INDIANAPOLIS - Things are starting to look familiar in Indianapolis.Andrew Luck is throwing touchdowns, the defence continues to improve, team owner Jim Irsay is back inside the team complex a€” and back on Twitter a€” and the Colts are atop the AFC South.Its a perfect start to a long weekend.Weve got 10 days off until we play again. Were going to have a chance to get some guys back, coach Chuck Pagano said Friday. Its an opportunity to take another look at ourselves from a self-scout standpoint, kind of assess where were at and how we can get better in all three phases.A month ago, an uncharacteristically chaotic start put the Colts plans in peril.Robert Mathis, the 2013 NFL sacks champion, was suspended for the first four games because he violated the NFLs performance-enhancing substance policy and will miss the rest of the season after tearing his left Achilles tendon during a private workout while he was away from the team. Irsay was suspended six games and banned from social media by Commissioner Roger Goodell after pleading guilty to a misdemeanour count of driving while intoxicated. Indy then started the season by losing back-to-back games for the first time in Paganos three-year tenure.Since then, Indy has reverted more to the norm.Luck followed the longest losing streak of his pro career by matching a career best with four straight wins. He not only leads the league with 17 TD passes, but he also has completed a career-high 66.2 per cent of his throws and is on pace to become the first Colts quarterback to top 5,000 yards. Reggie Wayne and T.Y. Hilton are ranked among the NFLs receiving leaders, and Indy (4-2) has topped the 30-point mark three times in its last four games.The latest victory, 33-28 over the Texans, also allowed the Colts to seize control of the division. They now lead Houston (3-3) by one game and are 3-0 against division foes, with two of those wins coming on the road.I think we have a lot of backbone on this team and thats been Coach Paganos ethos since Ive been with the Colts, Luck said Thursday night after the win.After the break, the Colts could get even better. Theyve relied on a mishmash of interior offensive linemen to survive the last three weeks. Now theyre hoping the extra rest will allow starting guards Jack Mewhort (ankle) and Hugh Thornton (back) to return Oct. 19 against Cincinnati.Inside the team complex, the return of Irsay was welcomed, too.We havent had a chance to talk face-to-face yet, a couple of texts here and there, Pagano said. Obviously, its great to know that he (Irsay) is going to be back full-time with us in the building and all that stuff. I know hes extremely excited about where were at, the big win obviously yesterday and all that stuff.Irsay had never missed a game as team owner and was eager to get back in the mix Friday. While he wasnt available for interviews Friday afternoon, he did break his silence on Twitter with one of his trademark contests.Oh hell, lets just give away some stuff to the best sports fans in the world,Colts Fans! Irsay wrote in announcing the contest. Good Luck and I mean Luck because 4 in a row and 1st place is sweet!Colts fans, meanwhile, couldnt ask for much more.The offence is clicking on all cylinders, the defence and kick coverage continue to get better, and Indianapolis has reclaimed its spot as the AFC South leader.Were No. 1 right now in the AFC South and that was the plan coming in to this game, running back Ahmad Bradshaw said. Just take advantage of this opportunity and run with it.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Wholesale NBA Jerseys .Commissioner Adam Silver said Wednesday it is inevitable that the league will one day take after European sports and have sponsor names on team jerseys.

Discount NBA Jerseys . -- Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew practiced in a limited capacity Friday, a positive sign he might be able to play against the Tennessee Titans.CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks knew their Friday night game with the Anaheim Ducks was a marquee matchup, and they came out ready. Marian Hossa scored two goals, and Kris Versteeg and Bryan Bickell also tallied to lead Chicago past Anaheim 4-2 to end the Ducks eight-game winning streak and hand them only their second loss in the past 20 games. Despite scuffling along at 1-1-3 in its past five games, defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago entered the game with the NHLs second-best point total. And through most of the showdown against league-leading Anaheim, the Blackhawks were a step quicker and more determined physically. "We knew wed be facing the hottest team in the league," Hossa said. "We knew we had to stop them somehow. "We got scored on the last few minutes, but we still got the two points, which is important." With Chicago cruising 3-0, Anaheims Ryan Getzlaf scored on a wrist shot to cap an odd-man break with 6:13 left in the third to end Corey Crawfords shutout bid. Then Kyle Palmieri connected on a 40-foot shot 53 seconds later to make it close before Hossa scored into an empty net with 7.6 seconds left. Crawford made 19 saves to help the Blackhawks end a five-game losing streak against Anaheim -- including three straight in Chicago -- and beat the Ducks for the first time since December 2011. And Chicago made its statement. "Everybody comes into this building and playing us as the defending Stanley Cup champion, everybodys got their game high," Hossa said. "Now were playing the team in first, and everybody in the dressing room can feel the intensity. "Everybody prepared really well. We always have trouble playing this team. Thats why the win is big." Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville liked what he saw for most of the game. "We had a good purpose, it seemed, every shift," Quenneville said. "All of a sudden its 3-2 and anything can happen at the end. "But we got out of this one, but for the most part, the other 54 minutes, we played the right way." Anaheims run of 18 wins in 19 games began with a 3-2 shootout victory at Chicago on Dec. 6. It was the longest span of one-loss play since the 1967-68 Montreal Canadiens won a record 20 of 21. "I think we were ready, but we were really tentative," Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. "We were sitting around and watching them as though we were watching the Stanley Cup champions rather than playing. "Maybe with all the pressure weve gotten in the last two days, some guys maybe werent ready for this," he added. "Its a learning experience. To be on top theres a commitment you have to make or you dont stay they very long." Anaheim goalie Jonas Hiller was sharp and made 31 saves, but his 14-game winning streak ended..ddddddddddddThat run tied him for second-longest in NHL history with four other goalies. Hiller hadnt lost since a shootout defeat to Los Angeles on Dec. 3. "I think it was definitely not our best game," Hiller said. "If you play a team like the Blackhawks, you cant just try to work for half a period or one period and hope you win." Chicago outshot the Ducks 35-21. Versteeg collided with Bickell behind the Anaheim net at the end of the second period and didnt skate in the third. Hes out day to day with an upper-body injury. Chicago outshot Anaheim 15-8 in the first period and led 2-0 after 20 minutes. The Blackhawks dominated early, and Hossa opened the scoring with a short-handed goal at 10:34. Toews skated quickly out of the Chicago zone and sent the puck to Hossa on right wing. As Toews streaked down the slot, Hossa faked, used Anaheim defenceman Cam Fowler as a screen and fired a low shot under Hillers pads. It was the first time the Blackhawks had opened the scoring since Jan. 3, a span of six games. Versteeg made it 2-0 with 2:54 left in the period when he batted in a loose puck that two Ducks players couldnt handle. Anaheims Matt Beleskey knocked the puck away from Versteeg as he tried to cut in from the right corner, but it deflected off defenceman Sami Vatanen and toward the net. Versteeg got a piece of the flipping puck and directed it past Hiller. Crawford made a point-blank pad save on Corey Perry with 1:13 left to maintain Chicagos two-goal lead. He stopped Saku Koivu on a short-handed 2-on-1 break early in the scoreless second. Aided by three power plays, Blackhawks outshot the Ducks 11-3 in the middle period. Bickell made it 3-0 at 10:13 of the third. He gained a step on Anaheim defenceman Ben Lovejoy, plowed down the slot and fired. Hiller got a piece of the shot, but it rolled over him and into the net. After Getzlaf cut it to 3-1 with 6:13 left, Palmieri fooled Crawford on a low 40-foot shot from the slot 53 seconds later to set up a wild finish. The Ducks pressured and pulled Hiller for an extra attacker with 1:10 left, but couldnt tie it. NOTES: The Ducks announced D Sheldon Souray will miss the season after another operation on his right wrist. Souray, 37, was injured during summer training and he never got on the ice in his second year in Anaheim. ... Ducks D Bryan Allen returned after missing five games with a lower-body injury. ...
