Frank Gore cites energy drinks as reason for cramps vs. Bills

Frank Gore was nondescript in his Indianapolis Colts debut Sunday, and may have found a reason for his middling performance.
Gore fought off calf cramps during the 27-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills, rushing for 31 yards on eight carries. The veteran running back was targeted twice in the passing game but didn't record a reception.
It's entirely possible Gore will change his pre-game routine, telling Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star that he consumed too much "energy stuff."
Gore's in the middle of his 11th season, so it's possible he could be making remarks in jest as he prepares for his first campaign with the Colts.
