Peyton Manning threw a career-high (and franchise record) six interceptions and Adam Vinatieri missed a 29-yard field goal with 1:31 left as San Diego defeated Indianapolis 23-31 last night in California. It was the second straight loss for the Colts after losing 24-20 in their highly-anticipated matchup with the undefeated Patriots last week.
The shorthanded Colts were missing Marvin Harrison and Dallas Clark, among others, and Dwight Freeney left with a leg injury in the fourth quarter.
This game was so ugly that I turned it off in the first quarter and started playing “Guitar Hero“. I’ve never seen a Manning not named Eli play this poorly. His performance was cringe-inducing, but also rather funny in a twisted way, much like dead baby jokes.What’s small and red and can’t turn corners? A baby with a javelin through its head. How do you make a dead baby float? Take your foot off of its head.
