Defense and special teams won this football game for the Colts on Sunday Night.  Darren Sproles returned a kickoff 89 yards for a TD and a punt 45 yards for a TD……in the first quarter!  Antonio Cromartie led the way for the defense with 6 tackles and a amazing 3 interceptions!  Safety Clinton Hart (12 tackles, interception) and linebacker Matt Wilhelm (11 tackles, interception) both also had outstanding games for the Chargers defense.  The Colts finished up with 75 yards rushing on 26 carries (2.9 ypc) and they also completed 34 of 56 passes for 311 yards.

The Chargers offense was pretty awful as they only held onto the ball for 23:48 of this football game.  Philip Rivers had a night to forget as he completed 13 of 24 passes for 104 yards with 2 interceptions and he also lost a fumble that was recovered in the end zone by the Colts for a TD.  LaDainian Tomlinson got his work in as he carried the ball 21 times for 76 yards (3.6 ypc) with 1 TD run and he also caught 4 passes for 21 yards (5.3 avg).  TE Antonio Gates had a sub-par game also with only 3 catches for 26 yards (8.7 avg).  The Chargers finished up with 91 yards rushing on 24 carries (3.8 ypc) and they also completed 13 of 24 passes for 86 yards.
