| Indianapolis, IN (MySportsbook) - Adam Vinatieri kicked a 43-yard field goal as time expired and the Indianapolis Colts secured a No. 3 seed in the playoffs with a 23-20 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The Colts (10-6) captured their seventh AFC South title in eight years even before Peyton Manning turned a fumbled Titans snap into the brief game-winning drive. Jacksonville took care of that for Indy by losing 34-17 to Houston. The Colts will host the New York Jets next Saturday night in their ninth |

Running back Mike Hart, cornerback Kelvin Hayden, and defensive tackle Dan Muir also are inactive for Indianapolis. Hayden will miss his fourth straight game with a neck injury, Muir is out with a chest injury and Hart is out with an ankle injury. Other inactive Colts are defensive back Al Afalava a |

| ughly $847,000 in salary for the nine-year veteran during the four-game ban, and the basis of the upcoming appeal is that an arbitrator should overturn the suspension and order the Redskins to pay Haynesworth's full 2010 salary. According to the paper, Haynesworth's contract should pay him a base salary of $5.4 million -- which is not guaranteed. That is one factor in speculation that head coach Mike Shanahan will seek to either trade or release the former 2002 first-round draft choice of the Tennessee Titans. |

The fifth-year pro out of UCLA played through wrist, ankle and abdomen maladies during the first 14 games of the season and racked up 1,324 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 299 carries and added 34 receptions for 317 yards and a pair of scores. Jones-Drew missed last week's loss to Washington and will sit out the season finale Sunday against Houston. The Jags need to win their game and have the Tennessee Titans knock off Indianapolis to reach the playoffs. |

If Kansas City loses and the Indianapolis Colts defeat the Tennessee Titans, the Colts would be No. 3.

They'll try to tie that mark of nine playoff seasons in a row this Sunday with a win-and-in game versus the Tennessee Titans at Lucas Oil Stadium.

| NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Chris Johnson isn't afraid to let people know that he's had a pretty good season. Johnson's 2010 totals of 1,325 yards pales compared to last year's 2,006-yard season and is barely more than half of the 2,500-yard total the Tennessee Titans running back predicted for himself this preseason. Nonetheless, Johnson says he has had a pretty good year. ``I think everybody considered this season a failure for me. If any other back in the league had for 1,300 or 1,400 yards, they'd say he |

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The season has come down to this for the Tennessee Titans: They take the field for the final time as spoilers. The Titans didn't appear to show up at all when they still had the slimmest of playoff hopes left playing in Kansas City, and they found themselves blown out 34-14 by the Chiefs in a game where the only thing they won was the opening toss. Now the seventh loss in the past eight games has eliminated the Titans (6-9) from the playoffs for the fifth time in the past seven se |
