Colts <m> Clinch </m> Playoff Spot with 20 - 13 Win Over Chiefs
on Dec 23 2012 , 6 : 11p
The Indianapolis Colts clinched a playoff spot and the five seed in the AFC playoffs with a 20 - 13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on another Andrew Luck game - winning drive , his seventh of the season .
A year ago , the Indianapolis Colts were an NFL - worst 2 - 14 and did not figure to be much better this season .
But fifteen games later and the Colts stand at 10 - 5 and in the playoffs as the AFC's five seed .
It is the representation of an incredible sesaon that will be extended beyond just next week .
The Colts got the win today , but it wasn't pretty .
In fact , according to Pro Football Reference , it was the first time in NFL history that a team rushed for over 350 yards and lost the game .
The Colts were outplayed on both sides of the ball , but when it counted Andrew Luck and the Colts got it done .
Check out some notes from the game :
Andrew Luck was terrible for a stretch in the game that included 10 straight incompletions .
But after that he got hot at just the right time and hit his last 6 passes of the day , capped off by a 7 - yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne in the back of the end zone for what proved to be the game winning score with four minutes left .
He ended the day 17 / 35 for 205 yards and the touchdown along with 6 carries for 21 yards .
For the second week in a row he did not turn the ball over , which is huge .
And he also set the NFL rookie record for most passing yards in a season with 4 , 051 yards - breaking Cam Newton's record set a year ago .
Dwayne Allen also set a Colts rookie record for receptions by a tight end with 43 .
Allen has had a tremendous rookie year .
He has a bright future ahead of him .
Cassius Vaughn and Pat Angerer both were terrible today .
There were others as well , but those two were the ones that really stuck out .
Basically , however , the whole defense stunk today .
The Colts gave up 507 total yards , 352 of them on the ground .
It was the worst run defense I have seen the Colts play since that now infamous debacle in Jacksonville in 2006 .
Simply must improve .
That said , the Colts won the turnover battle 3 - 0 over the Chiefs .
Darius Butler picked off a terrible Brady Quinn throw and took it back 32 yards for a score .
It was Butler's 4th pick of the year and the 2nd one he returned for a touchdown .
Pat Angerer also forced a big fumble with the Chiefs in the red zone and threatening that led to 3 points for the Colts before the half .
And then the 3rd turnover was a pick by Vontae Davis .
When you have a +3 turnover differential , you are going to win most games .
It will be huge if the Colts could keep that up .
The wide receivers really didn't help out Andrew Luck today .
They dropped several passes ( Reggie Wayne included ) and failed to get open numerous other times .
While it looked like a bad game from Luck , I place more of the blame on the receivers in this one .
Nothing was open .
However , on the final drive , once Reggie Wayne started getting involved , the Colts started rolling .
On the last drive he caught 3 passes for 37 yards and a touchdown .
Prior to that he had caught 2 passes for 44 .
The key was that once the Colts got Reggie involved , good things happened .
This game was Andrew Luck's 7th game - winning drive of the season , tying an NFL record - not just a rookie record .
Peyton Manning did it twice .
Incredibly , if Luck leads a game winning drive next week in a very winnable game for the Colts , he would have the NFL record all to himself - as a rookie .
Added to that fact is that the Colts are 8 - 1 in games decided by one score or less - the only loss coming in week 3 on that last - minute 80 yard touchdown pass by the Jaguars after Luck had led another go - ahead scoring drive late in the 4th quarter .
Chuck Pagano returns tomorrow .
What a moment that will be tomorrow when Pagano walks into the locker room and is handed the head coaching reigns once again .
And what a moment that will be next Sunday when he takes the field for the first time since week 3 .
Colts nation has supported him all the way , as has the NFL .
Next Sunday , the division rival Houston Texans come to Lucas Oil Stadium having never won in Indy .
This is a game that before the season I even thought the Colts would win - back when I thought they would get 7 wins all year .
They can beat the Texans , and with Pagano coming back , that will be a special game .
Great job , Bruce Arians .
Tremendous .
Now my piece of advice to the Colts - don't stop being Chuckstrong .
Pagano certainly won't . |

Andrew Luck was terrible for a stretch in the game that included 10 straight incompletions .
But after that he got hot at just the right time and hit his last 6 passes of the day , capped off by a 7 - yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne in the back of the end zone for what proved to be the game winning score with four minutes left .
He ended the day 17 / 35 for 205 yards and the touchdown along with 6 carries for 21 yards .
For the second week in a row he did not turn the ball over , which is huge .
And he also set the NFL rookie record for most passing yards in a season with 4 , 051 yards - breaking Cam Newton's record set a year ago .
Dwayne Allen also set a Colts rookie record for receptions by a tight end with 43 .
Allen has had a tremendous rookie year .
He has a bright future ahead of him .
Cassius Vaughn and Pat Angerer both were terrible today .
There were others as well , but those two were the ones that really stuck out .
Basically , however , the whole defense stunk today .
The Colts gave up 507 total yards , 352 of them on the ground .
It was the worst run defense I have seen the Colts play since that now infamous debacle in Jacksonville in 2006 .
Simply must improve .
That said , the Colts won the turnover battle 3 - 0 over the Chiefs .
Darius Butler picked off a terrible Brady Quinn throw and took it back 32 yards for a score .
It was Butler's 4th pick of the year and the 2nd one he returned for a touchdown .
Pat Angerer also forced a big fumble with the Chiefs in the red zone and threatening that led to 3 points for the Colts before the half .
And then the 3rd turnover was a pick by Vontae Davis .
When you have a +3 turnover differential , you are going to win most games .
It will be huge if the Colts could keep that up .
The wide receivers really didn't help out Andrew Luck today .
They dropped several passes ( Reggie Wayne included ) and failed to get open numerous other times .
While it looked like a bad game from Luck , I place more of the blame on the receivers in this one .
Nothing was open .
However , on the final drive , once Reggie Wayne started getting involved , the Colts started rolling .
On the last drive he caught 3 passes for 37 yards and a touchdown .
Prior to that he had caught 2 passes for 44 .
The key was that once the Colts got Reggie involved , good things happened .
This game was Andrew Luck's 7th game - winning drive of the season , tying an NFL record - not just a rookie record .
Peyton Manning did it twice .
Incredibly , if Luck leads a game winning drive next week in a very winnable game for the Colts , he would have the NFL record all to himself - as a rookie .
Added to that fact is that the Colts are 8 - 1 in games decided by one score or less - the only loss coming in week 3 on that last - minute 80 yard touchdown pass by the Jaguars after Luck had led another go - ahead scoring drive late in the 4th quarter .
Chuck Pagano returns tomorrow .
What a moment that will be tomorrow when Pagano walks into the locker room and is handed the head coaching reigns once again .
And what a moment that will be next Sunday when he takes the field for the first time since week 3 .
Colts nation has supported him all the way , as has the NFL .
Next Sunday , the division rival Houston Texans come to Lucas Oil Stadium having never won in Indy .
This is a game that before the season I even thought the Colts would win - back when I thought they would get 7 wins all year .
They can beat the Texans , and with Pagano coming back , that will be a special game .
Great job , Bruce Arians .
Tremendous .
Now my piece of advice to the Colts - don't stop being Chuckstrong .
Pagano certainly won't . |

A year ago , the Indianapolis Colts were an NFL - worst 2 - 14 and did not figure to be much better this season .
But fifteen games later and the Colts stand at 10 - 5 and in the playoffs as the AFC's five seed .
It is the representation of an incredible sesaon that will be extended beyond just next week .
The Colts got the win today , but it wasn't pretty .
In fact , according to Pro Football Reference , it was the first time in NFL history that a team rushed for over 350 yards and lost the game .
The Colts were outplayed on both sides of the ball , but when it counted Andrew Luck and the Colts got it done .

Indianapolis lost a 10 - point halftime lead at Kansas City , but responded down the stretch with a touchdown with 4 : 08 to go to earn a 10th victory and a playoff berth with a 20 - 13 victory .
It was not pretty , but add it up after 60 minutes and the Colts will be wearing their white jerseys at least one more time this season .
A Reggie Wayne seven - yard touchdown reception with just more than four minutes remaining gave the Colts a 20 - 13 lead at Kansas City , and the defense made it hold up as the 10th win for Indianapolis ( 10 - 5 ) clinched a playoff berth .
The Colts jumped out to a 13 - 3 halftime lead thanks to cornerback Darius Butler returning an interception 32 yards for a touchdown early in the first quarter .
It was Butler ’ s second interception returned for a touchdown this year , and the score tied a Colts club record with a total of four on the season .
Any chance for a second half without drama quickly was put to rest as the Chiefs ( 2 - 13 ) came out and tied the game with 6 : 00 minutes remaining in the third quarter .
Jamaal Charles cut into the deficit on the first play of the half with an 86 - yard touchdown run , the longest rush allowed in franchise history .
Ryan Succop hit a 47 - yard field goal moments later to tie the game .
With the offense struggling to sustain drives , it was the Indianapolis defense that stood tall with a stand .
The Chiefs were stuffed on a fourth - and - one in Colts territory early in the fourth quarter , and the momentum carried over to offensive side of the ball .
The Colts embarked on a 13 - play , 73 - yard drive that was capped off when quarterback Andrew Luck found Wayne in the back of the end zone for the game - winning score .
For the season , the Colts were 4 - 4 on the road and moved their record to 9 - 1 in one - possession games .
Luck also set an NFL rookie record for a season with 4 , 183 passing yards .
Defensively , the Colts forced three turnovers , with inside linebacker Pat Angerer causing a fumble in the first half .
Cornerback Vontae Davis recorded his first interception in a Colts uniform in the third quarter , thwarting another Chiefs drive in Indianapolis territory .
Bruce Arians tied an NFL record with nine wins as an interim head coach .
Arians tied the marks set by Hamp Pool of the Rams in 1952 and Wally Lemm of Houston in 1961 .
Indianapolis will close out the regular season next Sunday when the Houston Texans ( 12 - 3 ) head to Lucas Oil Stadium . |

Colts beat Chiefs 20 - 13 to clinch playoff berth
The expectations placed upon Andrew Luck almost seemed unfair .
Being the heir to Peyton Manning in Indianapolis is heady stuff for a rookie taking the reins of a franchise that won two games last season .
Now , after guiding the Colts back to the playoffs - and breaking Cam Newton 's single - season passing record for a <m> first - year player </m> - it's safe to say Luck exceeded just about all of them .
Luck threw for 205 yards Sunday , and his 7 - yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne on third - and - goal late in the fourth quarter gave the Colts a 20 - 13 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs .
That put them into the playoffs without worrying about anybody else .
"Would we have done it without him ? " Colts interim coach Bruce Arians asked .
"No . "
Luck broke Newton's record of 4 , 051 yards passing in the second quarter .
But it was extending his own rookie record for fourth - quarter comebacks to seven was more important .
The Chiefs had rallied behind Jamaal Charles ' 226 yards rushing to tie the game 13 - 13 heading into the fourth quarter .
The Colts' defense stuffed quarterback Brady Quinn on fourth - and - inches to give Luck a chance .
That's all he needed .
After a miserable stretch in which he connected on 1 of 13 passes , the fabulous freshman calmly led Indianapolis ( 10 - 5 ) downfield .
He completed a key pass to T . Y . Hilton on third down and made two nice throws to Wayne before hitting the veteran in the back of the end zone .
"We had so many opportunities all game , especially on third down , that we squandered , " Wayne said .
"We wanted to get that done .
That was the opportune time to do it . "
Darius Butler returned an interception 32 yards for the Colts' other touchdown , helping them join the 2008 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to win at least 10 games after losing 14 or more the previous season .
Most of those wins have come under Arians , who has filled in admirably while Chuck Pagano underwent treatment for leukemia .
Pagano is expected to rejoin the Colts this week .
"Mission accomplished .
That's all I can say , " Arians said .
"Without getting emotional again , knowing that ( Pagano ) is going to be back Monday , the work week shouldn't be as stressful . "
Charles' big day included an 86 - yard touchdown run on the first play of the second half .
It was his second 200 - yard game of the season , and came one week after he managed 10 yards on nine carries against Oakland .
"It was fun today , competing out there and doing it while we were trying to come back , " Charles said .
"It was fun going out there and putting out a performance like that . "
Charles joined the Titans' Chris Johnson and former Lions great Barry Sanders as the only players with three runs of 80 or more yards in a season .
His third career 200 - yard game also set a franchise record , which he had shared with Larry Johnson .
Peyton Hillis added 101 yards on the ground for the Chiefs ( 2 - 13 ) , who had 352 yards rushing in a losing effort - the first time that's happened in NFL history .
A big reason why was Quinn , who was just 10 of 22 for 162 yards with two interceptions .
"This game was without a doubt , 100 percent on my shoulders , " he said .
"You can't play the way I played today and win a football game . "
His trouble began with the Chiefs' fifth offensive play , when he threw woefully behind Dexter McCluster - who wasn't even looking for the ball .
Butler picked off the pass in stride , taking it untouched to the end zone for a 7 - 0 lead .
Kansas City managed a field goal by Ryan Succop , but he missed his next try and the Colts went the other direction to set up the first of Adam Vinatieri 's two field goals .
Charles fumbled in the red zone later in the second quarter , and the Colts moved into Vinatieri's range for a 36 - yard field goal and a 13 - 3 halftime lead .
Charles electrified a sparse crowd on the first play of the second half .
He angled to the left and then found room down the sideline , cutting back toward the middle of the field and winning a foot - race with the Indianapolis defense for an 86 - yard touchdown run .
The Chiefs were in position to take the lead later in the third quarter , but Quinn was picked off by Vontae Davis in the end zone .
The defense forced a three - and - out and Kansas City was driving again before settling for Succop's tying 47 - yard field goal .
The Chiefs got the ball back again late in the fourth quarter , but Quinn was stuffed on a quarterback sneak on fourth - and - inches from the Indianapolis 27 .
That turned the ball over to Luck , who completed an 11 - yard pass to T . Y . Hilton to convert a third down before he and Wayne won it .
"At times it looked a little bleak , " Arians said .
"Guys hung in there , made plays when they had to make them .
Offensively we struggled , and then put together a drive , like we have all year . "
Notes : Chiefs WR Terrance Copper ( left knee ) and DT Tyson Jackson ( left foot ) left with injuries . . . .
Wayne had five catches to become the fifth player in NFL history with four 100 - catch seasons .
He also became the 14th player to reach 13 , 000 yards receiving . |

"No . "
Luck broke Newton's record of 4 , 051 yards passing in the second quarter .
But it was extending his own rookie record for fourth - quarter comebacks to seven was more important .
The Chiefs had rallied behind Jamaal Charles ' 226 yards rushing to tie the game 13 - 13 heading into the fourth quarter .
The Colts' defense stuffed quarterback Brady Quinn on fourth - and - inches to give Luck a chance .
That's all he needed .
After a miserable stretch in which he connected on 1 of 13 passes , the fabulous freshman calmly led Indianapolis ( 10 - 5 ) downfield .
He completed a key pass to T . Y . Hilton on third down and made two nice throws to Wayne before hitting the veteran in the back of the end zone .
"We had so many opportunities all game , especially on third down , that we squandered , " Wayne said .
"We wanted to get that done .
That was the opportune time to do it . "
Darius Butler returned an interception 32 yards for the Colts' other touchdown , helping them join the 2008 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to win at least 10 games after losing 14 or more the previous season .
Most of those wins have come under Arians , who has filled in admirably while Chuck Pagano underwent treatment for leukemia .
Pagano is expected to rejoin the Colts this week .
"Mission accomplished .
That's all I can say , " Arians said .
"Without getting emotional again , knowing that ( Pagano ) is going to be back Monday , the work week shouldn't be as stressful . "
Charles' big day included an 86 - yard touchdown run on the first play of the second half .
It was his second 200 - yard game of the season , and came one week after he managed 10 yards on nine carries against Oakland .
"It was fun today , competing out there and doing it while we were trying to come back , " Charles said .
"It was fun going out there and putting out a performance like that . "
Charles joined the Titans' Chris Johnson and former Lions great Barry Sanders as the only players with three runs of 80 or more yards in a season .
His third career 200 - yard game also set a franchise record , which he had shared with Larry Johnson .
Peyton Hillis added 101 yards on the ground for the Chiefs ( 2 - 13 ) , who had 352 yards rushing in a losing effort - the first time that's happened in NFL history .
A big reason why was Quinn , who was just 10 of 22 for 162 yards with two interceptions .
"This game was without a doubt , 100 percent on my shoulders , " he said .
"You can't play the way I played today and win a football game . "
His trouble began with the Chiefs' fifth offensive play , when he threw woefully behind Dexter McCluster - who wasn't even looking for the ball .
Butler picked off the pass in stride , taking it untouched to the end zone for a 7 - 0 lead .
Kansas City managed a field goal by Ryan Succop , but he missed his next try and the Colts went the other direction to set up the first of Adam Vinatieri 's two field goals .
Charles fumbled in the red zone later in the second quarter , and the Colts moved into Vinatieri's range for a 36 - yard field goal and a 13 - 3 halftime lead .
Charles electrified a sparse crowd on the first play of the second half .
He angled to the left and then found room down the sideline , cutting back toward the middle of the field and winning a foot - race with the Indianapolis defense for an 86 - yard touchdown run .
The Chiefs were in position to take the lead later in the third quarter , but Quinn was picked off by Vontae Davis in the end zone .
The defense forced a three - and - out and Kansas City was driving again before settling for Succop's tying 47 - yard field goal .
The Chiefs got the ball back again late in the fourth quarter , but Quinn was stuffed on a quarterback sneak on fourth - and - inches from the Indianapolis 27 .
That turned the ball over to Luck , who completed an 11 - yard pass to T . Y . Hilton to convert a third down before he and Wayne won it .
"At times it looked a little bleak , " Arians said .
"Guys hung in there , made plays when they had to make them .
Offensively we struggled , and then put together a drive , like we have all year . "
Notes : Chiefs WR Terrance Copper ( left knee ) and DT Tyson Jackson ( left foot ) left with injuries . . . .
Wayne had five catches to become the fifth player in NFL history with four 100 - catch seasons .
He also became the 14th player to reach 13 , 000 yards receiving . |

"Without getting emotional again , knowing that ( Pagano ) is going to be back Monday , the work week shouldn't be as stressful . "
Charles' big day included an 86 - yard touchdown run on the first play of the second half .
It was his second 200 - yard game of the season , and came one week after he managed 10 yards on nine carries against Oakland .
"It was fun today , competing out there and doing it while we were trying to come back , " Charles said .
"It was fun going out there and putting out a performance like that . "
Charles joined the Titans' Chris Johnson and former Lions great Barry Sanders as the only players with three runs of 80 or more yards in a season .
His third career 200 - yard game also set a franchise record , which he had shared with Larry Johnson .
Peyton Hillis added 101 yards on the ground for the Chiefs ( 2 - 13 ) , who had 352 yards rushing in a losing effort - the first time that's happened in NFL history .
A big reason why was Quinn , who was just 10 of 22 for 162 yards with two interceptions .
"This game was without a doubt , 100 percent on my shoulders , " he said .
"You can't play the way I played today and win a football game . "
His trouble began with the Chiefs' fifth offensive play , when he threw woefully behind Dexter McCluster - who wasn't even looking for the ball .
Butler picked off the pass in stride , taking it untouched to the end zone for a 7 - 0 lead .
Kansas City managed a field goal by Ryan Succop , but he missed his next try and the Colts went the other direction to set up the first of Adam Vinatieri 's two field goals .
Charles fumbled in the red zone later in the second quarter , and the Colts moved into Vinatieri's range for a 36 - yard field goal and a 13 - 3 halftime lead .
Charles electrified a sparse crowd on the first play of the second half .
He angled to the left and then found room down the sideline , cutting back toward the middle of the field and winning a foot - race with the Indianapolis defense for an 86 - yard touchdown run .
The Chiefs were in position to take the lead later in the third quarter , but Quinn was picked off by Vontae Davis in the end zone .
The defense forced a three - and - out and Kansas City was driving again before settling for Succop's tying 47 - yard field goal .
The Chiefs got the ball back again late in the fourth quarter , but Quinn was stuffed on a quarterback sneak on fourth - and - inches from the Indianapolis 27 .
That turned the ball over to Luck , who completed an 11 - yard pass to T . Y . Hilton to convert a third down before he and Wayne won it .
"At times it looked a little bleak , " Arians said .
"Guys hung in there , made plays when they had to make them .
Offensively we struggled , and then put together a drive , like we have all year . "
Notes : Chiefs WR Terrance Copper ( left knee ) and DT Tyson Jackson ( left foot ) left with injuries . . . .
Wayne had five catches to become the fifth player in NFL history with four 100 - catch seasons .
He also became the 14th player to reach 13 , 000 yards receiving . |

Colts beat Chiefs 20 - 13 to clinch playoff berth
The expectations placed upon Andrew Luck almost seemed unfair .
Being the heir to Peyton Manning in Indianapolis is heady stuff for a rookie taking the reins of a franchise that won two games last season .
Now , after guiding the Colts back to the playoffs - and breaking Cam Newton 's single - season passing <m> record </m> for a first - year player - it's safe to say Luck exceeded just about all of them .
Luck threw for 205 yards Sunday , and his 7 - yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne on third - and - goal late in the fourth quarter gave the Colts a 20 - 13 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs .
That put them into the playoffs without worrying about anybody else .
"Would we have done it without him ? " Colts interim coach Bruce Arians asked .
"No . "
Luck broke Newton's record of 4 , 051 yards passing in the second quarter .
But it was extending his own rookie record for fourth - quarter comebacks to seven was more important .
The Chiefs had rallied behind Jamaal Charles ' 226 yards rushing to tie the game 13 - 13 heading into the fourth quarter .
The Colts' defense stuffed quarterback Brady Quinn on fourth - and - inches to give Luck a chance .
That's all he needed .
After a miserable stretch in which he connected on 1 of 13 passes , the fabulous freshman calmly led Indianapolis ( 10 - 5 ) downfield .
He completed a key pass to T . Y . Hilton on third down and made two nice throws to Wayne before hitting the veteran in the back of the end zone .
"We had so many opportunities all game , especially on third down , that we squandered , " Wayne said .
"We wanted to get that done .
That was the opportune time to do it . "
Darius Butler returned an interception 32 yards for the Colts' other touchdown , helping them join the 2008 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to win at least 10 games after losing 14 or more the previous season .
Most of those wins have come under Arians , who has filled in admirably while Chuck Pagano underwent treatment for leukemia .
Pagano is expected to rejoin the Colts this week .
"Mission accomplished .
That's all I can say , " Arians said .
"Without getting emotional again , knowing that ( Pagano ) is going to be back Monday , the work week shouldn't be as stressful . "

Butler picked off the pass in stride , taking it untouched to the end zone for a 7 - 0 lead .
Kansas City managed a field goal by Ryan Succop , but he missed his next try and the Colts went the other direction to set up the first of Adam Vinatieri 's two field goals .
Charles fumbled in the red zone later in the second quarter , and the Colts moved into Vinatieri's range for a 36 - yard field goal and a 13 - 3 halftime lead .
Charles electrified a sparse crowd on the first play of the second half .
He angled to the left and then found room down the sideline , cutting back toward the middle of the field and winning a foot - race with the Indianapolis defense for an 86 - yard touchdown run .
The Chiefs were in position to take the lead later in the third quarter , but Quinn was picked off by Vontae Davis in the end zone .
The defense forced a three - and - out and Kansas City was driving again before settling for Succop's tying 47 - yard field goal .
The Chiefs got the ball back again late in the fourth quarter , but Quinn was stuffed on a quarterback sneak on fourth - and - inches from the Indianapolis 27 .
That turned the ball over to Luck , who completed an 11 - yard pass to T . Y . Hilton to convert a third down before he and Wayne won it .
"At times it looked a little bleak , " Arians said .
"Guys hung in there , made plays when they had to make them .
Offensively we struggled , and then put together a drive , like we have all year . "
Notes : Chiefs WR Terrance Copper ( left knee ) and DT Tyson Jackson ( left foot ) left with injuries . . . .
Wayne had five catches to become the fifth player in NFL history with four 100 - catch seasons .
He also became the 14th player to reach 13 , 000 yards receiving . |

Colts beat Chiefs 20 - 13 to <m> clinch </m> playoff berth
The expectations placed upon Andrew Luck almost seemed unfair .
Being the heir to Peyton Manning in Indianapolis is heady stuff for a rookie taking the reins of a franchise that won two games last season .
Now , after guiding the Colts back to the playoffs - and breaking Cam Newton 's single - season passing record for a first - year player - it's safe to say Luck exceeded just about all of them .
Luck threw for 205 yards Sunday , and his 7 - yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne on third - and - goal late in the fourth quarter gave the Colts a 20 - 13 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs .
That put them into the playoffs without worrying about anybody else .
"Would we have done it without him ? " Colts interim coach Bruce Arians asked .
"No . "
Luck broke Newton's record of 4 , 051 yards passing in the second quarter .
But it was extending his own rookie record for fourth - quarter comebacks to seven was more important .
The Chiefs had rallied behind Jamaal Charles ' 226 yards rushing to tie the game 13 - 13 heading into the fourth quarter .
The Colts' defense stuffed quarterback Brady Quinn on fourth - and - inches to give Luck a chance .
That's all he needed .
After a miserable stretch in which he connected on 1 of 13 passes , the fabulous freshman calmly led Indianapolis ( 10 - 5 ) downfield .
He completed a key pass to T . Y . Hilton on third down and made two nice throws to Wayne before hitting the veteran in the back of the end zone .
"We had so many opportunities all game , especially on third down , that we squandered , " Wayne said .
"We wanted to get that done .
That was the opportune time to do it . "
Darius Butler returned an interception 32 yards for the Colts' other touchdown , helping them join the 2008 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to win at least 10 games after losing 14 or more the previous season .
Most of those wins have come under Arians , who has filled in admirably while Chuck Pagano underwent treatment for leukemia .
Pagano is expected to rejoin the Colts this week .
"Mission accomplished .
That's all I can say , " Arians said .
"Without getting emotional again , knowing that ( Pagano ) is going to be back Monday , the work week shouldn't be as stressful . "
Charles' big day included an 86 - yard touchdown run on the first play of the second half .
It was his second 200 - yard game of the season , and came one week after he managed 10 yards on nine carries against Oakland .
"It was fun today , competing out there and doing it while we were trying to come back , " Charles said .
"It was fun going out there and putting out a performance like that . "
Charles joined the Titans' Chris Johnson and former Lions great Barry Sanders as the only players with three runs of 80 or more yards in a season .
His third career 200 - yard game also set a franchise record , which he had shared with Larry Johnson .
Peyton Hillis added 101 yards on the ground for the Chiefs ( 2 - 13 ) , who had 352 yards rushing in a losing effort - the first time that's happened in NFL history .
A big reason why was Quinn , who was just 10 of 22 for 162 yards with two interceptions .
"This game was without a doubt , 100 percent on my shoulders , " he said .
"You can't play the way I played today and win a football game . "
His trouble began with the Chiefs' fifth offensive play , when he threw woefully behind Dexter McCluster - who wasn't even looking for the ball .

Colts beat Chiefs 20 - 13 to clinch playoff berth
December 23 , 2012 6 : 11 PM
The expectations placed upon Andrew Luck almost seemed unfair .
Being the heir to Peyton Manning in Indianapolis is heady stuff for a rookie taking the reins of a franchise that won two games last season .
Now , after guiding the <m> Colts </m> back to the playoffs - and breaking Cam Newton's single - season passing record for a first - year player - it's safe to say Luck exceeded just about all of them .
Luck threw for 205 yards Sunday , and his 7 - yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne on third - and - goal late in the fourth quarter gave the Colts a 20 - 13 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs .
That put them into the playoffs without worrying about anybody else .
''Would we have done it without him ? '' Colts interim coach Bruce Arians asked .
''No . ''
Luck broke Newton's record of 4 , 051 yards passing in the second quarter .
But it was extending his own rookie record for fourth - quarter comebacks to seven was more important .
The Chiefs had rallied behind Jamaal Charles' 226 yards rushing to tie the game 13 - 13 heading into the fourth quarter .
The Colts' defense stuffed quarterback Brady Quinn on fourth - and - inches to give Luck a chance .
That's all he needed .
After a miserable stretch in which he connected on 1 of 13 passes , the fabulous freshman calmly led Indianapolis ( 10 - 5 ) downfield .
He completed a key pass to T . Y . Hilton on third down and made two nice throws to Wayne before hitting the veteran in the back of the end zone .
''We had so many opportunities all game , especially on third down , that we squandered , '' Wayne said .
''We wanted to get that done .
That was the opportune time to do it . ''
Darius Butler returned an interception 32 yards for the Colts' other touchdown , helping them join the 2008 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to win at least 10 games after losing 14 or more the previous season .
Most of those wins have come under Arians , who has filled in admirably while Chuck Pagano underwent treatment for leukemia .
Pagano is expected to rejoin the Colts this week .
''Mission accomplished .
That's all I can say , '' Arians said .
''Without getting emotional again , knowing that ( Pagano ) is going to be back Monday , the work week shouldn't be as stressful . ''
Charles' big day included an 86 - yard touchdown run on the first play of the second half .
It was his second 200 - yard game of the season , and came one week after he managed 10 yards on nine carries against Oakland .
''It was fun today , competing out there and doing it while we were trying to come back , '' Charles said .
''It was fun going out there and putting out a performance like that . ''
Charles joined the Titans' Chris Johnson and former Lions great Barry Sanders as the only players with three runs of 80 or more yards in a season .
His third career 200 - yard game also set a franchise record , which he had shared with Larry Johnson .
Peyton Hillis added 101 yards on the ground for the Chiefs ( 2 - 13 ) , who had 352 yards rushing in a losing effort - the first time that's happened in NFL history .
A big reason why was Quinn , who was just 10 of 22 for 162 yards with two interceptions .
''This game was without a doubt , 100 percent on my shoulders , '' he said .
''You can't play the way I played today and win a football game . ''
His trouble began with the Chiefs' fifth offensive play , when he threw woefully behind Dexter McCluster - who wasn't even looking for the ball .
Butler picked off the pass in stride , taking it untouched to the end zone for a 7 - 0 lead .
Kansas City managed a field goal by Ryan Succop , but he missed his next try and the Colts went the other direction to set up the first of Adam Vinatieri's two field goals .
Charles fumbled in the red zone later in the second quarter , and the Colts moved into Vinatieri's range for a 36 - yard field goal and a 13 - 3 halftime lead .
Charles electrified a sparse crowd on the first play of the second half .
He angled to the left and then found room down the sideline , cutting back toward the middle of the field and winning a foot - race with the Indianapolis defense for an 86 - yard touchdown run .
The Chiefs were in position to take the lead later in the third quarter , but Quinn was picked off by Vontae Davis in the end zone .
The defense forced a three - and - out and Kansas City was driving again before settling for Succop's tying 47 - yard field goal .
The Chiefs got the ball back again late in the fourth quarter , but Quinn was stuffed on a quarterback sneak on fourth - and - inches from the Indianapolis 27 .
That turned the ball over to Luck , who completed an 11 - yard pass to T . Y . Hilton to convert a third down before he and Wayne won it .
''At times it looked a little bleak , '' Arians said .
''Guys hung in there , made plays when they had to make them .
Offensively we struggled , and then put together a drive , like we have all year . ''
Notes : Chiefs WR Terrance Copper ( left knee ) and DT Tyson Jackson ( left foot ) left with injuries . . . .
Wayne had five catches to become the fifth player in NFL history with four 100 - catch seasons .
He also became the 14th player to reach 13 , 000 yards receiving . |

Colts beat Chiefs 20 - 13 to clinch playoff berth
December 23 , 2012 6 : 11 PM
The expectations placed upon Andrew Luck almost seemed unfair .
Being the heir to Peyton Manning in Indianapolis is heady stuff for a rookie taking the reins of a franchise that won two games last season .
Now , after guiding the Colts back to the playoffs - and breaking Cam Newton's single - season passing record for a first - year player - it's safe to say Luck exceeded just about all of them .
Luck threw for 205 yards Sunday , and his 7 - yard touchdown pass to <m> Reggie Wayne </m> on third - and - goal late in the fourth quarter gave the Colts a 20 - 13 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs .
That put them into the playoffs without worrying about anybody else .
''Would we have done it without him ? '' Colts interim coach Bruce Arians asked .
''No . ''
Luck broke Newton's record of 4 , 051 yards passing in the second quarter .
But it was extending his own rookie record for fourth - quarter comebacks to seven was more important .
The Chiefs had rallied behind Jamaal Charles' 226 yards rushing to tie the game 13 - 13 heading into the fourth quarter .
The Colts' defense stuffed quarterback Brady Quinn on fourth - and - inches to give Luck a chance .
That's all he needed .
After a miserable stretch in which he connected on 1 of 13 passes , the fabulous freshman calmly led Indianapolis ( 10 - 5 ) downfield .
He completed a key pass to T . Y . Hilton on third down and made two nice throws to Wayne before hitting the veteran in the back of the end zone .
''We had so many opportunities all game , especially on third down , that we squandered , '' Wayne said .
''We wanted to get that done .
That was the opportune time to do it . ''
Darius Butler returned an interception 32 yards for the Colts' other touchdown , helping them join the 2008 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to win at least 10 games after losing 14 or more the previous season .
Most of those wins have come under Arians , who has filled in admirably while Chuck Pagano underwent treatment for leukemia .
Pagano is expected to rejoin the Colts this week .
''Mission accomplished .
That's all I can say , '' Arians said .
''Without getting emotional again , knowing that ( Pagano ) is going to be back Monday , the work week shouldn't be as stressful . ''
Charles' big day included an 86 - yard touchdown run on the first play of the second half .
It was his second 200 - yard game of the season , and came one week after he managed 10 yards on nine carries against Oakland .
''It was fun today , competing out there and doing it while we were trying to come back , '' Charles said .
''It was fun going out there and putting out a performance like that . ''
Charles joined the Titans' Chris Johnson and former Lions great Barry Sanders as the only players with three runs of 80 or more yards in a season .
His third career 200 - yard game also set a franchise record , which he had shared with Larry Johnson .
Peyton Hillis added 101 yards on the ground for the Chiefs ( 2 - 13 ) , who had 352 yards rushing in a losing effort - the first time that's happened in NFL history .
A big reason why was Quinn , who was just 10 of 22 for 162 yards with two interceptions .
''This game was without a doubt , 100 percent on my shoulders , '' he said .
''You can't play the way I played today and win a football game . ''
His trouble began with the Chiefs' fifth offensive play , when he threw woefully behind Dexter McCluster - who wasn't even looking for the ball .
Butler picked off the pass in stride , taking it untouched to the end zone for a 7 - 0 lead .
Kansas City managed a field goal by Ryan Succop , but he missed his next try and the Colts went the other direction to set up the first of Adam Vinatieri's two field goals .
Charles fumbled in the red zone later in the second quarter , and the Colts moved into Vinatieri's range for a 36 - yard field goal and a 13 - 3 halftime lead .
Charles electrified a sparse crowd on the first play of the second half .
He angled to the left and then found room down the sideline , cutting back toward the middle of the field and winning a foot - race with the Indianapolis defense for an 86 - yard touchdown run .
The Chiefs were in position to take the lead later in the third quarter , but Quinn was picked off by Vontae Davis in the end zone .
The defense forced a three - and - out and Kansas City was driving again before settling for Succop's tying 47 - yard field goal .
The Chiefs got the ball back again late in the fourth quarter , but Quinn was stuffed on a quarterback sneak on fourth - and - inches from the Indianapolis 27 .
That turned the ball over to Luck , who completed an 11 - yard pass to T . Y . Hilton to convert a third down before he and Wayne won it .
''At times it looked a little bleak , '' Arians said .
''Guys hung in there , made plays when they had to make them .
Offensively we struggled , and then put together a drive , like we have all year . ''
Notes : Chiefs WR Terrance Copper ( left knee ) and DT Tyson Jackson ( left foot ) left with injuries . . . .
Wayne had five catches to become the fifth player in NFL history with four 100 - catch seasons .
He also became the 14th player to reach 13 , 000 yards receiving . |

Colts beat Chiefs <m> 20 - 13 </m> to clinch playoff berth
December 23 , 2012 6 : 11 PM
The expectations placed upon Andrew Luck almost seemed unfair .
Being the heir to Peyton Manning in Indianapolis is heady stuff for a rookie taking the reins of a franchise that won two games last season .
Now , after guiding the Colts back to the playoffs - and breaking Cam Newton's single - season passing record for a first - year player - it's safe to say Luck exceeded just about all of them .
Luck threw for 205 yards Sunday , and his 7 - yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne on third - and - goal late in the fourth quarter gave the Colts a 20 - 13 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs .
That put them into the playoffs without worrying about anybody else .
''Would we have done it without him ? '' Colts interim coach Bruce Arians asked .
''No . ''
Luck broke Newton's record of 4 , 051 yards passing in the second quarter .
But it was extending his own rookie record for fourth - quarter comebacks to seven was more important .
The Chiefs had rallied behind Jamaal Charles' 226 yards rushing to tie the game 13 - 13 heading into the fourth quarter .
The Colts' defense stuffed quarterback Brady Quinn on fourth - and - inches to give Luck a chance .
That's all he needed .
After a miserable stretch in which he connected on 1 of 13 passes , the fabulous freshman calmly led Indianapolis ( 10 - 5 ) downfield .
He completed a key pass to T . Y . Hilton on third down and made two nice throws to Wayne before hitting the veteran in the back of the end zone .
''We had so many opportunities all game , especially on third down , that we squandered , '' Wayne said .
''We wanted to get that done .
That was the opportune time to do it . ''
Darius Butler returned an interception 32 yards for the Colts' other touchdown , helping them join the 2008 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to win at least 10 games after losing 14 or more the previous season .
Most of those wins have come under Arians , who has filled in admirably while Chuck Pagano underwent treatment for leukemia .
Pagano is expected to rejoin the Colts this week .
''Mission accomplished .
That's all I can say , '' Arians said .
''Without getting emotional again , knowing that ( Pagano ) is going to be back Monday , the work week shouldn't be as stressful . ''
Charles' big day included an 86 - yard touchdown run on the first play of the second half .
It was his second 200 - yard game of the season , and came one week after he managed 10 yards on nine carries against Oakland .
''It was fun today , competing out there and doing it while we were trying to come back , '' Charles said .
''It was fun going out there and putting out a performance like that . ''
Charles joined the Titans' Chris Johnson and former Lions great Barry Sanders as the only players with three runs of 80 or more yards in a season .
His third career 200 - yard game also set a franchise record , which he had shared with Larry Johnson .
Peyton Hillis added 101 yards on the ground for the Chiefs ( 2 - 13 ) , who had 352 yards rushing in a losing effort - the first time that's happened in NFL history .
A big reason why was Quinn , who was just 10 of 22 for 162 yards with two interceptions .
''This game was without a doubt , 100 percent on my shoulders , '' he said .
''You can't play the way I played today and win a football game . ''
His trouble began with the Chiefs' fifth offensive play , when he threw woefully behind Dexter McCluster - who wasn't even looking for the ball .
Butler picked off the pass in stride , taking it untouched to the end zone for a 7 - 0 lead .
Kansas City managed a field goal by Ryan Succop , but he missed his next try and the Colts went the other direction to set up the first of Adam Vinatieri's two field goals .
Charles fumbled in the red zone later in the second quarter , and the Colts moved into Vinatieri's range for a 36 - yard field goal and a 13 - 3 halftime lead .
Charles electrified a sparse crowd on the first play of the second half .
He angled to the left and then found room down the sideline , cutting back toward the middle of the field and winning a foot - race with the Indianapolis defense for an 86 - yard touchdown run .
The Chiefs were in position to take the lead later in the third quarter , but Quinn was picked off by Vontae Davis in the end zone .
The defense forced a three - and - out and Kansas City was driving again before settling for Succop's tying 47 - yard field goal .
The Chiefs got the ball back again late in the fourth quarter , but Quinn was stuffed on a quarterback sneak on fourth - and - inches from the Indianapolis 27 .
That turned the ball over to Luck , who completed an 11 - yard pass to T . Y . Hilton to convert a third down before he and Wayne won it .
''At times it looked a little bleak , '' Arians said .
''Guys hung in there , made plays when they had to make them .
Offensively we struggled , and then put together a drive , like we have all year . ''
Notes : Chiefs WR Terrance Copper ( left knee ) and DT Tyson Jackson ( left foot ) left with injuries . . . .
Wayne had five catches to become the fifth player in NFL history with four 100 - catch seasons .
He also became the 14th player to reach 13 , 000 yards receiving . |

Colts beat Chiefs 20 - 13 to <m> clinch </m> playoff berth
December 23 , 2012 6 : 11 PM
The expectations placed upon Andrew Luck almost seemed unfair .
Being the heir to Peyton Manning in Indianapolis is heady stuff for a rookie taking the reins of a franchise that won two games last season .
Now , after guiding the Colts back to the playoffs - and breaking Cam Newton's single - season passing record for a first - year player - it's safe to say Luck exceeded just about all of them .
Luck threw for 205 yards Sunday , and his 7 - yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne on third - and - goal late in the fourth quarter gave the Colts a 20 - 13 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs .
That put them into the playoffs without worrying about anybody else .
''Would we have done it without him ? '' Colts interim coach Bruce Arians asked .
''No . ''
Luck broke Newton's record of 4 , 051 yards passing in the second quarter .
But it was extending his own rookie record for fourth - quarter comebacks to seven was more important .
The Chiefs had rallied behind Jamaal Charles' 226 yards rushing to tie the game 13 - 13 heading into the fourth quarter .
The Colts' defense stuffed quarterback Brady Quinn on fourth - and - inches to give Luck a chance .
That's all he needed .
After a miserable stretch in which he connected on 1 of 13 passes , the fabulous freshman calmly led Indianapolis ( 10 - 5 ) downfield .
He completed a key pass to T . Y . Hilton on third down and made two nice throws to Wayne before hitting the veteran in the back of the end zone .
''We had so many opportunities all game , especially on third down , that we squandered , '' Wayne said .
''We wanted to get that done .
That was the opportune time to do it . ''
Darius Butler returned an interception 32 yards for the Colts' other touchdown , helping them join the 2008 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to win at least 10 games after losing 14 or more the previous season .
Most of those wins have come under Arians , who has filled in admirably while Chuck Pagano underwent treatment for leukemia .
Pagano is expected to rejoin the Colts this week .
''Mission accomplished .
That's all I can say , '' Arians said .
''Without getting emotional again , knowing that ( Pagano ) is going to be back Monday , the work week shouldn't be as stressful . ''
Charles' big day included an 86 - yard touchdown run on the first play of the second half .
It was his second 200 - yard game of the season , and came one week after he managed 10 yards on nine carries against Oakland .
''It was fun today , competing out there and doing it while we were trying to come back , '' Charles said .
''It was fun going out there and putting out a performance like that . ''
Charles joined the Titans' Chris Johnson and former Lions great Barry Sanders as the only players with three runs of 80 or more yards in a season .
His third career 200 - yard game also set a franchise record , which he had shared with Larry Johnson .
Peyton Hillis added 101 yards on the ground for the Chiefs ( 2 - 13 ) , who had 352 yards rushing in a losing effort - the first time that's happened in NFL history .
A big reason why was Quinn , who was just 10 of 22 for 162 yards with two interceptions .
''This game was without a doubt , 100 percent on my shoulders , '' he said .
''You can't play the way I played today and win a football game . ''
His trouble began with the Chiefs' fifth offensive play , when he threw woefully behind Dexter McCluster - who wasn't even looking for the ball .
Butler picked off the pass in stride , taking it untouched to the end zone for a 7 - 0 lead .
Kansas City managed a field goal by Ryan Succop , but he missed his next try and the Colts went the other direction to set up the first of Adam Vinatieri's two field goals .
Charles fumbled in the red zone later in the second quarter , and the Colts moved into Vinatieri's range for a 36 - yard field goal and a 13 - 3 halftime lead .
Charles electrified a sparse crowd on the first play of the second half .
He angled to the left and then found room down the sideline , cutting back toward the middle of the field and winning a foot - race with the Indianapolis defense for an 86 - yard touchdown run .
The Chiefs were in position to take the lead later in the third quarter , but Quinn was picked off by Vontae Davis in the end zone .
The defense forced a three - and - out and Kansas City was driving again before settling for Succop's tying 47 - yard field goal .
The Chiefs got the ball back again late in the fourth quarter , but Quinn was stuffed on a quarterback sneak on fourth - and - inches from the Indianapolis 27 .
That turned the ball over to Luck , who completed an 11 - yard pass to T . Y . Hilton to convert a third down before he and Wayne won it .
''At times it looked a little bleak , '' Arians said .
''Guys hung in there , made plays when they had to make them .
Offensively we struggled , and then put together a drive , like we have all year . ''
Notes : Chiefs WR Terrance Copper ( left knee ) and DT Tyson Jackson ( left foot ) left with injuries . . . .
Wayne had five catches to become the fifth player in NFL history with four 100 - catch seasons .
He also became the 14th player to reach 13 , 000 yards receiving . |

Colts beat Chiefs 20 - 13 to clinch playoff berth
December 23 , 2012 6 : 11 PM
The expectations placed upon Andrew Luck almost seemed unfair .
Being the heir to Peyton Manning in Indianapolis is heady stuff for a rookie taking the reins of a franchise that won two games last season .
Now , after guiding the Colts back to the playoffs - and breaking Cam Newton's single - season passing <m> record </m> for a first - year player - it's safe to say Luck exceeded just about all of them .
Luck threw for 205 yards Sunday , and his 7 - yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne on third - and - goal late in the fourth quarter gave the Colts a 20 - 13 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs .
That put them into the playoffs without worrying about anybody else .
''Would we have done it without him ? '' Colts interim coach Bruce Arians asked .
''No . ''
Luck broke Newton's record of 4 , 051 yards passing in the second quarter .
But it was extending his own rookie record for fourth - quarter comebacks to seven was more important .
The Chiefs had rallied behind Jamaal Charles' 226 yards rushing to tie the game 13 - 13 heading into the fourth quarter .
The Colts' defense stuffed quarterback Brady Quinn on fourth - and - inches to give Luck a chance .
That's all he needed .
After a miserable stretch in which he connected on 1 of 13 passes , the fabulous freshman calmly led Indianapolis ( 10 - 5 ) downfield .
He completed a key pass to T . Y . Hilton on third down and made two nice throws to Wayne before hitting the veteran in the back of the end zone .
''We had so many opportunities all game , especially on third down , that we squandered , '' Wayne said .
''We wanted to get that done .
That was the opportune time to do it . ''
Darius Butler returned an interception 32 yards for the Colts' other touchdown , helping them join the 2008 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to win at least 10 games after losing 14 or more the previous season .
Most of those wins have come under Arians , who has filled in admirably while Chuck Pagano underwent treatment for leukemia .
Pagano is expected to rejoin the Colts this week .
''Mission accomplished .
That's all I can say , '' Arians said .
''Without getting emotional again , knowing that ( Pagano ) is going to be back Monday , the work week shouldn't be as stressful . ''
Charles' big day included an 86 - yard touchdown run on the first play of the second half .
It was his second 200 - yard game of the season , and came one week after he managed 10 yards on nine carries against Oakland .
''It was fun today , competing out there and doing it while we were trying to come back , '' Charles said .
''It was fun going out there and putting out a performance like that . ''
Charles joined the Titans' Chris Johnson and former Lions great Barry Sanders as the only players with three runs of 80 or more yards in a season .
His third career 200 - yard game also set a franchise record , which he had shared with Larry Johnson .
Peyton Hillis added 101 yards on the ground for the Chiefs ( 2 - 13 ) , who had 352 yards rushing in a losing effort - the first time that's happened in NFL history .
A big reason why was Quinn , who was just 10 of 22 for 162 yards with two interceptions .
''This game was without a doubt , 100 percent on my shoulders , '' he said .
''You can't play the way I played today and win a football game . ''
His trouble began with the Chiefs' fifth offensive play , when he threw woefully behind Dexter McCluster - who wasn't even looking for the ball .
Butler picked off the pass in stride , taking it untouched to the end zone for a 7 - 0 lead .
Kansas City managed a field goal by Ryan Succop , but he missed his next try and the Colts went the other direction to set up the first of Adam Vinatieri's two field goals .
Charles fumbled in the red zone later in the second quarter , and the Colts moved into Vinatieri's range for a 36 - yard field goal and a 13 - 3 halftime lead .
Charles electrified a sparse crowd on the first play of the second half .
He angled to the left and then found room down the sideline , cutting back toward the middle of the field and winning a foot - race with the Indianapolis defense for an 86 - yard touchdown run .
The Chiefs were in position to take the lead later in the third quarter , but Quinn was picked off by Vontae Davis in the end zone .
The defense forced a three - and - out and Kansas City was driving again before settling for Succop's tying 47 - yard field goal .
The Chiefs got the ball back again late in the fourth quarter , but Quinn was stuffed on a quarterback sneak on fourth - and - inches from the Indianapolis 27 .
That turned the ball over to Luck , who completed an 11 - yard pass to T . Y . Hilton to convert a third down before he and Wayne won it .
''At times it looked a little bleak , '' Arians said .
''Guys hung in there , made plays when they had to make them .
Offensively we struggled , and then put together a drive , like we have all year . ''
Notes : Chiefs WR Terrance Copper ( left knee ) and DT Tyson Jackson ( left foot ) left with injuries . . . .
Wayne had five catches to become the fifth player in NFL history with four 100 - catch seasons .
He also became the 14th player to reach 13 , 000 yards receiving . |
