Meanwhile, Jacksonville is still trying to recover from last week's 31-24 setback versus the Indianapolis Colts, in which the club allowed 17 points in the fourth quarter. It seems the Jaguars figured they could just show up and win this season after such a successful 2007 campaign, but the tables were turned on head coach Jack Del Rio, quarterback David Garr |

| New York, NY (MySportsbook) - Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Leon Hall and Baltimore Ravens punter Sam Koch have been selected as the AFC's top players for Week 16 of the NFL season.

But the Tennessee Titans' 31-14 pounding of the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday assures that the Titans (13-2) will be the No. 1 seed in the AFC Playoffs, and their Week 17 opponent - the Indianapolis Colts (11-4) - locked up the top Wild Card position with their Thursday night win over the Jaguars. That means lots of Jim Sorgi and Vince Young at Lucas Oil Stadium next Sunday, and lots of remote controls avoiding Titans/Colts on the Sunday Ticket menu. |

Cincinnati got off to a good start in defending Lewis' claim by scoring its most points since a 21-19 triumph versus Jacksonville on November 2.
