The Indianapolis Colts have been hit by the injury bug and hit hard, especially on the defensive side of the ball. With season ending injuries to key personnel including strong safety Bob Sanders and cornerback Marlin Jackson, the Colts have been forced to count on their rookie players to step up into the starting roles. WeÆll start at the corner position where rookie Jacob Lacey has been making a name for ...

The Indianapolis Colts look more like a walking M*A*S*H* unit lately in their secondary than an NFL team that found yet another way to get a big play from their defense to remain one of the NFLÆs last remaining unbeaten teams Sunday, as they knocked off their division rival the Houston Texans 20-17. Antoine Bethea forced Ryan Moats to fumble the ball on the Colts' one-yard line to give the Colts ...

158.3 is a perfect quarterback rating in the NFL. That was the rating for theáplayer who threw the go-ahead touchdown for the Colts. However, it was not Peyton Manning. Nope, it was running back (former high school quarterback) Joseph Addai. The first time a passing touchdown has been thrown by someone other than Manning in hisátenure in Indyásince Ken Dilger did itáin 2001. Another first for Peyton Manning also happened in this ...

Steeler NationùIs there a changing of the times in Pittsburgh this season? For years, when you thought of the Pittsburgh Steelers you thought of hardnosed, tough running teams of the past. Snap the ball, a cloud of dust and three yards down the field. Jerome Bettis pounding it into the end zone from 2-yards out. That famed Steeler defense shutting the other teams down late in games. But this season, the ...

The special teams hit the Carolina Panthers' Dante Wesley put on Tampa Bay Buccaneers punt returner Clifton Smith was one of the most brutal, cheap and unnecessary hits I have seen in a while in the NFL. The play took place in the second quarter of the Panthers' 28-21 win over the Bucs. Wesley, an excellent special teams player for the Panthers, lined up a devastating hit to Smith, who was looking ...

Upon further reviewà ItÆs officially time for the Titans, Raiders, Chiefs, Bills, Browns, Rams and Bucs to begin thinking of next season and try to forget this season all together. These teams have a combined record of 3-28. That is not a typo that says three wins to twenty eight losses people. ItÆs a battle now for the first overall pick in AprilÆs draft. The three wins go to the Bills, Browns ...

One year removed from offseason knee surgery and one of the worst starts in his professional career, Peyton Manning is back to his old masterful ways as the Colts are off to a 4-0 start in the 2009 NFL season. Victories, milestones, record-beating performances, clock-beating drivesùeven the teams that think they have the formula to beat the Colts cannot seem to outsmart or outperform the three-time NFL most valuable player. After last ...

"Upon Further Review" is my weekly column looking back at the week in the NFL: What happened, what didnÆt happen, who won, who lost, studs duds etc.á This is an opinion/statistical-based article and in no way reflects the opinions of Bleacher Report or its staff; this is all me here, folks. So without further adoà á Upon Further Review: I could not, in good conscious, start off this column without saying the Tennessee ...

So now Terrell Owens feels as though he is being baited by the media. Really, T.O.? LetÆs take a look at this just a little closer, shall we? The new Bills wide receiverùafter offering upáwhat could onlyábe described as sarcastic junior high playground type answers to the media as if he had been provoked into not answering questions about cheating on an testùwent on the "Two Live Stews" radio show and said ...

The Indianapolis Colts found out what they feared might be the news on their all pro defensive end Dwight Freeney. Doctors are expecting Freeney to miss two to three weeks with a strained quadriceps they reported on Tuesday morning. In the past, Freeney has been known as of somewhat of a fast healer. But if the doctors are correct, the defensive end would miss the Colts' next two games against the ...
