Trade deadline arrives...
...And the Indianapolis Colts were the only team to do a last-minute deal.
Although the Colts are 5-0, the club shored up one of its most pressing needs by trading for defensive tackle Anthony McFarland.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were shopping several veterans, and the price-tag for McFarland was believed to be a second-round pick.
With the league's worst run defense, the Colts clearly recognized they had to make a move if they are going to make a Super Bowl run, especially after losing defensive tackle Corey Simon for the rest of this season earlier this month.
McFarland is considered one of the top run-stuffing defensive tackles, and he has been a key to the Bucs' defense.
Otherwise, it was a rather anticlimactic day.
There was talk of former Vikings receiver Randy Moss being moved.
But he and teammate Jerry Porter are still Raiders.
