+-TD season and an 11th<br />
4,000+-yardage season. Manning has 11 double-digit victory seasons, the most by an NFL QB in the<br />
Super Bowl era. He ranks 3rd in NFL touchdown passes, and he stands as the only NFL QB with 200<br />
more career scoring passes than interceptions. The club had the NFL's top-ranked passing offense.<br />
In 2009, Manning was 393-571-4,500, 33 TDs/16 ints., for a 99.9 rating and a franchise seasonalrecord<br />
68.8 completion percentage. Manning won an unprecedented fourth Associated Press Most<br />
Valuable Player Award (2003-04, 08-09), along with a 10th Pro Bowl bid. Manning became the 4th<br />
NFL QB with 50,000 career yards. The club had seven fourth-quarter comeback wins, the most by any<br />
team since the 1970 NFL Merger. The <strong>Colts</strong> had a league-record five consecutive fourth-quarter comeback<br />
wins. Indianapolis produced the NFL's 2nd-ranked passing attack. In 2008, Indianapolis ranked<br />
15th in NFL total offense and 3rd in AFC passing offense, 5th in the NFL. Manning was 371-555-4,002,<br />
27 TDs/12 ints. The offense sported four receivers with 50+ receptions for only then the second time<br />
in franchise history (82, Reggie Wayne; 77, Dallas Clark; 60, Marvin Harrison; 57, Anthony<br />
Gonzalez). Wayne produced the fifth of his now seven consecutive 1,000+ seasons and earned a Pro<br />
Bowl bid. Clark set the franchise seasonal records for TE receptions and yards (848), then broke both<br />
again in 2009. The club surrendered 14 sacks, 4th-fewest in the NFL, while setting a club seasonal<br />
mark (since broken) by allowing one sack for every 42.8 pass attempts.<br />
Reich was a 14-year NFL veteran quarterback. He was a D3-85 draft choice (57th overall) by Buffalo,<br />
where he played from 1985-94, before signing with Carolina in 1995. Reich spent 1996 with the New<br />
York Jets and 1997-98 with Detroit.<br />
During his playing career, Reich engineered two of the greatest comebacks in football history. He first<br />
led the University of Maryland from a 31-0 deficit to Miami in 1984 to a 42-40 victory. It was then the<br />
greatest comeback in college football history. Then, in the 1992 AFC Wild Card Playoffs, starting for<br />
injured QB-Jim Kelly, Reich led Buffalo from a 35-3 third-quarter deficit to a 41-38 overtime comeback<br />
victory against Houston. It still stands as the greatest comeback in NFL history. Reich started the next<br />
game and led Buffalo to a victory against Pittsburgh in the Divisional Playoffs, before Kelly returned to<br />
help lead the team to the Super Bowl.<br />
Reich was born December 4, 1961 in Freeport, N.Y. He resides with his wife, Linda, and their three<br />
children in Indianapolis.<br />
