STARS

Passing

Manning's first touchdown was a 51-yard pass to running back C.J. Anderson.

The woman, whom the team declined to identify, was carted off the field and treated at a hospital for head, back and neck injuries. The team said the woman later was cleared to leave, walked out under her own power and was recuperating at home.

"It's interesting, you know, how guys grab me everywhere on the field, and I put literally two fingers on somebody and you make that kind of call. That's why I switched.
