NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- After days of contemplation that included an hourlong conversation with his father, the difficult decision facing Indianapolis Colts receiver Michael Pittman Jr. became clearer: a back injury that had become increasingly acute in the past week and threatened to send the veteran to injured reserve was not going to stop him from playing.

Pittman, who seemed headed for a lengthy absence early last week, did more than persevere through the pain. He also scored the Colts' decisive touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over Tennessee Titans.
