(Reporting by Kyle Peterson; Editing by Tim Dobbyn) Stocks Stocks. Scandal, pure speculation, and just something to mull over with your Monday morning coffee.Is Vernon Gholston actually injuredOver the past week or so, I have quietly been thinking this to myself. Only when I branched out and shared this idea did I realize that I was not alone in my superstition of the Jets franchise and the mysterious injury that Gholston acquired prior to the Jacksonville game.If we think back to the Miami game (shudders), we will remember that Rex Ryan took a lot of heat post-performance for selecting Gholston ahead of a special teams player that maybe could've prevented one or both of the Ted Ginn touchdowns.Prior to the game against Jacksonville, in talking with some Jaguars fans, I made the comment that I would not be surprised if some "injury" occurred to Gholston that would take the selection headache out of Ryan's hands.The very next day we hear that Gholston had sustained a hamstring injury in a team "walk through," and that he was out for the game against Jacksonville.Now let's look back on a comment that Rex made when he first took over as head coach of the New York Jets:"If he can't do it for me and for this team, he's never going to do it."Here we are in week 10 of the NFL season, and Gholston has 11 tackles, no sacks, no INT, and no FF, so if he hasn't been doing it for Rex, perhaps the "bust" label can be firmly applied and concluded. After the loss to the Patriots yesterday, with our playoff hopes down the drain, don't be surprised to see a miraculous recovery by Gholston next week.The odd thing is when Gholston was playing and starting, he was actually starting to improve.

However, once Calvin Pace returned to the lineup and Gholston was demoted to the bench, he again became invisible, much like the entire 2008 season.However, if we are not ready to admit failure, then perhaps down the stretch, it's more beneficial to this team to have Gholston start in place of Bryan Thomas. The Indianapolis Colts are two wins away from the longest winning streak in NFL history.The Colts kept Baltimore out of the end zone Sunday and got the go-ahead field goal from former Ravens kicker Matt Stover in a 17-15 victory, their 19th straight regular-season win over two seasons.Indianapolis (10-0) overcame three turnovers, including two interceptions by Peyton Manning. Their eight consecutive 10-win seasons rank second behind San Francisco's 16 (1983-98).Indianapolis has won its last four games by a combined 10 points. The Colts usually rely on Manning, who fashioned a huge comeback against New England last week.

"We're not going to ever sneeze at being 10-0, but we're doing it by a small margin these days."The defense forced a field goal after Baltimore got a first-and-goal at the 1 in the fourth quarter, and linebacker Gary Brackett sealed the win with an interception in the closing minutes."We are definitely a bend-but-not-break defense," Brackett said. Baltimore (5-5) did not re-sign Stover over the summer, and the move has proven costly.Billy Cundiff made field goals of 46, 44, 38, 36 and 20 yards in his debut with the Ravens. But he also was wide right on a 30-yard attempt that would have given Baltimore a 15-14 lead in the third quarter.Cundiff tied Stover's team record for field goals in a game. He was signed Wednesday after Baltimore cut an ineffective Steve Hauschka who originally replaced Stover.After Stover's field goal made it 17-15, Brackett picked off Joe Flacco's pass at the Indianapolis 13 with 2:42 remaining."I made a dumb play and threw an interception in a tight situation," Flacco said.Saints 38, Buccaneers 7At Tampa, Fla., Drew Brees threw for three touchdowns and the Saints shrugged off a slow start defensively to remain unbeaten.Robert Meacham caught touchdown passes of 4 and 6 yards in the first half. Third-string running back Mike Bell scored on runs of 3 and 1 yards in the second half, when New Orleans gained 147 of its 183 yards rushing. The Saints (10-0) have their first 10-game winning streak in franchise history.A spate of turnovers made the Saints seem more vulnerable over the past month, but Brees didn't throw an interception for the first time in five games. The Saints also didn't allow a sack for the first time since Oct.
