INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The Indianapolis Colts have been one of the NFL's best road teams throughout Tony Dungy's five years as coach. Until recently, that is. After struggling in losses at Dallas and Tennessee, the Colts spent this week looking to rekindle their winning formula. ``We've just not played well in those games,'' cornerback Nick Harper said Thursday. ``When you watch the film, it's sad to see. It's not as bad as it looks, it's just one or two guys being one or two steps off. We've got to get bett |

Furrey walked-on at Ohio State in 1995, then played for three seasons at Division I-AA Northern Iowa. The undrafted free agent was cut by the Indianapolis Colts at the end of training camp in 2000, then played for the XFL's Las Vegas Outlaws the next year. The Jets took a look at him during the 2002 preseason and he ended up staying in the area to play for the AFL's New York Dragons. Martz gave him a shot |

He's only the third whose kick won a game, in this case, 20-17 over the rarely beaten Indianapolis Colts. If you're still waiting to talk personally to Bironas, be patient. He was working his way through the messages Wednesday. ``This is one of those moments that doesn't happen ... just because of field position. It's a last-minute kick. Most coach |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The Indianapolis Colts blew one opportunity to clinch the AFC South title, so they'd like to wrap it up this week. ``You definitely don't want it lingering for a couple of weeks,'' middle linebacker Gary Brackett said. ``When you get a chance to win the division, that's what you want to do.'' For the second straight year, the Colts (10-2) head to Jacksonville in December with a chance for the division title. Indy rarely needs second chances. Over the past 2 1/2 seasons, Indianapolis (1 |

| . UP NEXT The Texans get their second look at rookie quarterback Vince Young as the Tennessee Titans come to Houston this Sunday. Young, who many fans wanted to see Houston draft first overall in last April's draft, has guided the Titans to a 5-7 record this season. Tennessee has already defeated the Texans, 28-22, earlier this year at the end of October and owns a 7-2 advantage in the all-time series. The Titans are coming off an impressive 20-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, and have won three straight. |

| (MySportsbook) - One week ago, the Vince Young era officially arrived, as the No. 3 pick in last year's NFL Draft guided his team to an amazing, fourth- quarter comeback against the New York Giants. This week, the Indianapolis Colts came to town, and it wasn't just Young who arrived, the whole Tennessee Titans squad showcased their abilities to a national television audience. Once again, it was Rob Bironas, this time from 60 yards out with the game- winning field goal. The Titans shocked the Colts, 20-17 and s |

The school's all-time leader in receptions (109) and yards (1,293) by a tight end, passing Ben Utecht who now plays for the Indianapolis Colts, Spaeth is supposed to need four months to fully recover from the surgery and two months before he can start running.

But no matter, Fletcher was on point with his comments, and the Bills are headed nowhere again. Quarterback J.P.

He is just the second player to do that in league history next to Eric Dickerson, who achieved the feat from 1983-89 with the Los Angeles Rams and Indianapolis Colts. Prior to this season, Tomlinson pointed to reaching the 2,000-yard mark as one of his goals for the season. That's a long shot, but it is still within his range. L.T. needs 676 yards in his final four games, or an average of 169 yards per contest. |
