The Colts public relations staff of Steve Campbell, Matt Conti, Christian Edwards, Pamela Humphrey and interns Hayden Clark and Kaila Lewis won the 31st Rozelle Award. The Colts public relations staff also won this award in 1996.

They were nominated for how they helped both local and national media get access, especially with the unexpected retirement of quarterback Andrew Luck before the season.

“The news broke in the second half of a preseason game the night before the presser was originally scheduled,” said Mike Wells, the Indianapolis PFWA chapter vice president.

“But just like the demeanor of general manager Chris Ballard and coach Frank Reich, the Colts PR staff didn’t get rattled. They put together a press conference that night at Lucas Oil Stadium that featured Luck, Reich, Ballard and owner Jim Irsay. It ran so smoothly that you would have thought it was scheduled for that night.”

Other nominees for the Rozelle Award were the Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Colts general manager Chris Ballard also

from the PFWA for his cooperation with the media.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Oakland Raiders
When: 4:05 PM ET, Saturday, December 24, 2016
Where: Oakland Coliseum, Oakland, California

TV: 4:05 PM
LINE: -3
PREDICTION: OAKLAND , INDIANAPOLIS

Oddsmakers currently have the OAKLAND listed as -3 point favorites versus the INDIANAPOLIS, while the game’s total is sitting at 53.

The Oakland Raiders clinched an AFC playoff spot and are focused on earning a first-round bye.

The Indianapolis Colts are in a precarious position and could miss out on the postseason for the second year in a row.

Yet the Colts have thrived on the road and seek their fifth straight victory on enemy soil as they attempt to save their season when they visit the Raiders on Saturday (4:05 p.m. ET, CBS).

Indianapolis (7-7) sits one game behind the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans in the AFC South and is two games behind the Miami Dolphins in the wild-card derby. But the Colts’ chances to win the division or claim a wild-card are exceptionally bleak.

In the AFC South, Indianapolis must win both its last two games to have a chance. The Colts would need the Texans to lose their last two contests — including one against the Titans — and have Tennessee lose Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Miami Dolphins (9-5) currently possess the last AFC wild-card spot and the Colts would need the Dolphins, Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens to all lose their final two games.

Of course, beating Oakland (11-3) might be the biggest hurdle of them all.

“It’s sort of a one-game season for us,” Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck said. “I know from our perspective as an offense they’re a really good defensive unit. They force turnovers, they’ve got good edge rushers and they’ve got good cover guys. It will be a great challenge.”

Luck is bothered by minor shoulder and thumb injures and doesn’t expect to be hindered on game day.

In fact, Luck (3,631 yards, 27 touchdowns) is likely the healthier of the two starting quarterbacks.

Oakland star Derek Carr is playing with an injured right pinkie finger that has affected his play.

Carr is enjoying an MVP-caliber season with 3,705 yards and 25 touchdown passes against just six interceptions but he is just 36-of-71 passing for 330 yards over the past two games. A telling sign is that the Raiders’ offense is also operating nearly exclusively out of the shotgun to prevent the center snap exchange from irritating Carr’s injured finger.

“We’re doing the best we can to put us in the best position to win,” offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said. “Since Derek hurt his finger, we’re 3-1. We want to keep winning these games and one of the factors in winning these games is ball security. That’s a real vital issue.

“As we know the pinkie and the thumb are really your locking mechanisms to hold onto a football and so when you got a pinkie or a thumb that’s injured, you just have to be as smart as you can to secure that football, because that’s important to the way that we win these games. That relates to everybody, not just the Raiders.”

Carr has re-energized the Raiders and last Sunday’s win in San Diego clinched the team’s first playoff berth in 14 years. Oakland has the second-best record in the AFC behind the New England Patriots (12-2) and also holds a one-game lead in the AFC West over the Kansas City Chiefs (10-4).

Carr was one of seven Raiders named to the Pro Bowl on Tuesday. The other selections were defensive end Khalil Mack, safety Reggie Nelson, receiver Amari Cooper and three members of the offensive line — center Rodney Hudson, left guard Kelechi Osemele and left tackle Donald Penn.

The Colts garnered just two selections in receiver T.Y. Hilton and punter Pat McAfee as Luck was passed over.

Hilton ranks second in the NFL in receiving yardage (1,248 yards) and has caught 81 passes.

Indianapolis running back Frank Gore needs 109 yards over the final two games to become the first Colts’ player since Joseph Addai (1,072 in 2007) to reach 1,000 rushing yards. Gore, who is in his second season with Indianapolis, topped 1,000 yards eight times during his 10-year tenure with the San Francisco 49ers.

“Some guys have just been able to prolong their careers and play at a high level, and he’s one of those guys,” Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said of Gore. “Really talented. Has a great nose for that yard, that hidden yard. He knows how to make people miss. He knows how to run behind his blocks. I think he’s a really good player. That’s why he’s been a good player for a long time.

“The other part is he looks fresh. His feet, his legs, he doesn’t look like an older back late in the year.”

A productive day by Gore could slow the Oakland pass rush headed by Mack. He had a streak of eight consecutive games with at least one sack halted against the Chargers last Sunday and has 11 sacks on the season.

Nelson has four interceptions and his 34 picks since 2007 are most in the NFL.

Colts coach Chuck Pagano is well aware of the Oakland talent and knows it will be one big task to keep his team’s season alive.

“We know their record, it speaks for itself,” Pagano said. “It’s a confident team, very aggressive in all three phases and they’ve learned how to win. They’re playing with a great deal of confidence.”

Indianapolis Colts vs. Minnesota Vikings
When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, December 18, 2016
Where: U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, Minnesota

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS.
LINE: Vikings -4.
O/U: 45.5
PREDICTION: Vikings 20, Colts 17

Oddsmakers currently have the Vikings listed as 4½-point favorites versus the Colts, while the game’s total is sitting at 45½.

MINNEAPOLIS — Tickets to see the Minnesota Vikings in their new home this season have been expensive. On Sunday when the Indianapolis Colts make their first visit to U.S. Bank Stadium, ticket buyers will be treated to a bunch of desperate playoff scenarios for free.

Both the Vikings (7-6) and the Colts (6-7) are clinging to hopes that they will be playing after Jan. 1, and both are going to need a win on Sunday — and plenty of help — to get it done.

It’s also billed as a meeting between two No. 1 overall NFL draft picks with Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford (the top pick in 2010) facing Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (the top pick in 2012).

The injury bug seems determined to take a bit of the shine off that showdown. Luck missed practice on Wednesday with a sore shoulder and elbow on his throwing arm — leftover ailments from the Colts’ loss to the Houston Texans last weekend in which he was sacked just once but hit on more than a dozen occasions.

“I didn’t feel as good after that game as you would like,” Luck said Wednesday. “December football. Nobody feels like they want to at this point. You just make sure you are ready to go on Sunday.”

Bradford will also be ready to go on Sunday and practiced Wednesday but was limited by a sore shoulder. But for the Vikings, Wednesday was more about one player that was back at practice and less about those that are missing.

Star running back Adrian Peterson, who has been out with a knee injury since the third quarter of Minnesota’s Week 2 win over Green Bay, practiced with the team and offered an immediate emotional lift, although nobody has yet said he will be in uniform on Sunday.

“It was great to see him out here in the walk-through today,” Bradford said. “I think he’s just one of those guys, he has been a leader on this team. Obviously, he’s one of the best players in this league, and he has been for quite some time. So I think just having him back out at practice in the huddle, I think it’s a definite lift to our guys.”

The possible re-emergence of Minnesota’s running game could hardly come at a better time for the Vikings, who won in Jacksonville last weekend despite getting stuffed on the goal line twice and ending up with zero points in two trips to the 1-yard line.

Defensive-minded Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said he’s just as focused on stopping the Colts’ running game and speed at receiver.

“They have the eighth-best rusher in NFL history. So that’s kind of a challenge. Frank Gore is a terrific back,” Zimmer said. “They’ve got tremendous skill, speed with (Donte) Moncrief and (T.Y.) Hilton obviously. They’ve got great speed.

“They’ve got two decent tight ends. One’s a second-leading receiver (Jack Doyle) and defensively the 3-4 stuff. We’ve been in a little bit of a 4-3 mode the last couple of weeks. So we’ve got to get back to the 3-4 and the things we do there and changing some of that up.”

Sitting third in the AFC South behind Houston and Tennessee, Indianapolis is in must-win mode and could be eliminated Sunday if it loses and the Texans and Titans both win. The Colts have won their last three road games but know a unique challenge awaits inside Minnesota’s new stadium, which is notoriously noisy.

“We’ve got to go on the road in a hostile environment, in a new venue,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. “We understand the elements and the noise and all that other stuff that we have to deal with, that our offense has to deal with. We’re trying to do the best we can to replicate that and put them under as much duress as we can.”

The Vikings, who started 5-0 and have gone just 2-6 since then, cannot be mathematically eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday but would face long, long odds with a loss. They close the season with divisional games at Green Bay on Christmas Eve and at home against Chicago on New Year’s Day.

Houston Texans vs. Indianapolis Colts
When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Indiana

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Colts -6. O/U: 46.5
PREDICTION: Colts 24, Texans 17

Oddsmakers currently have the Colts listed as 6-point favorites versus the Texans, while the game’s total is sitting at 46.5.

ABOUT THE TEXANS (6-6): Osweiler is 31st in the NFL among 32 qualified quarterbacks with a 74.2 rating and is last in yards per attempt at 5.77, but coach Bill O’Brien put the team’s struggles on himself after a 21-13 loss at Green Bay last week. “It comes down to eight to 10 plays a game, and a lot of that has to do with coaching,” O’Brien told reporters. “We have to do a better job coaching and players have to do a better job executing, but we’re all in it together and we all have to do a better job.” Houston’s defense has carried the team most of the season but is starting to spring leaks with defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (wrist/elbow) and cornerback Johnathan Joseph (ribs) sitting out practice this week.

Houston Stats:
Team record: 6-6 SU,5-6-1 ATS
Current Streak: lost 3 straight games.
Houston is 2-5-1 ATS in its last 8 games
Houston is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Houston’s last 6 games

ABOUT THE COLTS (6-6): Luck and the offense could be asked to do even more down the stretch with the defense losing middle linebacker D’Qwell Jackson to a four-game suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs. Jackson, who is the signal-caller on defense and has recorded 78 tackles and a sack this season, is not eligible to return to the team until the day after the end of the regular season. “We’re all disappointed,” coach Chuck Pagano told reporters. “It is what it is. Moving forward, if we’re fortunate enough to play good enough and win enough games, we’ll get him back for the playoffs.”

Last time out for Indianapolis, they were a 41-10 winner as they battled the Jets on the road. The Colts covered in the match as a +1.5-point underdog, while 51 combined points moved the game OVER for totals bettors.

Indianapolis Stats:
Team record: 6-6 SU,6-5-1 ATS
The total has gone OVER in 8 of Indianapolis’s last 12 games
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Indianapolis’s last 5 games at home
Indianapolis is 19-6 SU in its last 25 games when playing Houston

EXTRA POINTS
1. Colts rookie LB Antonio Morrison is expected to start in place of Jackson.
2. Houston WR Braxton Miller (shoulder) sat out practice on Wednesday and is questionable.
3. Osweiler threw for 269 yards and two TDs in a 26-23 overtime home win over Indianapolis in Week 6.

Indianapolis Colts vs New York Jets

Where: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN.
LINE: Colts -1.5. O/U: 48.5
PREDICTION: Colts 28, Jets 17

Oddsmakers currently have the Colts listed as 2-point favorites versus the Jets, while the game’s total is sitting at 48½.

Brandon Marshall reeled in his first touchdown reception since Oct. 9 on Sunday and looks to continue to torment the Colts, against whom he has 37 catches for 420 yards and four scores in his last three meetings. The veteran wideout is expected to be matched up against former Dolphins teammate Vontae Davis despite nursing knee and foot injuries that have prevented him from practicing on Thursday and Friday. New York could also look to exploit Indianapolis’ 23rd-ranked run defense (116.3 yards per game) with veteran Matt Forte, who has amassed 508 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns (four rushing, one receiving) in the past five contests.

In their last action, New York was a 22-17 loser at home against the Patriots. They covered the +9.5-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (39) was profitable news for UNDER bettors.

New York Stats:
Team record: 3-8 SU,4-6-1 ATS
Current Streak: lost 3 straight games.
NY Jets is 3-6 ATS in its last 9 games
NY Jets is 2-7 SU in its last 9 games
NY Jets is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games at home

Luck’s most trusted target is T.Y. Hilton (NFL fifth-best 942 receiving yards), and the elusive wideout is expected to play on Monday despite sustaining a back injury against the Steelers. Wide receiver Donte Moncrief reeled in a season high-tying six receptions last week and scored in his fourth straight game, although his yardage total (178) in that span doesn’t jump off the page. Veteran Frank Gore has struggled in each of the last two games with just 78 yards on 33 carries, but the 33-year-old needs just 30 yards rushing to move past Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett (12,739) for eighth on the NFL’s all-time list.

Last time out for Indianapolis, they were a 28-7 loser as they battled the Steelers at home. The Colts failed to cover in the match as a +8-point underdog, while 35 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.

Indianapolis Stats:
Team record: 5-6 SU,5-5-1 ATS
The total has gone OVER in 8 of Indianapolis’s last 12 games

LINE: Titans -2.5. O/U: 48.
PREDICTION: Titans 27, Colts 20

Oddsmakers currently have the Titans listed as 1½-point favorites versus the Colts, while the game’s total is sitting at 49.

Mariota still has a tendency to turn the ball over as he has thrown six picks and lost two fumbles for the Titans, who haven’t won three straight games since the 2011 season. Tennessee has six sacks in each of the last two games and will certainly attempt to pressure Luck, led by Brian Orakpo, who has at least one sack in five straight games. Titans coach Mike Mularkey gave the credit to veteran defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau for their recent success in attacking the quarterback. “There’s a lot of moving parts. There’s a lot of pre-snap disguising. That’s the beauty of coach LeBeau,” he said. Last time out for Tennessee, they were a 28-26 winner as they battled the Browns at home. The Titans failed to cover in the match as a -7.5-point favorite, while 54 combined points moved the game OVER for totals bettors.

Team record: 3-3 SU,2-4 ATS
Tennessee is 2-11-1 ATS in its last 14 games
Tennessee is 5-16 SU in its last 21 games
The total has gone OVER in 7 of Tennessee’s last 9 games

The Colts have not only won nine straight in the series but they’ve scored at least 27 points in six of the games. Things may not be as easy this week, however, as the Titans run a ball-control offense and Indianapolis will be without wide receiver Donte Moncrief (shoulder) and tight end Dwayne Allen (ankle). Running back Frank Gore rushed for 106 yards in last week’s game, marking the first time in 55 contests that the Colts had a 100-yard rusher. Last time out for Indianapolis, they were a 26-23 loser as they battled the Texans on the road. The Colts earned a push in the match as a +3-point underdog, while 49 combined points moved the game OVER for totals bettors.

Team record: 2-4 SU,2-3-1 ATS
Indianapolis is 2-3-1 ATS in its last 6 games

Oddsmakers currently have the Colts listed as 1½-point favorites versus the Texans, while the game’s total is sitting at 45.

Mallett was benched in favor of Hoyer during last week’s 48-21 loss at Atlanta after completing 12-of-27 passes for a season-low 150 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. O’Brien also is sticking with Mallett despite the fact that he owns a completion percentage of 51.8 percent. Arian Foster made his season debut after returning from groin surgery, but failed to provide a lift to the ground game with only 10 yards rushing on eight carries. Third-year wideout DeAndre Hopkins has 31 catches and is coming off back-to-back 100-yard games.

Houston lost its last outing, a 48-21 result against the Falcons on October 04. The Texans failed to cover in that game as a +4-point underdog, while the 69 combined points took the game OVER the total.

Team record: 1-3 SU,1-3 ATS
Houston is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games
Houston is 6-12 ATS in its last 18 games at home
Houston is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games at home

Wide receiver Andre Johnson was a dominant force during a 12-year tenure with the Texans, racking up 1,012 career receptions, but he has labored in his first season with Indianapolis and does not have a catch in either of his past two games. Running back Frank Gore is also off to a slow start with the Colts, who survived three missed field goals by the Jaguars before prevailing last week behind 40-year-old quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. Indianapolis’ defense has been vulnerable through the air, allowing 268 yards passing per game while registering only five sacks.

Last time out for Indianapolis, they were a 16-13 winner as they battled the Jaguars at home. The Colts failed to cover in the match as a -4-point favorite, while 29 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.

Oddsmakers currently have the Colts listed as 7-point favorites versus the Jets, while the game’s total is sitting at 47.

Luck and Indianapolis’ offense did next to nothing for nearly three quarters a week ago and could be without top wideout T.Y. Hilton, who has not practiced this week after suffering a bruised knee that was thought to be much more severe. A pair of veteran newcomers both had quiet debuts with the Colts – Andre Johnson had four catches for 24 yards and running back Frank Gore was limited to 31 yards on 10 carries as Indy managed only 64 yards rushing. The Colts have issues on the other side of the ball with starting cornerback Greg Toler to miss a second straight week while his backup, Darius Butler (hip), did not practice Friday.

Indianapolis lost its last outing, a 27-14 result against the Bills on September 13. The Colts failed to cover in that game as a -1-point favorite, while the 41 combined points took the game UNDER the total.

New York amassed 154 yards on the ground against Cleveland but there are injury concerns over Chris Ivory (groin), who was limited in practice for a second straight day Friday after rushing for 91 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries in Week 1. Ryan Fitzpatrick, elevated to starter when Geno Smith had his jaw broken in the preseason, threw for 179 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while Brandon Marshall had six catches for 62 yards and a score in his Jets debut. New York’s defense forced five fumbles and had three sacks but figures to receive a much more stern test from Luck than Johnny Manziel.

New York was a 31-10 winner in its last match at home against the Browns. They covered the -3.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 41 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.

Taylor is capable of making plays with his legs as well as his arm but should have both McCoy (hamstring) and rookie Karlos Williams (undisclosed) available to take on some of the pressure in the running game. “I feel like the medical staff has done a good job of preparing me so far,” McCoy told reporters. “Practicing, I’ve just been doing light loads, each day doing more and more. I feel comfortable. I’m not sure if I’ll be exactly 100 percent (on Sunday), but I feel good enough to go out there and compete.” McCoy ran for 2,962 yards and 14 TDs in his final two seasons with Philadelphia while adding 80 receptions.

Last time out for Buffalo, they were a 17-9 winner as they battled the Patriots on the road. The Bills covered in the match as a +4.5-point underdog, while 26 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.

Luck and the offense can carry the team only so far, and the defense took a big hit in the preseason when starting defensive tackle Arthur Jones (ankle) was placed on season-ending injured reserve. Indianapolis is breaking in a pair of rookies along that line in defensive end Henry Anderson and tackle David Parry while hoping outside linebacker Robert Mathis continues to defy Father Time. “These guys are going to go and they’re going to play hard and they’re going to play tough and they’re going to play damn smart,” head coach Chuck Pagano told reporters regarding Anderson and Parry. “Feel great about that group.”

Oddsmakers currently have the Patriots listed as 7-point favorites versus the Colts, while the game’s total is sitting at 53½.

New England set an NFL record for fewest rushing yards (14) in a postseason victory, but the ground game has sparked the past two victories against the Colts. Rookie Jonas Gray rumbled for 201 yards and four touchdowns in Week 11 while LeGarrette Blount steamrolled Indy for 166 yards and four scores in a 43-22 playoff win last season, but Gray was inactive last week and Blount had three carries for one yard. With no running game for which to speak, Brady threw for 367 yards and three TDs while also rushing for a score and tight end Rob Gronkowski had seven catches for 108 yards and a touchdown. Julian Edelman had 92 catches during the regular season and Danny Amendola had a pair of TD catches, but the Patriots’ defense was burned for four scoring passes.

Last time out for New England, they were a 35-31 winner as they battled the Ravens at home. The Patriots failed to cover in the match as a -7-point favorite, while 66 combined points moved the game OVER for totals bettors.

Although Luck had his string of three straight 300-yard postseason games halted and tossed a pair of interceptions, but he also had a pair of touchdown passes and spread the ball around as Indianapolis held the ball for 34 minutes. Running back Daniel “Boom” Herron has rushed for a touchdown in each of the two postseason wins while hauling in 18 receptions. T.Y. Hilton was the leading receiver during the regular season with 1,345 yards and has 10 catches in the postseason while tight ends Dwayne Allen and Coby Fleener each had eight touchdown receptions. Indianapolis’ defense limited Manning to 211 yards and has surrendered an average of 11 points in its last three games since a 42-7 blowout loss at Dallas on Dec. 21.

Indianapolis was a 24-13 winner in its last match on the road against the Broncos. They covered the +9.5-point spread as underdogs, while the total score of 37 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.
