Of course, he threw the ball well." Up next is either the Colts or San Diego Chargers next Sunday at Gillette Stadium. Indianapolis beat the Patriots in the conference championship game a year ago.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -Antonio Gates' limp suggested that he's going to have a hard time playing Sunday when his San Diego Chargers face the Indianapolis Colts in a divisional round playoff game. But with two days left to treat his dislocated left big toe, the star tight end said the decision whether he plays will be made Sunday morning. ``It's definitely going to be a game-time decision,'' Gates said Thursday after missing his second straight day of practice. ``I'm not going to make any decisions before that.

| IN (Best E Casino) - Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison, an eight-time Pro Bowler who has not played since mid-October, practiced both Wednesday and Thursday and is expected to start in Sunday's AFC Divisional playoff matchup with the San Diego Chargers. Harrison has been out since October 22 with a knee injury, and though Colts head coach Tony Dungy wouldn't guarantee anything, it seems likely the 12-year veteran will be in Indianapolis' lineup against the Chargers.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -It's amazing what a three-interception night against Peyton Manning will do for a player's reputation. Just check out Antonio Cromartie of the San Diego Chargers. In barely more than one quarter on Nov. 11, Cromartie went from being a promising but raw nickel back to beginning the transformation to All-Pro cornerback. Those three picks included a spectacular one-handed grab. Cromartie accounted for half of Manning's franchise-record six interceptions that rainy night, when the Colts were |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -While Pro Bowler Antonio Gates rehabbed his dislocated left big toe, All-Pro fullback Lorenzo Neal returned to practice for the San Diego Chargers exactly one month after breaking his lower left leg. It appeared Wednesday that Neal has a better chance than Gates of suiting up for the Chargers in their divisional-round playoff game Sunday at Indianapolis. Gates dislocated his left big toe late in the second quarter of Sunday's 17-6 wild-card win against Tennessee and didn't return. He wasn't |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -It was so unlike Norv Turner. In the closing minutes of the San Diego Chargers' 17-6 playoff win over the Tennessee Titans, their head coach did a little salsa on the sideline. It didn't last long and it wasn't pretty. He said he was mimicking defensive end Luis Castillo's sack dance. ``You used to be able to do things on the sideline and no one could get you,'' Turner said. ``Now they're going to get you, so I'll refrain from doing that again.
