| Jacksonville, FL (Best E Casino) - The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed center Brad Meester on injured reserve because of a torn biceps muscle. Meester was hurt in the first half of last week's game against Cleveland, but finished the game. He was told this week that surgery would be necessary. Dennis Norman is expected to make his first NFL start this Sunday when the Jaguars welcome the undefeated Indianapolis Colts. Meester had started all 92 games in his career since the Jaguars selected him in the second roun |

The Browns, meanwhile, have dropped two straight games, including last week's 20-14 home loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rookie quarterback Charlie Frye started that game in place of the injured Trent Dilfer. Frye will get the start once again this week even though Dilfer is listed as probable.

So, with that bit of legend-prompting status staring them squarely in the face, the Colts enter their Week 14 meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars - incidentally, the last divisional foe to beat them - with the unique dilemma of doggedly pursuing collective immortality or feathering the nest for the hoped-for long playoff flight. Either way, the Jaguars present quite a challenge. Jacksonville |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Maybe rookie Khalif Barnes should be a little wary. After all, the Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle faces his toughest challenge of the season Sunday against the unbeaten Indianapolis Colts and speedy defensive end Dwight Freeney. Freeney has 9 1/2 sacks, 17 quarterback pressures and has been disruptive in every game, prompting numerous false start flags and several holding penalties. But Barnes is unfazed by the matchup. ``He doesn't intimidate me,'' said Barnes, a second-round |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - The last 12-0 team that came to the Sunshine State left with a loss. The Jacksonville Jaguars hope to make it two in a row Sunday against the unbeaten Indianapolis Colts. ``The pressure is more on them than it is on us,'' Jags linebacker Mike Peterson said. ``I'm pretty sure they're uptight, worrying about their 12-0 record and letting the division slip away.'' If so, the Colts aren't showing it. The Colts are one of only five NFL teams to start 12-0 and are getting flooded with |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Jacksonville Jaguars center Brad Meester will have season-ending surgery to repair a torn left biceps. Meester, who has started a franchise-record 92 consecutive games, injured the muscle Sunday at Cleveland. He stayed in the game, and tests later revealed the tear. Meester considered playing with the injury - and risking permanent damage - but decided Thursday to have surgery. Dennis Norman will replace Meester on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, becoming the sixth backup t |

For the past two seasons, the Jacksonville Jaguars have split with Indianapolis. They'll go for another split at home on Sunday, this time hoping to end the Colts' run toward an unbeaten season. So it's more than jargon when Tony Dungy says of Jacksonville: ``They've played us as well as anybody in the division, and they're as hot as anybody. We always play close games, so we're expecting a great game with a lot of intensity. It should be great for the NFL.'' True - the Jaguars have a legitimate sellout fo |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Most of the Jacksonville Jaguars have downplayed their matchup against the unbeaten Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, saying it's merely the next one on the schedule and it's important mostly because it's a division game. Defensive end Paul Spicer was refreshingly more candid. ``It's going to be a game for the ages around here,'' he said Wednesday. Indeed. The Jaguars have a complete sellout for just the second time in franchise history. They have a five-game winning streak and real |

| (Best E Casino) - The Cleveland Browns could not do anything wrong in the first half of their contest with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. However, they did not do much right in the second half and dropped a 20-14 decision to the Jags at Cleveland Browns Stadium. "There was some energy in the first half, and we made some plays and did some nice things," Browns coach Romeo Crennel said. "But in the second half we didn't do very well. And when you play like that, you lose games." Rookie Charlie Frye played well |
