| (MySportsbook) - The Indianapolis Colts have been a model of consistency ever since head coach Tony Dungy took over the helm in January 2002, having won at least 10 games every year since then. Indianapolis moved a game closer to its seventh straight playoff appearance with Sunday's 31-21 victory over the winless Detroit Lions at Lucas Oil Stadium. The game was more interesting than the score actually indicated, but the Colts were able to rely on backup running back Dominic Rhodes and extend their winning stre |

Detroit will be attempting to avoid becoming the first team in league history to start out with an 0-15 record in this Sunday's tilt at Ford Field, but did play the powerful Indianapolis Colts tough in a 31-21 loss this past weekend. The Lions have won their last three encounters with the Saints, although the teams haven't met since 2005. |

| Indianapolis, IN (MySportsbook) - Dominic Rhodes scored the second of his two touchdowns to snap a fourth-quarter tie, as the Indianapolis Colts downed Detroit, 31-21, and kept the Lions on their march toward infamy. The Lions (0-14) are the first team since the 1980 New Orleans Saints to lose the first 14 games of a season. Detroit's last two games are against New Orleans at home next Sunday and then on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field against Green Bay the last week of the season. Rhodes finished the game |

Die-hard fans of the Indianapolis Colts will remember - not all that long ago - when their team headed toward the season's third-to-last weekend with big things on its mind. The year was 2005 and the Colts - winners in their initial 13 games - had visions of Don Shula's pristine 1972 Miami Dolphins dancing in their pre- Christmas heads. Four quarters later...splat! A nine-point home loss to San Diego begat bad things for the boys from Indy, both by spoiling their run at South F |

Those previous two teams -- the 1992 Indianapolis Colts and the 1997 New York Jets -- both went 9-7 the following year. Miami, 4-3 at home this year, will also try to improve to four games above .500 for the first time since going 10-6 in 2003. All of this has come under first-year head coach Tony Sparan |

| Detroit, MI (MySportsbook) - Detroit Lions quarterback Daunte Culpepper has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts with a shoulder injury. Lions head coach Rod Marinelli said that Dan Orlovsky, who hasn't played since a Week 9 27-23 loss to Chicago due to a broken right thumb, will get the start under center for the 0-13 Lions. "I think as we watched practice today, we fell pretty good about Danny (Orlovsky)," Marinelli said. Culpepper, who strained his right shoulder in Sunday's 20-16 |
