Peyton Manning Not Blamed by Colts Teammates, Coaches for Patriots Loss

Filed under: Colts, AFC South

INDIANAPOLIS -- Quarterback Peyton Manning was very ready to accept blame for the Indianapolis Colts' loss to the New England Patriots.

His teammates and coaches saw it differently.

Manning, who was pointed in accepting blame for a 31-28 loss to the Patriots Sunday, threw three interceptions in the game and later called the result "sickening."

"That's part of football," linebacker Tyjuan Hagler told the Associated Press Monday, adding, "We lost the game as a team, and, you know, he's won a million of them for us."

Manning last season rallied the Colts to an NFL-record seven fourth-quarter victories, including a 35-34 win over the Patriots in which the Colts trailed 31-14 in the fourth quarter.
