Colts Clobber Jags; Bears Host Texans; Pack Off

>>Colts Clobber Hapless Jaguars

(Jacksonville, FL) -- Andrew Luck had a pair of rushing touchdowns as the Colts clobbered the hapless Jaguars, 27-10, on "Thursday Night Football." Luck passed for 227 yards and an interception for the Colts, who have won three straight to move to 6-and-3. Darius Butler returned an interception 11 yards for a touchdown in the victory. Jacksonville's Cecil Shorts caught a touchdown pass from Chad Henne after starting quarterback Blaine Gabbert was knocked out with a shoulder injury. The Jags had 10 penalties for 115 yards en route to falling to 1-and-8.

>>Bears' Tillman Expected To Play Sunday Night

Chicago Bears star cornerback Charles Tillman says on Twitter that he will play Sunday against the Houston Texans, after all.

Tillman's status had been up in the air after he told Chicago radio station WSCR-AM that he might not be available because his wife, Jackie, is due to give birth.

But in a message to ESPN Radio's "Mike & Mike In The Morning" show, he wrote "god, family, football... Baby is coming Monday don't worry I'll be there Sunday."

This will be the couple's fourth child. Their daughter, Tiana, needed a heart transplant a few months after she was born in 2008.

>>Texans Take On Bears In Battle Of 7-and-1 Teams

(Chicago, IL) -- Week 10's marquee matchup takes place in Chicago as the Houston Texans battle the Bears Sunday night at Soldier Field. Both teams are 7-and-1 on the season. The Texans beat Buffalo last week and have won two straight since their lone loss of the season in Week Six against Green Bay. This begins a stretch of four road games in five weeks for Houston. The Bears put up a season-high 51 points in a 51-20 trouncing of Tennessee in Week Nine. Brandon Marshall had three TD catches and Chicago also returned an interception and blocked punt for scores. The Bears are 4-and-0 at home this season. Their lone loss was a 23-10 road setback to the Packers in Week Two.

>>Rams Look For Rare Road Win Against 49ers

(San Francisco, CA) -- The St. Louis Rams head west to face off with the San Francisco 49ers Sunday at Candlestick Park. The Rams are coming off their bye and looking to regroup after getting drubbed 45-7 by the Patriots in London in Week Eight. After a 3-and-2 start, the Rams have lost three in-a-row to fall to 3-and-5. The 49ers are also coming off their bye week. San Francisco was a 24-3 winner at Arizona in Week Eight and has won four-of-five overall to lead the NFC West at 6-and-2. The Niners will try to avoid looking ahead to next week's home game against 7-and-1 Chicago. San Fran has won seven of the last eight meetings and hasn't lost at home to the Rams since 2007.
