Arizona Cardinals wait for game day decision on injury status for wide receiver Anquan Boldin, along with inside linebacker Gerald Hayes.  Neither player participated in Thursday’s practice.

“Everything is the same, nothing has really changed,” Boldin stated.

Boldin had been unable to practiced in two weeks since suffering left ankle and knee injuries in the regular-season finale against Green Bay.

“It’s better than it was a couple days ago, though, so I’m optimistic.”

Hayes injured his right ankle on the first play of the playoff game, but managed to continue playing on it.

The Indianapolis Colts remain undefeated in Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos while they break the NFL record for consecutive regular season wins.

Even Peyton Manning’s inconsistency couldn’t derail history for the Indianapolis Colts.

Or preserve the NFL records of New England and San Francisco.

Manning was sensational, throwing three TD passes in the first 23 minutes, then mediocre, getting picked off three times in the Colts’ 28-16 victory over Denver for their 22nd consecutive regular-season win. While Manning struggled late, the defense held off the Broncos as Indy broke the Patriots’ record victory streak set just last year.

New Orleans Saints linebacker Scott Fujita is glad to see the NFL changing its concussion policies. Why? Because he figures the league is finally getting around to saving players from themselves.

“You almost have to take it out of the players’ hands, because we’re not going to make the most responsible decision,” Fujita said. “If I was in that situation in a playoff game, and I was kind of dinged and not functioning very well on the sideline, I’d like to think that someone might look out for my best interest. Because I don’t think I’d do that for myself.”
