INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- Peyton Manning connected with Marvin Harrison on three TDs and hit Reggie Wayne with an 18-yard touchdown pass Monday as Indianapolis beat Cincinnati, 34-16.

Manning was 29-of-36 for 282 yards as the Colts broke a two-game slide to improve to 11-3. Harrison had eight grabs for 86 yards and Wayne had seven catches for 84 yards as the Colts posted their fifth straight win over the Bengals.

Dwight Feeley had three sacks and forced three fumbles for a Colts defense that held Cincinnati 278 total yards at the RCA Dome.

The loss broke a four-game winning streak and dropped the Bengals record to 8-6 -- tied with the New York Jets, Jacksonville and Denver. Carson Palmer ended the contest 14-of-28 passing for 176 yards and Chad Johnson had just three catches for 37 yards.

The Bengals' loss gave the AFC North Division title to the Baltimore Ravens.
