| 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, S |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -At 5-foot-7, Maurice Drew should be accustomed to getting overlooked. He's not. It bothers him so much that the Jacksonville Jaguars running back wears No. 32 because that's how many teams passed on him in the NFL draft. So Drew plays with a chip on his shoulder, right? ``It's not a chip at all,'' he said. ``It's a big, ol' can of Pringles sitting right there on the left side.'' Drew wants to break stereotypes, prove people wrong and accomplish much more than Joe Morris, the 5-7 |

For dramatic effect, it's hard to top linebacker Steve Foley being shot three times by an off-duty police officer who suspected him of driving drunk. The Jacksonville Jaguars look like choirboys compared to that. Sure, they might drive their cars a bit fast and sometimes drink too much, but only three Jaguars have been arrested since the season began. Among them was left tackle Khalif Barnes, who made the rookie mistak |

When the third-ranked rushing offense in the NFL meets the league's worst run defense, it's pretty obvious what the game plan is going to be -- and the Jacksonville Jaguars were nearly perfect in their execution during a 44-17 annihilation of the Colts. "Those guys ran through us," said Colts head coach Tony Dungy after the Jaguars ripped apart the Indy defense to the tune of 375 yards on the ground. Jacksonville's rus |

A 27-10 victory over Oakland extended Cincinnati's winning streak and left the Bengals and the Jacksonville Jaguars in line for the two AFC wild card berths at 8-5. The offense is back in 2005 form, and the defense is setting club records every time out. ``We're on the way up,'' linebacker Brian Simmons said. ``We don't want to peak until Miami (the Super Bowl) |
