SAYWHAT?

"You have to see this as a small window. That's the only way you can look at it. You better take advantage when it's here." Peyton Manning, Colts quarterback

AGENDA

It was media day at the Super Bowl — so players and coaches from both teams were required to meet the press on Tuesday. The teams also practiced in preparation for Sunday's big game.

TRIVIA

Indianapolis set a conference championship record overcoming an 18-point deficit in the AFC title game against New England. What's the largest deficit a team had to overcome to win the Super Bowl?

NOTES

Indianapolis is a 7-point favorite to beat Chicago in the Super Bowl. Oddly enough, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning finds that puzzling. "It's ridiculous to me," he said. "The Bears won 15 games this year. You don't do that without being an incredibly gifted, talented, well-coached team. To me it's an even game. How that point spread comes about makes no sense." ... For 3,600 seconds Tuesday, reclusive Colts receiver Marvin Harrison sat patiently and fielded questions he wouldn't think of availing himself for on a normal day. But this is the Super Bowl, and this was media day. And only under auspices as grand as these would one of the NFL's best receivers consent to talk.

Muhsin Muhammad made history in his first Super Bowl appearance. What he remembers most is losing. The Chicago Bears wide receiver was with Carolina for that 2004 game, a 32-29 loss to New England. He was asked how long it took to get over it.

"Until last Sunday," he said, referring to the Bears' NFC title victory Jan. 21. "Totally healed. It's incredible. You wouldn't believe it."

In the 2004 Super Bowl, Muhammad etched his name in the books with an 85-yard touchdown catch, the longest offensive play in the game's history.

ANSWER

10 points. Washington trailed Denver 10-0 after the first quarter of its 42-10 victory in the 1988 Super Bowl.
