Peyton Manning could barely stand to watch his infamous night -- 34 of 56 for 328 yards, two TDs and a career-high six interceptions. It was a box score as rare as an overcast, rainy day in San Diego. For the first time in his career, Manning threw six interceptions -- a Colts franchise record -- after never throwing more than four; and Vinatietri, who has made a career out of game-winning field goals, missed a 29-yarder that would have given Indianapolis an improbable lead after trailing 23-0 in the first half. After the game, Manning seemed flustered simply answering a reporter who asked if throwing to a new set of receivers was the reason for his poor performance. "Yeah, no, um, well, I take full responsibility for all of [the interceptions]," said Manning, whose six interceptions were the most thrown by an NFL quarterback since 2004. "They were poor throws or poor decisions, either one ... I've never thrown more than four [interceptions], so this would be a personal record." sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/arash_markazi/11/12/peyton.miscues/?eref=mostpop
