| MA (Sportsbooks) - He may be just 22 years young, but Rob Gronkowski is fast becoming the best tight end in the NFL, if he's not already. Gronkowski caught two touchdown passes and ran for another score, as the New England Patriots beat the lowly Indianapolis Colts, 31-24, at Gillette Stadium. The 2010 second-rounder tied Vernon Davis (2009) and Antonio Gates (2004) for the league's single-season record for receiving touchdowns at his position with 13. Gronkowski appeared to surpass the mark in the third quart |

| (Sportsbooks) - In terms of suddenly-reduced luster, Sunday's clash between the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium may be the biggest NFL game of all time. When it came to AFC supremacy over the past decade, no matchup was more anticipated each season than Indianapolis against New England. In January of 2004, the teams met in the AFC Championship in Foxborough pitting the 12-4 Colts and the 14-2 Patriots. A year later, again in the playoffs, it was again the 12-4 Colts against the |

"X-ray and CT examination of the surgical area shows that the fusion performed in September has achieved firm fixation," said Dr. Robert Watkins in a statement issued following a conference call with Manning and Colts medical staff on Thursday.

| Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbooks) - Dan Orlovsky has seen this situation before. The newest Indianapolis Colts quarterback given the impossible assignment of filling the shoes (and brain) of Peyton Manning started seven games during the Detroit Lions' infamous 2008 season that produced the first 0-16 team in NFL history. He very well could be part of the second. The Colts cleared perhaps their largest hurdle to sealing a place in league infamy with last Sunday's 27-19 loss to a Carolina Panthers team that came i |

Wisconsin opened the season with six consecutive wins and certainly looked the part of a national title contender. Unfortunately for the Badgers, they fell to this very same Michigan State team in East Lansing by a thrilling 37-31 final back on October 22nd and followed that effort with a four-point |

Coyer had run the team's defense since 2009 when he was one of the first hirings by then new head coach Jim Caldwell. The Colts, who have yet to win a game this season, have the 29th-ranked defense in the league, allowing 389.4 yards and 29.7 points a game.

"Curtis Painter will not start this game, Dan Orlovsky will," Colts head coach Jim Caldwell said on Tuesday. "I think he's a guy that certainly is comfortable within the framework of the system. He' got a nice, strong arm, and we're anticipating that he's going to be accurate as well, and that's key. The big thing is, ob |

The Colts took over their own 28 with 3:09 to play and marched down the field. Faced with a 4th-and-5 from the 15, Austin Collie caught a 12-yard pass over the middle. Just two plays later, Curtis Painter's pass to Collie in the back of the end zone hit off the wide receiver's hands and set up an interception. Martin managed to catch the ball |
