The Indianapolis Colts have been one of the NFL's best road teams throughout Tony Dungy's five years as coach. Until recently, that is. After struggling in losses at Dallas and Tennessee, the Colts spent this week looking to rekindle their winning formula. ``We've just not played well in those games,'' cornerback Nick Harper said Thursday. ``When you watch the film, it's sad to see. It's not as bad as it ...

Jacksonville's injury-depleted defence suffered another setback Monday night when safety Donovin Darius broke his right leg against the New York Giants and was lost for the season. It's the second consecutive season that Darius' season ended early. He missed most of last year after tearing a ligament in his left knee. Darius fell to the ground and winced in pain during a 13-yard screen pass from Eli Manning to Tiki ...

Houston's beleaguered defence dominated and rookie running back Wali Lundy discovered the Texans' lost running game to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-7 on Sunday. Lundy, who hadn't played in the last three games, had 93 yards rushing and a touchdown early in the fourth quarter that extended the lead to 17-7. No Houston running back had gained 60 yards rushing before Sunday and the Texans managed just 34 yards rushing ...

Byron Leftwich's sore left ankle felt better Saturday, but the quarterback remained questionable for Jacksonville's game at Houston. Leftwich missed practice Friday, wore a protective boot and then had an MRI. Results showed ``nothing serious,'' team spokesman Dan Edwards said Saturday. Edwards said Leftwich was ``feeling a little bit better.'' The fourth-year starter was scheduled to fly with the team to Houston later in the day. Whether he plays against the Texans on Sunday will be a game-time decision. ...

Jets receiver Laveranues Coles bought 25 extra tickets for friends and family members to come see him play in his hometown. Maybe that's why he was upset with his lack of playing time. Coles finished with three catches for 19 yards in New York's 41-0 loss at Jacksonville and was clearly frustrated with his performance. ``I pretty much have no comment on things. I can only speak about what I ...

The Jacksonville Jaguars must have been in a hurry to end their two-game losing streak. The Jaguars scored touchdowns on four of their first five possessions, quickly rebounding from consecutive losses and beating the New York Jets 41-0 on Sunday. Maurice Drew ran for two touchdowns, Fred Taylor added another and Byron Leftwich capped the fast start with a 1-yard TD pass to George Wrighster. The Jets (2-3) provided plenty of help along the way. Chad Pennington threw two ...

New York Jets running back Cedric Houston was downgraded Saturday from doubtful to out with a left knee injury and did not accompany the team for its game at Jacksonville. Houston was injured last Sunday against Indianapolis when he ran the ball up the middle on third-and-goal from the Colts 2 with 5:18 left in the third quarter and was tackled by Dwight Freeney for no gain. The second-year back got up after a few minutes, ...

No need for Mark Brunell to gloat about beating his old team. His favourite receiver, Santana Moss, and the rest of the Washington Redskins offence did plenty to leave the Jacksonville Jaguars sufficiently embarrassed. Moss leaped between two defenders to catch a 68-yard touchdown pass 1:49 into overtime Sunday, the third time he left would-be tacklers behind on the way to the end zone, giving the Redskins a 36-30 victory ...

The Jaguars felt like they did enough good things to win at Indianapolis. They scored early, controlled the clock, stopped the run and limited big plays. They also admittedly did enough bad things to lose. Byron Leftwich threw two interceptions, Josh Scobee missed two field goals and the Jaguars allowed an 82-yard punt return for a touchdown. The result was a 21-14 loss that diminished Jacksonville's chances of unseating the ...

Peyton Manning said during training camp he hoped the Colts would have a lower profile to take off the pressure that heightened with each win in a 2005 season that started 13-0. No such luck. Two weeks after Peyton faced his brother in a much-hyped Sunday night opener, into Indy comes Jacksonville, fresh off stuffing Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh. And this is a lot more important in the standings than ...
