Return of Harrison gives winless Colts respite

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Marvin Harrison is coming back to Indianapolis on Sunday to be inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor.

For the Colts, the ceremony couldn’t come at a better time.

The league’s only winless team is trying to avoid its first 0-11 start since 1986 this weekend, and seeing the franchise’s career receiving leader will give some of Harrison’s ex-teammates a respite from all the talk about Andrew Luck and the chase of the perfectly imperfect season, 0-16.

Fans remember Harrison most for three plays — a twisting TD catch at New England, a one-handed catch at Tennessee and the playoff game against Denver, when the untouched Harrison got past three Broncos defenders and scored.
