AFC South champs, without any drama

Nothing like an anticlimactic clinching of the AFC South to complete a rough stretch for the Colts. The Colts won 10 games, so it's not accurate to say they backed into the title, but since the clinching came with the Jags' loss to the Titans, it feels a little like it. I'm not sure this will have any real effect on the Monday Night Football game against Cincinnati tonight. The Colts have plenty of motivation just to prove they aren't as inept as they looked at Jacksonville.

"Everybody's going to be watching to see how we respond to our two-game skid," linebacker Cato June said. "We have to go out there and get the job done and not worry about what people are saying. ...It's Monday night, so you're always going to be up for that game."

Offensive tackle Tarik Glenn agrees.

"Monday Night Football is a national stage and there's a lot of hype to it," Glenn said. "We get to showcase what we've been doing in Indianapolis. The last couple weeks we haven't been doing too well, but this is a great opportunity for us to come into a playoff atmosphere and play some good football."

One bit of good news on the injury front: right tackle Ryan Diem (groin) was upgraded from questionable to probable on Sunday, as were running backs Joseph Addai (foot) and Dominic Rhodes (wrist) and wide receiver Aaron Moorehead (back).
