CBS News Thursday, October 08, 2009More passes coming Bailey's wayThe bully on the corner for so long, Champ Bailey is now the one getting picked on. Maybe it's his advancing age - 31 - or that he's coming off a groin injury that cost him half of last season and ended his Pro Bowl streak at eight. Whatever the reason, the Denver Broncos cornerback has seen his workload increase this season as opposing quarterbacks go after him. All Bailey can say is, well, thanks. "That only gives me chances to make plays," Bailey said with a smile Wednesday. Bailey certainly made plenty of plays in a 17-10 win over Dallas last weekend that kept the Broncos undefeated. He intercepted a pass from Tony Romo at the Denver 6 and swatted down four passes, including two on back-to-back plays in the end zone in the waning seconds.
