The Colts edge the Chargers last night, 23-20, in a thriller. I think this Bob Kravitz column sums it up well:
"If you want to understand how and why the Colts won Sunday's game against the desperate Chargers, here are today's terms of the day: Intestinal fortitude. Guts. Or, as an old basketball coach used to call them, however indelicately . . . onions. Fourth-and-goal at the San Diego 1-yard line, the play clock running down, the score tied at 10 early in the third quarter, the Colts go for it . . . and Peyton Manning hits Dominic Rhodes in the end zone for a touchdown. Rhodes' spike was so emphatic, it's still skipping across Mission Bay."
Interestingly, if you look at what the Chargers had to say about this one after the game, you see their respect for Peyton Manning (which is shared by most opponents):
"Kaeding's field goal tied the score at 20-20, but left Peyton Manning 90 seconds to respond.“I told (Darren) Sproles, 'We gave him too much time,' ” Tomlinson said."
