      Titans Fell Colts as Starters Sit

      Colts stars Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne played long enough last night to cement individual benchmarks for the season, and no more, the Indianapolis Star reports.

      Romo, Cowboys Lay Egg Against Feisty Eagles

      As his girlfriend Jessica Simpson looked on, Tony Romo and the flashy Dallas offense sputtered at home against Philadelphia in a 10-6 upset. Romo had three picks and a grisly 36% completion rate; Terrell Owens caught just two passes. The loss dropped Dallas to 12-2, ostensibly tied with Green Bay for NFC home-field advantage. In the AFC: More »

      Manning Outduels Garrard, 28-25

      David Garrard's late-game rally fell just short, and his Jaguars fell three games behind the Colts in the ferocious AFC South with four games to play.

      Colts are Thankful for Manning's Arm

      After blundering their way into a 10-0 hole, the Indianapolis Colts began to look more like the team that won last year's Superbowl. Surging to three touchdowns in the second quarter to get the Falcons on the run, the injury-plagued Colts finished up with a 31-13 win over Atlanta and on-again, off-again quarterback Joey Harrington, reports the Indianapolis Star .

      Flukey FG Gives Stunned Ravens 33-30 OT Loss

      Baltimore fans and players alike thought the game was over when Buffalo's last-second field goal bounced harmlessly off the crossbar, but after five minutes of zebra-striped deliberation a tie was announced. Phil Dawson's kick had gone through the uprights before ricocheting, and his next kick gave the Browns a 33-30 overtime win, reports the Baltimore Sun. Elsewhere in the AFC: More »

      Game Over for Colts Def. End Freeney?

      Though swelling so far has hindered a definitive diagnosis, a source told ESPN yesterday that Pro Bowler Dwight Freeney's left foot might prove to have a Lisfranc injury, requiring season ending surgery.  The defensive end suggested following Sunday's loss that the damage might have been caused when a Chargers blocker stepped on his foot.

      Indy's Stars Crumple in Clutch

      Drizzle and disbelief filled the air for most of the San Diego Chargers's 23-21 defeat of the Indianapolis Colts, the Indianapolis Star reports. Peyton Manning threw a career-worst six interceptions, yet managed to dig his team out of a 23-0 hole, only to be foiled when one of the most reliable right feet in football shanked a 29-yard field goal.

      Pats Take Super Bowl XLIS

      The Roman number for "1/2" is "S" and today's game between the Patriots and Colts, falling midway between Super Bowls XLI and XLII, had all the makings of a regular season title game. There were huge momentum swings, incredible individual plays, and a classic comeback by the road team over the defending Super Bowl champs. It all added up to a 24-20 win for the still-undefeated Patriots. More »
