INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The Indianapolis Colts hope to have safety Bob Sanders on the field Sunday against Buffalo even though he missed practice the last two days. Sanders has had soreness in his right knee since returning to the Colts' defensive lineup for the win over New England on Sunday that kept the Colts undefeated. He had missed five games after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. While a final decision on whether he'll play against the Bills hasn't been made, Sanders wants to be on the field. ``He |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The Indianapolis Colts are aware of the trap. At 8-0, on the verge of making NFL history and a heavy favorite at home against Buffalo, the NFL's last unbeaten team didn't even need a reminder about keeping focus this week. The Chicago Bears taught the Colts that lesson last week. ``Exactly. Chicago loses to a team that had one win coming in, and Miami has a lot of good players who made a lot of plays,'' two-time MVP Peyton Manning said. ``It's the same thing with Buffalo, they have Tak |

"It's not just the ninth (rib), but he also has cracks in the eighth and tenth ribs." Anthony Thomas is expected to replace McGahee in the Bills backfield. He had 95 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries against Green Bay. In other injury news for the Bills, wide receiver Josh Reed is also ruled out for Sunday game against the Indianapolis Colts with a bruised kidney that he suffered in Week 9's game. |

Brady was picked off four times in Sunday night's 27-20 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Ryan threw two interceptions in a 21-14 loss to Wake, but he also set career highs by completing 40-of-57 passes for 402 yards. ``We threw the ball a lot and we put up a lot of yards,'' Ryan said. ``But we didn't score points.'' --- REMEMBER |

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -Running back Willis McGahee is out indefinitely with three broken ribs, leaving the Bills without their best offensive threat against the Indianapolis Colts this weekend. Coach Dick Jauron on Wednesday ruled McGahee out, adding the player's injury is more severe than initially thought. Jauron said follow-up tests showed McGahee damaged three ribs in Buffalo's 24-10 win over Green Bay last weekend. McGahee was originally diagnosed with one broken rib and later tests showed breaks in |

Published reports citing unnamed league sources said Harrison suffered a broken shoulder blade in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. ``We all hope he'll be back out there soon,'' Belichick said, though he added there was no way to predict how long Harrison will be sidelined. It's the second significant injury in as many years for the 33-year-old Harrison. He went on injured |

You could say it was a desperation win for the Bills, who will now prepare for a showdown with the 8-0 Indianapolis Colts. Despite the offense's continued struggles, quarterback J.P. Losman should feel generally fantastic after Sunday's game. The oft-criticized signal caller was 8-of-15 for 102 yards with no interceptions, and fired a crucial 43-yard touchdown pass to |

The team is 6-2 so far and recently had a five-game winning streak halted by the now 8-0 Indianapolis Colts. That's a strong start to the year, but Broncos fans are thinking about the Super Bowl, and it's reasonable to question whether or not Plummer is a good enough QB to get this club to Miami in February.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -Bob Sanders watched his Indianapolis Colts teammates get run over for five weeks. The Pro Bowl safety couldn't bear seeing it again. So, he lobbied for a chance to play against New England on Sunday night. After convincing team doctors and coach Tony Dungy he could play with a solid pregame workout, Sanders helped Indianapolis produce one of its best defensive performances of the season in one of its most critical games. ``I was pretty sure he wasn't going to play, and he was pretty ad |
