| Other candidates included former New York Giants coach Jim Fassel, Montana coach Bobby Hauck and San Diego Chargers assistant James Lofton. Harbaugh was a first-round pick by the Chicago Bears in 1987 and played 15 seasons in the NFL, leading the Indianapolis Colts to the 1995 AFC championship game. He was second in the MVP voting that season, leading the NFL with a 100.7 quarterback rating. ``The only thing I've heard is he's done a great job there and he would be a good guy to fill the position,'' said qua |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The Indianapolis Colts' leaky defense took another hit Monday night when their top three safeties were decativated against Cincinnati. Pro Bowl player Bob Sanders and Antoine Bethea, who had started 12 of the Colts' previous 13 games, were both out of the key AFC matchup. Sanders has missed five of six games with soreness in his right knee and has played in only two games since having arthroscopic surgery following a Week 2 victory over Houston. Bethea injured his shoulder during last |

Rob Bironas won that game with a 49-yard field goal, then made history against the Indianapolis Colts with a 60-yarder that was only the third in NFL history to win a game. That 20-17 victory included two interceptions of two-time MVP Peyton Manning. Jones and Young teamed again for the overtime thriller in Houston. Jones returned a kickoff 36 yar |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The Indianapolis Colts were the best regular-season team in football and the Cincinnati Bengals were AFC North champs last year. This year, both were expected to make a Super Bowl push. Instead, they're both looking for a late-season charge to get their playoff hopes back on track. ``It's better that way, not to be in a comfort zone where everything is already set in stone, but sort of clawing your way, digging your way out of this hole,'' Bengals receiver Chad Johnson said. ``Fighting f |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The Indianapolis Colts' defensive players have spent most of this season explaining what's wrong. On Monday night, against Cincinnati, they intend to show the football world they've fixed their problems. ``We've got to correct them,'' three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Dwight Freeney said. ``But I think it's bigger than proving something to the world - we've got to prove to each other what we can do.'' This week's discussion has focused primarily on the Colts' most glaring weakness: sto |

| (MySportsbook) - A smash-mouth, field position-defined contest is not likely to be on the menu at the RCA Dome Monday night, when the Indianapolis Colts play host to the Cincinnati Bengals in a battle of two of the league's best offenses - and shakiest defenses. The Colts are well known for their high-octane attack, which features principles such as quarterback Peyton Manning and wideouts Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne. But the big story emanating from Hoosier country at the moment is the poor work of a defe |

OVERALL ANALYSIS Earning the win which catapults a team into the playoffs can be very difficult to capture. Just ask the Indianapolis Colts, who are still searching for their AFC South title and a playoff berth, and the Seattle Seahawks, who have whiffed on two chances to take the NFC West. The Ravens shouldn't get too cocky against the Browns at home, but do have the defense to back up |
