"For one euphoric moment, Reggie Wayne was more Terrell Owens or Chad Ochocinco than Reggie Wayne.

In the closing seconds of what would be an improbable Indianapolis Colts comeback victory over the New England Patriots 12 months ago at Lucas Oil Stadium, Wayne went down in the back of the end zone for a low, hard fastball from quarterback Peyton Manning. He caught the back end of it for a 1-yard touchdown that completed a 35-34 win.

Wayne bounced to his feet, slammed the football against the ground and did a Lucas Leap into the end-zone stands.

It was spur-of-the-moment ecstasy. It was so un-Wayne-like. And it probably wouldn't register on a top-20 list chronicling touchdown celebrations or otherwise look-at-me moments in the careers of Owens and Ochocinco.

All three are among the NFL's most prolific active receivers. All will share the Lucas Oil Stadium stage this afternoon, Wayne serving as Manning's go-to man for the Colts (5-3) and Owens and Ochocinco trying to bring an end to a five-game losing streak that has the Cincinnati Bengals languishing at 2-6.

At some point this afternoon, Owens or Ochocinco likely will do something that, by his standards, requires a self-promotional reaction.

Like the sellout crowd, Wayne will be watching."
