INDIANAPOLIS -- Chuck Pagano couldnt believe his eyes.
jersey.aspx">Megan Rapinoe Jersey . Andrew Luck
couldnt believe his ears. Colts fans couldnt believe the
scoreboard, and the Kansas City Chiefs couldnt believe
their incredibly bad luck. It seemed unfathomable. On a
day Luck appeared to be pressing and, at times, as bad as
he ever has while putting Indianapolis in a 28-point
deficit, the Colts quarterback somehow turned things
around. He threw three of his four touchdowns in the
second half, scored on a fumble return and connected with
a wide-open T.Y. Hilton on a 64-yard TD pass to give the
Colts an improbable 45-44 wild-card victory Saturday.
"One for the ages," said Pagano, Indianapolis coach. "I
think somebody said that it was the second-largest
comeback or whatever in the history of whatever. I guess
21 wasnt large enough at half, so we thought weve give
them another seven, you know, just to make it
interesting." Actually, rallying from 28 down made the
latest of Lucks amazing comebacks one to remember.
Indianapolis (12-5) became only the second playoff team
to rally from that big a deficit, according to STATS.
Buffalo rallied from 32 points to beat Houston 41-38 in
January 1993, though that one required overtime. The
teams 1,049 combined total yards set an NFL post-season
record, and their 89 combined points is third on the all-
time list. The Colts, winners of four straight, travel to
either Denver or New England next weekend for the
divisional round. Luck was an incredible mix of good and
bad, finishing 29 of 45 for 443 yards, the second-highest
yardage total in franchise history for a playoff game. He
also matched his career high with three interceptions.
Hilton broke franchise playoff records with 13 catches
and 224 yards, and also caught two TDs. But it was the
way Indy won that made it stunning. Luck played angry and
frantic, turning a steady stream of halftime boos into a
chorus of cheers. "I dont know if it ever crossed my mind
on how it would be remembered," Luck said after winning
his first playoff game four seasons quicker than it took
his predecessor, Peyton Manning. "When I took a knee, and
you feel the buzz and the energy of the crowd and see
your teammates faces, that makes it special." For Kansas
City, it was another brief, miserable post-season
appearance. The Chiefs (11-6) finished their remarkable
turnaround season with three straight losses and an
eighth straight post-season defeat -- none more shocking
than this one. The eight consecutive losses broke a tie
with the Detroit Lions for the longest playoff skid. And
they were beaten up, too. Starting running back Jamaal
Charles left with a concussion on the opening possession.
Knile Davis, Charles backup, left in the fourth quarter
with what appeared to be a left knee injury. Receiver
Donnie Avery and cornerback Brandon Flowers were knocked
out with second-half concussions, and linebacker Justin
Houston was out with a knee injury when Hilton caught the
winning pass. That put even more pressure on Alex Smith,
who was 30 of 46 for 378 yards with four TDs and no
interceptions but lost a fumble that led to a touchdown
for Indy. Just about everyone other than the Colts
figured Smith sealed the win with a 10-yard TD pass to
Davis less than two minutes into the third quarter.
Instead, he tried to rally the Chiefs after Hiltons score
and wound up throwing to Dwayne Bowe -- who caught the
ball but was out of bounds -- on fourth-and-11 with 1:55
to play from the Indy 43. "Anytime youre leading like
that and then have them battle back and then take it, and
you end up losing by a point, its tough, a tough pill to
swallow," Smith said. Things appeared bleak with Indy
trailing 31-10 at halftime, and they got worse when Lucks
first pass of the second half was picked off and returned
to the Indy 18. Three plays later, Smith made it 38-10.
But Luck had plenty of time to make the jaw-dropping
rally. With Indy going no-huddle, Luck started throwing
at will. He eventually caught the Chiefs defence off-
guard when Donald Brown scored on a 10-yard run to start
the rally. Then Luck capitalized on the fumble by hooking
with Brown on a 3-yard TD pass to make it 38-24. After
Lucks third interception turned into a 42-yard field
goal, he answered with a 12-yard TD pass to cut the
deficit to 41-31 after three quarters. "Hes as
advertised. He went out there and definitely avoided some
pressure and made big plays down the field," Chiefs
cornerback Sean Smith said, referring to Luck. Even when
Eric Berry jarred the ball loose from Brown near the goal
line, Luck had the answer. He scooped up the bouncing
ball and squirted through the middle to make it 41-38.
And after a Kansas City field, goal, Luck found Hilton to
win it. "It seemed surreal, being down like we were down
and then you have that fourth-down stop and they had used
their last timeout there at the 2-minute warning," Pagano
said. "Thinking about how good tomorrows going to be,
snow or no snow, I dont really care." Notes: The Chiefs
rushed for 150 yards on 32 carries, even with Charles out
most of the game. ... Colts K Adam Vinatieri became the
first player in NFL history to score 200 points in the
playoffs. He now has 205. ... Indy won its first playoff

Harbaugh was the QB. ... The Chiefs fell to 0-4 vs. Colts

Penguins.Toronto, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - Mike
Cammalleris tiebreaking power-play goal late in the
second period helped the New Jersey Devils stop a five-
game losing streak with a 5-3 decision over the Toronto
Maple Leafs. Despite playing without Jaromir Jagr due to
a bout with the flu, the Devils had little trouble
producing offense. Steve Bernier and Eric Gelinas both
recorded a goal and an assist, with Stephen Gionta and
Adam Henrique also lighting the lamp to back a 28-save
effort from Cory Schneider. I thought we came and played
an honest game, Devils head coach Peter DeBoer said. We
got a lead, which was important, and then we played our
game. Jonathan Bernier managed just 21 saves for Toronto,
which entered Thursdays matchup 4-0-1 over its last five
outings. Mike Santorelli had a goal and an assist in the
loss. Plain and simple, I thought we got outworked
tonight, said Toronto head coach Randy Carlyle. They were
physically involved in the game to a much higher level
than we were. The Maple Leafs forged a 2-2 tie on Nazem
Kadris short-handed tally with 8:46 left in the second
period, but the Devils capitalized on another power-play
chance later in the frame to move in front to stay.
Gelinas blasted a shot that went wide of the net during
the 5-on-4 situation, but the puck went right to
Cammalleri and the veteran promptly fired it into the net
3:12 prior to the second intermission. Steve Bernier gave
New Jersey some breathing room when he poked in a rebound
of Marek Zidlickys initial attempt 6:12 into the third.
Henrique made it a 5-2 advantage later on by scoring ooff
a Toronto turnover in the Maple Leafs zone.
jersey.aspx">Carli Lloyd Jersey. Phil Kessel made
the outcome a bit more respectable for Toronto by
knocking in a loose puck on a power play with 34.2
seconds left to play. The Devils got off to a fast start,
causing an interference penalty on Torontos Cody Franson
just over four minutes in and converting the opportunity
when Gelinas beat Jonathan Bernier with a wrister that
appeared to deflect off the skate of teammate Tuomo
Ruutu. Schneider made the lead stand after one period by
making 13 saves, but couldnt stop Santorellis perfect
redirection of Joffrey Lupuls drive that tied it at 1-1
with 5:37 elapsed in the second. Gionta put New Jersey
back in front less than 2 1/2 minutes later, skating to
the net to put a pass from Jordin Tootoo between Jonathan
Berniers pads. Another penalty to Franson gave the Devils
an opportunity to extend the margin later in the period,
but a Toronto takeaway in the neutral zone led to a
short-handed rush in which Kadri followed up his own shot
by connecting on the second attempt. Game Notes The
Devils finished 2-for-3 on the power play after going 0-
for-8 over their previous two games ... Zidlicky
registered the 299th and 300th assists of his career,
with Michael Ryder and Jon Merrill also notching a pair
of helpers for New Jersey ... The Maple Leafs are 10-0-0
when scoring first this season and 3-9-3 when giving up
the initial goal ... In addition to Jagr, the Devils were
without forward Patrik Elias (groin) and defenseman Adam
Larsson (illness).
