INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts got Andrew Luck on track by playing fast Sunday. Now theyll try to use the same strategy to save their season.After hearing the clamor for changes all week, the Colts cranked up the pace, took their first halftime lead of the season and, yes, even managed to pull out a badly needed victory, 29-23 victory over the Chicago Bears.We needed to get off the snide and get a win, Luck said after throwing a 35-yard TD pass to T.Y. Hilton with 3:43 to play to retake the lead. We needed to get that taste out of our mouth. We needed a win. Winning cures all in this league.The Colts (2-3) had plenty of concerns all week.So Indy threw a change-up at the Bears defense and Luck took full advantage by taking shots down the field and putting points on the scoreboard early.The result: Indy had its first halftime lead of the season, 16-13.But after bogging down in the regular offense most of the second half, the Colts switched back after Chicago took a 23-19 lead midway through the fourth quarter. This time, Luck needed only six plays to go 82 yards -- the last 35 coming on the TD pass to Hilton that made it 26-23.Luck was 28 of 39 with 322 yards and two TDs despite being sacked five times. Hilton caught 10 passes for 171 yards.Bears quarterback Brian Hoyer was solid in his third straight start and gave Chicago (1-4) a 23-19 lead with a 24-yard TD pass to Jordan Howard with 7:04 left in the game. The 94-yard drive was Chicagos longest in more than seven years. Hoyer finished 33 of 43 for 397 yards and two TDs.But after a late Bears fumble led to Adam Vinatieris fifth field goal, Hoyer couldnt convert on fourth-and-8 from Indys 28-yard line.It is frustrating, Chicago coach John Fox said. It is a hard pill to swallow anytime you lose a game.PASSING THE TESTWhen the Colts opted not to take their bye following last weeks trip to London, NFL officials were eager to see how Indy performed on a regular week. The Colts easily passed the test, performing even better than they did last week. And instead of playing catch-up all day, the Colts only trailed twice -- at 3-0 and 23-19. The win could prove the long road trip wouldnt necessarily create at a disadvantage if London hosted more games.MOVING ON UPFrank Gore continues climbing the NFLs career rushing list. On Sunday, the Colts feature back passed Jim Brown for No. 9 overall with a 16-yard run late in the first quarter. Brown retired in 1965 with 12,312 yards, a league record that stood for nearly two decades. Gore had 14 carries for 75 yards Sunday, giving him 12,367. In five games, Gore has passed five Hall of Famers and Edgerrin James, the Colts career rushing leader.HOWARDS STARTHoward has already established himself as a key component in the Bears offense. The rookie ran 16 times for 118 yards and caught three passes for 45 yards and a score in his second straight start. Since Jeremy Langford, the starter went down with an ankle injury in Week 3, Howard has posted back-to-back 100-yard games.THEY SAID ITBears: Hoyer talking about an uncovered Howard before Indy called timeout: I was trying to get the ball snapped. They were messed up. But they called timeout before we could get set.Colts: Luck on Gores milestone: You wont find a guy who loves football more than Frank Gore. Hes a beautiful teammate, a great locker room guy. And to pass Jim Brown, thats great. My dad grew up in Cleveland and so he always used to talk about Jim Brown.INJURY REPORTBears: After entering the game without Jay Cutler (thumb), Langford or outside linebacker Leonard Floyd (calf), the only significant injury appeared to be backup cornerback Bryce Callahan, who left in the second half with an injured hamstring.Colts: Defensive tackle Art Jones (returning from four-game suspension) and running back Robert Turbin (wrist and shoulder) were both inactive. The only player who did not return was inside linebacker Josh McNary (stinger).Air Jordan 3 Retro Australia . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December.

This team is playing its best football of the season entering the stretch and the Wildcats believe they might finally clinch their first bowl bid since 2010.Kentucky coach Mark Stoops wont let his players get ahead of themselves and start talking about first-place and No. 10 Florida in the Southeastern Conferences Eastern Division. Right now, the Wildcats (5-3, 4-2 SEC) enter Saturday nights game against Georgia (4-4, 2-4) looking to extend their three-game winning streak and reach the six-win threshold for bowl eligibility.There will be no talk about that, Stoops said Monday when asked Kentuckys divisional prospects. We need to control what we can control, and thats playing Georgia well. ... Were in no position to look ahead against anybody.Were going to do the same things weve been doing and were going to try to do them better this week. And thats the great thing: I believe we have much better football in us.Kentucky certainly had room for improvement after starting 0-2 following a 45-7 shellacking at Florida on Sept. 10. The embarrassing contest was the middle of a three-game opening stretch in which the Wildcats yielded at least 500 yards a game. Stephen Johnson was also called into action at quarterback following a back injury to Drew Barker.The Wildcats, who have appear to have turned the tables, outgained Vanderbilt, Mississippi State and Missouri and average 568 yards the past two weeks alone. That included 582 in Saturdays 35-21 win at Missouri that earned Kentuckys fourth SEC victory for the first time since 2006 and first 4-2 marrk in league play since 1993.dddddddddddd.A strong running game led by junior Boom Williams (821 yards, three touchdowns) and freshman Benny Snell (661 yards, eight TDs) has helped relieve some of the burden on Johnson. The duo combined for 374 yards rushing and three touchdowns at Mizzou, and Kentucky has averaged 299 yards per game on the ground during its winning streak.That output speaks volumes about the protection theyre getting up front.When you come together, you have some depth, you see some results, Stoops said of the offensive line. Theyre smart, good football players and theyre only gonna get better. Thats the beautiful thing.While the Wildcats remain a work in progress on both sides of the ball, theyre finally learning how to finish games.Just when Kentucky seemed headed for a loss that would have made the path to six wins tougher, the Wildcats rallied to beat Mississippi State 40-38 on Austin MacGinnis 51-yard field goal as time expired. They never trailed in Saturdays follow-up at Mizzou and enter a stretch determined to close better than they have recently.Kentuckys second-half schedule hasnt changed much from the past two years, when it went a combined 1-11 over the final six games and finished 5-7 both times. The Wildcats just seem better prepared this time around, even eager to attack it.There are so many things that have changed, Stoops said of the Wildcats mindset. It starts with a lot of things, but (its) their commitment level, the way they practice, their belief system and discipline. There are a lot of things that were doing better that makes all the difference in the world.---More AP college football: collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
