>>Colts Clash With Texans On "Thursday Night Football"

(Indianapolis, IN)  --  The AFC South champion Houston Texans head to Lucas Oil Stadium for a "Thursday Night Football" showdown with the Indianapolis Colts.  The Texans had a seven-game winning streak snapped with a 28-13 defeat at the hands of the Carolina Panthers in Week 15 to fall to 10-and-3 on the season.  With quarterbacks Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart both lost for the season due to injury, rookie T.J. Yates has stepped in and led Houston under center the past three games.  Two of the Texans' three losses this season have come on the road.  Meanwhile, Indianapolis put the winless season talk to rest after beating Tennessee, 27-13, on Sunday to pick up its first win of the season.  The victory marked the team's first win without quarterback Peyton Manning at the helm since 1997.  Manning has missed the entire year with a lingering neck injury.  Houston beat the Colts, 34-7, in Week One.

>>Bears To Start McCown Sunday Night At Green Bay

(Lake Forest, IL)  --  Josh McCown will be under center Sunday night when the Chicago Bears play the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.  He will start in place of the ineffective Caleb Hanie.  McCown was signed last month after starter Jay Cutler was lost to a season-ending thumb injury.  It will be McCown's first start since 2007.  The Bears have lost four straight with Hanie to fall to 7-and-7.
