icker Adam Vinatieri has the franchise record for consecutive field goals after breaking Mike Vanderjagts NFL record last week. Antworten

INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck prefers looking ahead.He knows the Indianapolis Colts face a serious challenge Sunday against Kansas City, a team in the middle of the AFC West title hunt.He understands the Chiefs possess a ball-hawking defense and win games by forcing turnovers and limiting mistakes.Thats enough to keep Luck on message this week -- even if everyone else wants to discuss the 28-point comeback he led the previous time he faced the Chiefs.I believe it was in the playoffs a couple years ago and it was a good win, Luck said, drawing laughter as he discussed his memories of the second-largest rally in playoff history.While the low-key response was pure Luck , his comeback and the Colts first playoff win in the post-Peyton Manning era was not.Indy punter Pat McAfee calls it the moment Colts players understood they would never be out of a game when Luck was in uniform. Coach Chuck Pagano called it the best of the 17 comeback wins on Lucks resume, including three this season.Even in Kansas City (4-2), the game has impact.You can still turn on that tape in the third quarter and the fourth quarter and theres a point where you look at the scoreboard and we somehow lost that game and just try to use it as a teaching example and keeping your edge all the way through the end, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said. Obviously, to jump out like that and to not finish it off, it was tough looking back at.But as stinging as that defeat was in January 2014, the Chiefs have rebounded nicely .After missing the playoffs by one game in 2014, they returned last season despite a 1-5 start and are now playing as well as just about any team in the league outside of New England.The Chiefs are even in the loss column with defending Super Bowl champion Denver and Oakland in the division race, and are looking to make another statement Sunday in Indianapolis.We control our own destiny now, thats the big part -- we definitely want to beat them, but were trying to win our division, so thats our goal right now, defensive tackle Jaye Howard said. Im quite sure theyre going to show us some clips of us to motivate us, but we dont need the motivation.And after a slow September, its the Colts (3-4) who are trying to learn from some of the lessons Kansas City provided last season.Some things happen, the ball starts to bounce your way, you might get some guys back healthy, a number of things and things start clicking and you win a couple games in a row and get on a roll, Pagano said. There is nothing like momentum, so it (the Chiefs turnaround) is a great example for our guys.Here are some other things to watch Sunday:AUTOMATIC ADAM: Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri has the franchise record for consecutive field goals after breaking Mike Vanderjagts NFL record last week. The 43-year-old Vinatieri has made 43 in a row, hasnt missed a field-goal attempt in 14 months and will try to extend his mark at Lucas Oil Stadium. Vinatieri also needs two field goals from 20 to 29 yards to tie Morten Andersens NFL record (176) from that distance, and one field goal from 40 to 49 yards to tie Andersen (147) for No. 2 in NFL history at that distance.PENALTY OPPOSITES: Given that the Colts rank among the league leaders with 58 penalties in seven games, perhaps it shouldnt be a surprise that Indianapolis is under .500. The Chiefs, meanwhile, have been flagged 33 times, tied with San Diego for the league low. If these trends continue Sunday, it could be easy to pick the winner.TOWERING HILTON: With 45 catches for 689 yards, Indy receiver T.Y. Hilton is on pace to shatter his previous career highs. Even with injuries to Donte Moncrief, Phillip Dorsett and Dwayne Allen, Hilton hasnt slowed down. He caught long TD passes for go-ahead scores in Indys first two wins and did it again last week -- only to have the TD catch nullified by a penalty.TAKEAWAY ADVENTURES: Kansas City doesnt just force turnovers, it takes advantages of them. They are tied for second in the NFL this season with 14 takeaways, have a plus-7 turnover margin and have scored 41 points off those takeaways. In addition, the Chiefs six defensive scores since 2015 are No. 1 in the NFL.HOME SWEET HOME: Since moving to Indy in 1984, the Colts are 6-1 on their home turf against the Chiefs. Indys only loss came in 2011, when Peyton Manning missed the entire season.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Marius Wolf Dortmund Jersey . The 18th player to shoot 60 on the tour, Jamieson settled for par on the final hole when his 15-foot birdie chip grazed the edge of the hole and stayed out. After opening with rounds of 66 and 73 to make the cut by a stroke, he had 11 birdies in the bogey-free round. Roman Burki Dortmund Jersey . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. http://www.footballdortmundpro.com/Kids-Dzenis-Burnic-Jersey/ . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. Jadon Sancho Jersey . Carey Price didnt, but he still came out on top against one of his rivals for the No. 1 job at the Sochi Games. The Anahim Lake, B.C., native was stellar in making 39 saves in his home province and Lars Eller got credit for a bizarre short-handed winner as the Canadiens defeated the Canucks 4-1. Raphael Guerreiro Dortmund Jersey . The defending champion beat Gael Monfils of France 7-6 (6), 6-3, while second-seeded Andy Murray of Britain dispatched Edouard Roger-Vasselin, also of France, 6-3, 6-3. Making his first appearance since injuring his wrist a month ago, Del Potro had difficulty with his service games in the first set. CLEVELAND -- Preseason Game No. 2 was a good nights work for Robert Griffin III.It was probably more than a good nights work. It was an excellent nights work as Griffin continues to try to revive his career with the?Cleveland Browns.Six days after a lackluster performance in Green Bay, Griffin played the majority of the first half and acccounted for 132 total yards against the Atlanta Falcons.He threw touchdown passes of 50 and 29 yards in five possessions and added runs of 14 and 22 yards. His 132 yards were 83 percent of the Browns total offense. His passer rating: 154.2.I thought he played pretty well, thought he did a good job of taking care of the ball and distributing the ball to some of our playmakers, coach Hue Jackson said.It would be tough to ask for more from Griffin, whose 50-yard TD went to Terrelle Pryor, who streaked past Desmond Trufant to catch the ball on the run. In two gaames, Pryor and Griffin have combined for receptions of 49 and 50 yards.ddddddddddddThe second TD was a better throw, and it went to tight end Gary Barnidge, who was past Keanu Neal.I thought he took care of the ball better. Obviously, were in the scoring zone and he didnt turn it over, Jackson said. He was able to make a huge play to Gary Barnidge down the sideline. Where last week we were in a similar situation and it wasnt the right situation and he turned it over. Thats improvement to me.The ball was put where only Barnidge could get it, and he reached out and grabbed it before tumbling into the end zone.I think it was [a step forward], Jackson said. We were able to get things cooking a little bit. Working the long ball. Still got a lot of things to work on. ' ' '
