James does have something Hightower doesn't, and that is 157 postseason carries. All of those came with the Indianapolis Colts, with James notching 616 yards in nine playoff games. There may have also been some method to head coach Ken Whisenhunt's madness in benching James. Seeing a bulk of work in Sunday's season finale versus the Seattle Seahawks, James ran for 100 yards |

Meanwhile, Jacksonville is still trying to recover from last week's 31-24 setback versus the Indianapolis Colts, in which the club allowed 17 points in the fourth quarter. It seems the Jaguars figured they could just show up and win this season after such a successful 2007 campaign, but the tables were turned on head coach Jack Del Rio, quarterback David Garr |

This season-ending showdown between the AFC South's top two teams once had the potential for colossal implications, but fans in attendance at Lucas Oil Stadium this weekend will likely be witnessing the equivalent of a preseason tune-up between two postseason-bound clubs.

But the Tennessee Titans' 31-14 pounding of the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday assures that the Titans (13-2) will be the No. 1 seed in the AFC Playoffs, and their Week 17 opponent - the Indianapolis Colts (11-4) - locked up the top Wild Card position with their Thursday night win over the Jaguars. That means lots of Jim Sorgi and Vince Young at Lucas Oil Stadium next Sunday, and lots of remote controls avoiding Titans/Colts on the Sunday Ticket menu. |
