HOUSTON - When Indianapolis raced to a big lead over the Houston Texans in the first quarter, Colts coach Chuck Pagano was worried theyd let up. Kirk Cousins Jersey .They did, but that early lead was so big that they were still able to hold on for a 33-28 victory Thursday night.Youre going up and down on the sideline screaming at everybody: Dont take your foot off the gas, Pagano said. Next thing you know, just like that (its close). Its never over in this league.The Colts (4-2) led 24-0 after one quarter, but allowed Houston (3-3) to cut it to 33-28 early in the fourth quarter on J.J.

Hilton had a career-high 223 yards receiving with a touchdown to give Indy first place in the AFC South.We realized with the recent history of Thursday night games, teams who are going on the road are struggling, and we didnt want to do that, Luck said. We were lucky enough to get off on that fast start. It takes focus, and you almost have to trick yourself into it.The Texans were driving with less than five minutes remaining when Johnson a€” called for pass interference two plays earlier a€” caught a 13-yard pass and fumbled.Watt knocked down Lucks pass on third down on Indys next drive to give Houston one last chance. But Bjoern Werner sacked Fitzpatrick and stripped the ball and DQwell Jackson recovered.I was trying to make a play ... just poor ball security, Fitzpatrick said.Fitzpatrick threw for 212 yards and a touchdown and Arian Foster had 109 yards rushing with two scores for Houston.Indianapolis led by 12 when Luck fumbled and Watt recovered it and returned it 45 yards for a touchdown.

The 2-point conversion failed, leaving Indianapolis up 33-21.After a dreadful first quarter where Houston managed just 2 yards, the Texans offence finally got going in the second quarter. They kicked a field goal on fourth-and-5, but the Colts got a penalty to give Houston a new set of downs.They took advantage of the opportunity when Fitzpatrick found Johnson in the corner of the end zone and he managed to get both feet in bounds for a 4-yard touchdown two plays later to cut the lead to 24-7. It was the first touchdown of the season for Johnson.Houston got the ball back when Jared Crick tipped a pass by Luck that was intercepted by Justin Tuggle.The Texans got to 24-14 when Foster scored on a 12-yard run.The Colts added field goal to make it 27-14.Luck found Hilton on a 40-yard pass early in the first quarter, but Indys offence stalled after that and the Colts settled for a field goal to make it 3-0.Trent Richardson had a 5-yard touchdown run on a two-play drive that included a 49-yard pass to Hilton.The play was originally ruled a touchdown after Hilton recovered from a fall seemingly untouched by defender Kareem Jackson and reached the end zone.

On Sunday, the 28-year-old righty continued making his case to stay in Torontos starting rotation with his second-straight scoreless outing, helping the Blue Jays beat Minnesota 2-0 to complete a three-game sweep. Rogers (5-7) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out four over a career-high 7 2-3 innings, and Jose Reyes late double broke a scoreless tie. Rogers, who started the season in the bullpen, hasnt allowed a run since allowing two in a relief outing Aug. 27. "Thats the key, finish strong and try to be normal," Rogers said. "You go home and you obviously think about September," Rogers said. "They think, how did everybody do in September? When you finish the season theres already a lot of people who forget a little bit about it . but September is more closer to the finish of the season." Rogers won back-to-back starts for the first time since June 13 and 18. He outdueled Twins rookie Andrew Albers, who took a no-decision despite a brilliant outing. Albers made his own case for Minnesotas rotation for next year, scattering four hits over seven innings with no walks and a season-high five strikeouts. "The kid has thrown really well and he did again today," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Hell be in the mix and thats what you want is to be in the mix when you get to spring training." Albers frustrated Torontos lineup for much of the afternoon, but the Blue Jays quickly got to Twins reliever Jared Burton (2-9), who came out to start the eighth. Ryan Goins led off with a single and came around to score on Reyes double two batters later. Reyes then stole third and scored when Brian Dozier couldnt grab Rajai Davis pop-fly in shallow left to make it 2-0. Goins also made a big play on defence when he threw out Pedro Florimon at the plate in the sixth. Florimon led off the inning with a double. Alex Presley followed with a single, but Twins third-base coach Joe Vavra lost sight of the ball and held up the speedy Florimon at third. On the next at-bad, Chris Herrmann hit a grounder to Goins, who fired the ball back to catcher J.P. Arencibia rather than go for the double play. "Youve got to tip your hat, thats the play of the game right there," Arencibia said. The Twins knnew it, too. Mike Remmers Jersey. "Hes pretty upset," Gardenhire said of Vavra. "He was bummed about it in the dugout." Presley eventually advanced to third on Brian Doziers long fly, but Oswaldo Arcia grounded out to short and end the threat, drawing loud boos from the home crowd. The boos were almost as loud as the cheers from the healthy contingent of visiting Blue Jays fans, who gave Rogers a standing ovation when he left in the seventh and was replaced by Brett Cecil. Cecil and Sergio Santos combined to close out the eighth and Casey Jannsen pitched the ninth for his 29th save in 31 chances. Toronto has won 10 of its last 13 games since a season-high seven-game losing streak from Aug. 18-24. The Blue Jays are 11-3 all-time at Target Field, where the Twins have lost 10 straight. "Thats terrible, to be honest with you," Dozier said. "Were not playing very good. Offence, defence, anything." Notes: The Twins announced several call ups after the game -- INF Eduardo Escobar, OF Chris Parmelee, LHP Scott Diamond, RHP Michael Tonkin and RHP Cole De Vries. They also selected the contracts of C Eric Fryer and RHP Shairon Martis. The Twins made room for the moves by transferring RHP Samuel Deduno (shoulder) and OF Wilkin Ramirez (fractured shin) to the 60-day DL. . Blue Jays INF Edwin Encarnacion sat out with a sore left wrist. . Minnesotas bullpen entered the game having allowed 11 runs in 14 1-3 innings against the Blue Jays, including six runs in three innings in Saturday nights loss. "Its really hard for me to say anything bad about those guys in the bullpen, theyve been our saviours," Gardenhire said. . Asked if he regularly checks in on injured All-Star catcher Joe Mauer (concussion), Gardenhire quipped: "I said Hi, at breakfast. Do I need to say more than that? Im not going to follow him around, you guys do that." Gardenhire said Mauer hit in the batting cages Sunday and followed a regular cardio routine. There is still no timetable for his return. . The Blue Jays have Monday off before beginning a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels at home on Tuesday. RHP Jerome Williams (6-10) is scheduled to start that game against the Angels Mark Buehrle (11-7). The Twins will host the Angels on Monday in a makeup game from April 17; Pedro Hernandez (3-1) will start for Minnesota against Jered Weaver (9-8).
