CINCINNATI (AP) -Pro Bowl receiver Chad Johnson smiled at the suggestion that the Cincinnati Bengals could use him as a tailback in their next game. Why not? The way teams have been running on the Indianapolis Colts' defense, there's almost no reason to throw. The Bengals (8-5) are next in line to try to exploit those big holes in the Colts' defense. They play at Indianapolis (10-3) on Monday night, a game that will have a big effect both teams' playoff outlook. Most likely, it will be decided more by Ru |

| Indianapolis, IN (MySportsbook) - The Indianapolis Colts placed Brandon Stokley on the injured reserve Thursday, officially ending the wide receiver's season. The eight-year veteran suffered an Achilles injury during a 44-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars this past Sunday. This is just the latest in a very frustrating season for Stokley, who missed nine of the first 11 games with ankle and knee injuries. As a result, he only accrued eight receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown in four games. For his career, |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -Indianapolis Colts receiver Brandon Stokley will miss the rest of the season after being placed on injured reserve Thursday. Stokley, part of the first trio in NFL history with 1,000 yards and 10 TDs in one season, injured his right Achilles' tendon Sunday at Jacksonville. He was moving from the slot position to make a block and before making contact crumbled to the ground, grasping at his right leg. The 30-year-old receiver was seen at the team's complex on crutches Thursday, but was no |

At 11-2, The Chargers now hold a one-game lead in the AFC over the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens and have the inside track for homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. A division title and a bye in the first round of the playoffs is always a goal for teams, but having the opportunity to play at home for the entirety of |

That's more than 12 yards a game more than the next-worst team in the conference, the Philadelphia Eagles. In the entire NFL, only the Indianapolis Colts' almost unbelievably inept run defense is worse. On Monday, after holding Chicago to 65 yards rushing in the first half, the Rams allowed a total of 172 yards net rushing.

In a preview of "UP NEXT," defensive tackle John Thornton lets us know you don't need to be a mathematician to understand how to beat the Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati's Monday night opponent this coming week. "That's what we're going to have to do," Thornton said. "Run the ball and keep the Colts offense off the field." Indianapolis yielded a pair of 100-plus yard rushers in the FIRST half last Sunday |

He rallied his side for a win against the New York Giants on November 26th, then did it the next week against the vaunted Indianapolis Colts. Granted, Rob Bironas kicked some amazing field goals to win those games, but this one was all Young. This week was also a little different, as the Titans actually held the lead late in the game. They were down four points, but Travis Henry barreled |

It's become a weekly refrain lately for the Indianapolis Colts' even-tempered coach. ``What we have to do is look at things, examine the breakdowns and improve,'' he said Monday. ``Fortunately, we have time to do that. If this was the last game of the season, it would be tougher.'' Still, the discussion aro |
