COLTS ...42 RAMS ...6 Peyton Manning threw for three touchdowns but didn't get a chance for a sixth straight 300-yard passing game in Indianapolis' rout of winless St. Louis. It wouldn't have been appropriate for Manning to try to tie the NFL record the way his unbeaten team was beating up on the woeful Rams. The Colts defense got its first score of the year on rookie Jacob Lacey's 35-yard interception return. Looking fresh coming off their bye, the Colts won their 15th straight regular-season game and set a franchise record with their eighth straight road victory.

AVON PARK — It's Friday, about 11 a.m. Two SUVs drive up, and five people get out. There's no sign outside identifying the name of the business to G&R Supermarket, in one of Avon Park's sketchiest neighborhoods. It's the sort of place that looks scary, but the people were companionable.

There were several men on the street, some just standing there looking at the cars, wondering what was going on. ...more
