INDIANAPOLIS - Andrew Luck is eager to get right back to work.Rather than celebrate Sundays 26-10 win over Cincinnati, the Colts quarterback immediately explained he was moving on. And rather than engage in a discussion about another matchup with his predecessor, Peyton Manning, Luck focused on the big picture.Yes, the third-year quarterback is starting to sound like a seasoned playoff veteran.I think we face the Broncos, Luck said when asked about Round 3 with Manning. Its not the quarterback versus quarterback thing. Were not on the field at the same time. I have a lot of respect for him, what he does, what he still does is amazing. Hes a stud. Ill worry about the Denver defence, thats what I worry about.Thats a stark contrast to the Luck of the last two seasons.After a nine-game turnaround in 2012, they were the AFCs surprise playoff team and subsequently made a first-round exit. Last year, after Luck pulled off a 28-point comeback to beat Kansas City, the Colts were overjoyed. They wound up losing the next week.This year, Luck and the Colts (12-5) have adopted a business-like approach.Luck wound up 31 of 44 with 376 yards and finished a playoff game without a turnover for the first time. He also delivered the game-changing 36-yard TD pass as Carlos Dunlap took him to the turf.Now the Colts have bigger plans.If Luck beats the Broncos (12-4) on their home turf, something he failed to do in a 31-24 opening-week loss, Indy will face either New England (12-4) or Baltimore (11-6) in the AFC championship game. It wont be easy.Theyre a great football team and obviously theyve got a great, great quarterback, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. Its always a huge challenge and at the same time, were going to embrace the opportunity, embrace the moment. Its exciting, its fun. Its always a great chess matchHere are some takeaways from Sundays game:IMPERFECT: While Luck played well, the Colts offence was not flawless. Daniel Boom Herron lost one of his two fumbles and Indy was called for nine penalties. Those are two problems that plagued the Colts in November and December. Receiver T.Y. Hilton also dropped a couple of passes that could have put the game away earlier than Adam Vinatieris two field goals in the final 16 1/2 minutes. Indy must be sharper at Denver.HISTORIC MISERY: Cincinnati became the first NFL team to lose four consecutive opening-round games. Andy Dalton tied Warren Moon for the most consecutive opening-round playoff losses (four) by a quarterback. Coach Marvin Lewis tied Marty Schottenheimer, Jim Mora and Steven Owen for most consecutive playoff losses (six) by a coach. Lewis also tied Mora, the former Colts coach, for most consecutive playoff losses to start a career, and tied Owen for most consecutive playoff losses with one team. Oh, and the Bengals (10-6-1) havent won a playoff game in 24 years.DE-FENSE: The Colts defence is often overlooked. But Indy has been playing well lately. Against a depleted Bengals offence, the Colts limited Jeremy Hill to 13 carries for 47 yards. Indy also dominated the second half, giving up just 98 total yards and five first downs to the Bengals.LOWERING THE BOOM: Despite the fumbles, Herron had a career day. He ran 12 times for 56 yards and scored on a 1-yard TD run while catching 10 passes for 85 yards. He has clearly supplanted Trent Richardson as the starter. Pagano said Richardson, who was almost invisible because an illness kept him out of practice Friday and Saturday, may have a bigger role next week.ROAD WOES: Struggles on the road are common in the playoffs. Luck is 0-2 in his career, Cincinnati is 0-7 all-time and Indy has lost its last three playoff games away from home. The Colts last win was 15-6 at Baltimore in January 2007, a game with no touchdowns that helped spur their championship run.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Air Max 95 China Wholesale .

CHICAGO -- Chase Utley stuck it to the Cubs again. Its just what he does to teams when hes healthy and hitting. Utley went 3-for-3 and homered for the second day in a row, and Cliff Lee pitched seven scoreless innings to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 2-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. "He looks good," Sandberg said. "Hes feeling good, hes in great shape and hes producing quality at-bats right now. Hes very healthy and he looks good." Dominic Brown drove in Utley for the Phillies other run with a single in the fourth inning. Lee (2-0) allowed 10 hits and had just one 1-2-3 inning. But it never felt as if he was in trouble. He worked on the edges of both sides of the plate and kept the Cubs hitters off balance. Four of his six strikeouts were called third strikes. "I still had to battle a little bit," said Lee, who won his first start of the season despite allowing eight runs in five innings. "They got their fair share of hits, but I was able to make pitches when I needed to. "Seven innings, no runs, Ill take that every time." The Cubs wasted another strong start from Jeff Samardzija (0-1), who allowed two runs on six hits in seven innings. He walked three and struck out eight. In his two starts, the right-hander has a 1.29 ERA with nothing to show for it, but said hes confident the offence will come around. "Absolutely," he said. "I see these guys working every day; I know what theyre doing. If it were a different situation, if I thought these guys were being lazy or this or that, obviously itd be different. But these guys come to work every day, doing everything we can. "Its early in thhe season, were going to keep going, keep pushing and figure this out.dddddddddddd" Utley ensured that Lee would take the mound with a lead when he cranked a 1-1 fastball from Samardzija into the right-field bleachers for a two-out solo home run in the top of the first inning. It was Utleys second homer of the season. Utley then led off the fourth with a walk, took second on a single by Ryan Howard and scored on a single by Brown to make it 2-0. Utley, who has been bothered by knee problems in recent years, showed how healthy hes feeling on the play. Browns hit was a liner to left-centre. Utley got a quick read on the ball and raced around third to score without a play. With Lee painting the corners, the two-run advantage seemed huge. The Cubs managed two hits in each the first, third and seventh innings, but couldnt produce a big hit break through - just like things have gone so far this season. NOTES: The Cubs confirmed that RHP Carlos Villanueva will make his scheduled start in Sundays series finale. Villanuevas status was in question because he used in relief twice during the opening series in Pittsburgh. He was losing pitcher in both, meaning hell take the mound for his first start with a 0-2 record and a 13.50 ERA. A.J. Burnett (0-0, 1.50) will start for the Phillies. The veteran RHP allowed one run in six innings in his first start of the season. . Phillies SS Jimmy Rollins was back in the lineup after missing the previous two games when he returned to Philadelphia for the birth of his second child, a daughter named Logan Aliya. . Utleys double in the eighth inning was the 300th of his career, which is eighth on the Phillies all-time list. ' ' '
