Charlie Whitehurst entered the game in the second quarter in place of Matt Hasselbeck, who hurt his right shoulder filling in for the injured Andrew Luck, who missed his sixth game in a row.

Jose Mourinho tells Real Madrid he’s ‘not interested’ in returning
But despite Mourinho being unpopular with sections of the Real Madrid fans and dressing room, Perez has remained a huge fan.
The decision to end Whitehurst’s season further complicates the Colts’ situation at quarterback heading into next Sunday’s finale against Tennessee at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Chelsea’s post-Mourinho era begins with a victory
Guus Hiddink has been appointed Chelsea manager until the end of the season, the Premier League champions announced today. Goals from Branislav Ivanovic, Pedro and Oscar secured a win that took them up to 15th in the table.
Indianapolis had been targeting Week 16 as a return date for Luck, but he’s already been ruled out because of a lacerated kidney he suffered in a win over Denver in Week 9. “Not the way you want to finish a game, we had a good opportunity there, good play call, but it didn’t work out for us”, explained the second-year man out of Texas A&M. The Colts enjoyed short-lived success with him in the pocket, building a three-game winning streak after he threw for 315 yards and two TDs in a 25-12 win over Tampa Bay in Week 12.

Molenbeek is home to the Paris attacks fugitive Salah Abdeslam and has emerged as a European hotbed of Islamist extremism. Turkey has been on high security alert since more than 100 people were killed in twin blasts in Ankara on October 10.
Pagano said he, Luck, general manager Ryan Grigson and owner Jim Irsay would have a conversation if it reached that point. Tannehill told reporters after the game, “I feel for him”.
Hasselbeck needs one TD pass to break a tie with Y.A. Tittle and Terry Bradshaw (212) for No. 30 all-time and two to tie John Brodie (214) for No. 29.
Too soon to ask right now, but the answer will come. He finished the game by completing 8 of 15 passes for 99 yards. “It’s more the play-calling”.
The defense allowed Frank Gore to rush for 85 yards and score the Colts’ touchdowns on runs of 37 and 11 yards.
Although it faces some long odds, Pagano insists his banged-up squad isn’t ready to give up on a third straight division title. The Colts can only do what it can: Win against Miami and the Tennessee Titans while praying on losses from Houston to Tennessee and Jacksonville.
The Indianapolis Colts’ bid for a playoff bid might go down to the final weekend.
Miami’s final offensive play – a sack on fourth-and-goal at the 5-yard line – illustrates the trauma Tannehill has endured not just this season, but his entire career courtesy of this much-maligned offensive line. This time, he sprained the AC joint in his throwing shoulder against the Miami Dolphins.
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Hasselbeck (8) is attended on the field during the first half of an NFL football game against the Miami Dolphins, Sunday, Dec. 27, 2015, in Miami Gardens, Fla.
The question for many now is whether it’s a mistake to keep backing this flawed franchise as it dives into another head coaching search, another makeover.

“We have a sign in our locker room that says, ‘What you see, say and hear here stays here.’ I don’t think any of us should air our dirty laundry outside this building to be quite frank and honest with you”, said Pagano. Of course, that final sack was the result of an epic brain fart by the Miami center, who snapped the ball early on his team’s most important play, catching the rest of the line off guard as a handful of Colts defenders rumbled through while the Dolphins blockers were still in their stances.
