Colts dump starters Antonio Cromartie, Sio Moore

The recent NFL tradition of heads rolling upon the losing team's return from London continued on Tuesday.

A pair of starters on Indianapolis' 30th-ranked scoring defense have lost their jobs.

The Colts released cornerback Antonio Cromartie and waived inside linebacker Sio Moore, the team announced.

Cromartie was signed in a late-August fit of desperation when starting cornerbacks Vontae Davis and Patrick Robinson each went down with injuries.

The 32-year-old cornerback was benched in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars after allowing a touchdown to star receiver Allen Robinson at London's Wembley Stadium.
