INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck and Robert Mathis finally got the Colts out of their funk and back into their playoff groove Sunday. Padres Jacob Nix Jersey . All they have to do now is keep playing this way. Luck threw two touchdown passes, Mathis broke the Colts single-season and career records for sacks by forcing a safety in the second half and the Colts rolled past Houston 25-3 in their best overall performance in two months. "We needed it," coach Chuck Pagano said. "We talked all week about coming back and even though we had clinched the division, we wanted to start building or gaining some momentum." Houston (2-12) extended its franchise-record losing streak to 12 and fell to 0-12 all-time in Indy. The timing for the Colts late-season turnaround couldnt be better. After losing 42-28 at Cincinnati last week, the Colts (9-5) learned on the bus trip home they had clinched the AFC South title when Denver beat Tennessee. At the time, it looked as if the Colts would be locked into the No. 4 seed and would have little to play for. But with Denver (11-3) losing Thursday night, New England (10-4) losing Sunday at Miami, Indy winning and Cincinnati playing Sunday night at Pittsburgh, the door has cracked just a bit -- if the Colts win their final two games. The problem, from November through Sunday, was that Indy had not played anywhere near well enough to string back-to-back wins together. Over those previous six games, Indy lost three times by at least two touchdowns and was outscored 114-24 in the first halves. Things suddenly changed dramatically. Luck went up-tempo right from the start and used a heavy dose of bubble screens to open things up down the field. It worked well. He finished 19 of 32 for 180 yards with the two first-half TD passes that gave the Colts a 20-3 halftime lead. Indy played without two starting offensive linemen, lost replacement starter Joe Reitz with a concussion on the opening series and lost running back Donald Brown with a stinger later in the first half. "We practice it," Luck said of the decision to go no-huddle early. "We have had some success with two-minute hurry up so its good to come out and do that." The defence forced punts and turnovers and got a safety on Mathis record-breaking sack. Punt returner Griff Whalen even set up a score with a 51-yard return. But the excitement was muted. They still settled for three field goals and Luck was picked off in the red zone when he tried to force a ball into coverage. "We looked like a team that lost 11 in a row playing a good football team," interim coach Wade Phillips said in his first game since Gary Kubiak was fired. "I thought we could compete with them, but we didnt do a good job of that." Most of Houstons problems were self-inflicted, again. Case Keenum was 18 of 34 for 168 yards with two interceptions and no touchdowns. Andre Johnson, who needed five catches for another 100-reception, caught four balls for 18 yards. Ben Tate rushed 16 times for 72 yards and was fortunate not to lose a fumble. Houston also finished with 14 penalties, 10 in the first half. "That was bad today," said Keenum, whose fumble was recovered in the end zone by left tackle Duane Brown after Mathis strip sack. "My teammates deserve better, my coaches deserve better. Our fans deserve better." Luck opened the game by throwing a 14-yard TD pass to Whalen for Indys first opening-drive touchdown since Week 3. After Houstons Randy Bullock made a 49-yard field goal, Darius Butler picked off Keenum to set up Adam Vinatieris 37-yard kick. Luck made it 17-3 when he faked another receiver screen, then flipped the ball on a shovel pass to Trent Richardson for a 9-yard score. And after Butlers second interception, Vinatieri made a 43-yard field goal and Indy led 20-3. "We played good football today, kept the mistakes to a minimum and were just able to get after it," Mathis said. "A little bit of stuff here and there we can improve on, but for the most part, good football." Notes: Mathis, the NFL sacks leader, has 16 1/2 this season and 108 in his career. Longtime teammate and close friend Dwight Freeney held the Colts previous marks, getting 16 in 2004 and 107 1/2 in his career. ... Houstons 12-game losing streak is the citys professional football record. ... The Colts have gone 29 consecutive games without back-to-back losses. ... Hall of Fame running backs Eric Dickerson and Marshall Faulk joined Indys Ring of Honor at halftime. Padres Ozzie Smith Jersey .

The All-Star power forward was all right afterward, a relief for the Minnesota Timberwolves. http://www.cheappadresjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=padres-bryan-mitchell-jersey . -- The defending Canadian womens curling champions squandered an opportunity to take sole possession of first place in the standings Tuesday at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.PHILADELPHIA - Brayden Schenn did not need a look at the videoboard to know his winning goal was good. He hopped twice on his skates and punched Los Angeles defenceman Drew Doughtys chest in a jubilant celebration.Schenn scored 2:36 into overtime, and after a no-goal call was overturned following a brief review, the Philadelphia Flyers had snapped the Los Angeles Kings six-game win streak with a 3-2 victory on Tuesday night.Its always a little bit of an awkward celebration for the winner but its nice to score those goals, Schenn said.Schenn beat Jonathan Quick on a breakaway, but the Kings goalie ended up on his knees and pushed back into the net. The review gave Schenn his third goal of the season.It doesnt matter what the referees say, theyre the messenger, Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. They have the right to review. So whether it was (the right call) or not, it doesnt matter what I think is correct or not correct. It really has no bearing on anything. He was safe at third and out at home.Former Flyers captain Mike Richards scored the tying goal in the third period. Tyler Toffoli also scored for the Kings. Michael Raffl and Chris VandeVelde scored in regulation for the Flyers, when Philadelphia outshot the Kings 41-39.With centre Anze Kopitar out with an upper-body injury and defenceman Slava Voynov suspended, the Kings ran into salary-cap issues and had only 19 players dressed for the game.Raffl pounced when Claude Girouxs shot was blocked and scored his fifth goal of the season for a 1-0 lead. Toffoli also was in a perfect spot when the Flyers mishandled the puck. It bounced straight to Toffoli, who scored a short-handed goal late in the first.I kind of settled it down and made the move, Toffoli said.VandeVelde, playing on the fourth line, scored with 43.7 seconds left in the first period for his first goal since 2012, lifting Philadelphia to a 2-1 lead. The Flyers pounded Quick with 20 shots in the first, but faded with seven in the second. Philadelphias Ray Emerry had 38 saves. Padres Colten Brewer Jersey. It helps when the boys are playing like they are, Emery said. When things are going well, its always a bit easier in there.Kings-Flyers has become a must-watch game in Philadelphia following the 2011 trades that sent Richards to Los Angeles and Jeff Carter to Columbus. Carter was traded only months later to Los Angeles and paired with his former Flyers teammate to win Stanley Cups in 2012 and 2014.While the Flyers acquired Wayne Simmonds, Jakub Voracek and Schenn in the trades, they missed the playoffs in 2013 and were eliminated in the first round last season.It makes it a little extra special against a team that drafted you, Schenn said. Its obviously a huge win for our team and we got to keep moving forward.Voracek had two assists. Simmonds and Raffl are tied for the team lead in goals.Ive been in Philly longer than I was in L.A. I think its a bit overstated, Simmonds said. But its nice to play against some former friends.The debate has raged in Philly since 2011 if the Flyers are better are off without Carter and Richards or if they could have somehow won their first Stanley Cup since 1975 had they kept the duo. Carter and Richards helped the Flyers reach Game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup finals against Chicago.Richards started and was booed in pregame introductions. The Flyers held a Halloween costume party for fans and several haunted the arena with defaced Richards No. 18 jerseys. One face-painted fan dressed as a ghoul in a No. 18 sweater and held a sign that read, Sorry, Mike, but if youre not wearing orange and black, youre dead to us.He was booed again when he tied the game with his first goal of the season.I have a lot of memories in here and you cant help but think about it a little bit, Richards said.At morning skate, Carter said, no hard feelings.Its all worked out for us, he said. Couldnt be happier.NOTES: The Kings allowed only five goals on their recent six-game homestand. ... Voracek has 13 points this season.
