SAN DIEGO -- Chargers coaches told Antonio Cromartie before Sunday's game against the Colts that he was going to have a career day in his first start at cornerback.
How right they were. Cromartie, coming off special-teams player of the week honors after having a 109-yard return of a missed field goal last week, intercepted three Peyton Manning passes and will probably be named defensive player of the week.
"I'm not covering Peyton Manning, my biggest thing is to cover the receiver,'' Cromartie said after San Diego's 23-21 win. "Some balls were underthrown. My biggest thing was getting my hands on it."
