| 34-16 win against the Cincinnati Bengals on December 18. The Colts started the season by reeling off nine straight victories before suffering a late season collapse by dropping four of their last six games to put into question the team's playoff seed. Back-to-back loses at Tennessee and Jacksonville to open the month of December left the San Diego Chargers in the top spot for home-field advantage and the Colts may have blown a chance at a first-round bye in the playoffs following Sunday's 27-24 loss in Houston. |

Merriman, who plays outside linebacker for the San Diego Chargers, has denied he's a steroid cheat and blamed his positive test on a tainted supplement. ``A performance-enhancing drug is, obviously, what it is,'' Taylor said. ``You enhance your performance by doing that.

No playoff team has started 2-7, and that's where the Titans were before reeling off this current streak. The pieces that must fall into place for the Titans to earn one of two AFC wild-card |
