The Patriots will have Aqib Talib in the line up for Sunday’s game. Talib was picked up via trade from Tampa before the deadline, but was suspended for a drug charge and will be making his debut against the Colts. Look for him to t...

Alfonzo Dennard Was Afraid Andrew Luck Was Going to Catch Him During Touchdown Return (Video)
Alfonzo Dennard had just one more Colts player to beat on the way to his first career touchdown in the NFL — the quarterback. The only problem is that quarterback just so happened to be Andrew Luck.
