    Indianapolis Colts DE Dwight Freeney rejected the suggestion by Philadelphia Eagles TE Brent Celek that he quit late in a 26-24 loss on Sunday. "That was kind of funny," Freeney said, via the Indianapolis Star. "The guy doesn't block me one-on-one, he has two other guys helping him or another guy helping, and he's talking trash after the fact. I wish I had heard some of that during the game, but I didn't hear it." Celek said after the game that he thought Freeney, a five-time Pro Bowler, had "kind of quit" because he was frustrated with effective blocking schemes the Eagles used to limit him during the game. Freeney had two tackles in the game. Freeney shrugged off the criticism. "It is what it is," he said. "Hats off to him and them. We'll probably see them again. Hopefully he blocks me one-on-one to see how it really feels. I don't think I quit, but it is what it is."
