It's almost certain that the Bills will miss the playoffs again, and haven't participated in the postseason since being victimized by the Music City Miracle against the Tennessee Titans on January 8, 2000. Bills linebacker London Fletcher said it best after Sunday's loss against San Diego. "It tells me we're not there yet, we're not good enough yet," Fletcher said.

| and we're geared for it." The problem with Jacksonville winning out is that it still has a tough schedule the rest of the way. They have home games against two of the AFC's elite in Indianapolis and New England, and will travel to face the resurgent Tennessee Titans and the Kansas City Chiefs, one of the toughest homefield clubs in the NFL. The way the NFL has played out this year, the Jags are not the only team that has to battle inconsistency, so it might not even take a 4-0 finish to make the postseason. But |

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -It's as close to ``I told you so'' as Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher will ever get. Fans wanted him fired. His owner wouldn't give him a vote of confidence. And the once-dominant franchise turned doormat hit its lowest point with suspensions and off-field issues to complement an 0-5 start. And now? The Titans (5-7) are one of the NFL's hottest teams, winners of five of seven, with the last two featuring riveting comebacks. The playoffs, which seemed at least two years away, s |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -When Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney chases Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young this weekend, he'll have plenty of doubts about how aggressive he can be. The attention given to New York Giants defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka after he pulled away from a potential fourth-quarter sack of Young during a 24-21 loss to the Titans last week reminds Freeney of his own missed sack. Freeney says he was closing on Patriots quarterback Tom Brady on Nov. 5 when, hoping to avoid a penalty fla |
