The Indianapolis Colts beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-10 Thursday night, as last year's worst-record team improved to 6-3. "You didn't expect them to jump back into the fray this quickly," John Madden told the KCBS morning crew. "They're starting to look like a playoff team."

So far this year the St. Louis Rams are undefeated within the division, and they will look to keep this streak alive against the San Francisco 49ers. The Rams will need to play as a team and hope that San Francisco makes some mistakes to keep this game close.
The Baltimore Ravens are 4-0 at home and in second place in the AFC North. The Oakland Raiders are looking for only their second road win of the season but quarterback Carson Palmer is 9-4 in his career vs. the Ravens.

Taiwan Jones has not seen much action in his brief NFL career. In 2011 he came into the league with much promise.

Mike Goodson, in his first year for the Oakland Raiders, serves as the team's kick returner and backup running back. Originally drafted by the Carolina Panthers in 2009, he now serves as a backup to Oakland running back Darren McFadden.
Since drafting him with the 7th overall pick in the 2011 draft, Aldon Smith has been a playmaker. He set all kinds of team records last year, and he is on pace this year to put up the same numbers. As his coaches realize that he can do more then just rush the passer, they have tried to find ways to keep him on the field. Give Smith a few years and the sky is the limit for the young outside linebacker.
