but we do have heart. Were going to play the game the right

INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck and Ryan Tannehill put on a memorable show for Chuck Pagano on Sunday. Cheap Authentic Jerseys . The rookie quarterbacks traded jab for jab, hook for hook and TD pass for TD pass. When the duel finally ended, it was Luck who had the records -- and another win for his ailing coach. Luck threw for 433 yards and two TD passes, breaking Cam Newtons single-game passing record (422 yards) for a rookie as he led the Colts to a 23-20 victory over Miami. The matchup was everything people expected from the two first-round draft picks, who had gotten their teams off to surprising starts. And this one will go down as yet another memorable chapter in Indys bittersweet season. Pagano, the Colts coach who had been watching the games on television since Sept. 26 after being diagnosed with a form of leukemia, walked into the coaches box about 5 minutes before kickoff and after speaking to the team. Luck took the cue, throwing for 273 yards in the first half -- the fourth highest first-half total in franchise history -- and it didnt take much longer for the No. 1 overall draft pick to join Peyton Manning as the only players in league history with four 300-yard games in their rookie seasons. Luck finished 30 of 48 and made big play after big play for the Colts (5-3), who have won three straight and are 4-1 at home. Tannehill was just as impressive despite not being 100 per cent. He was questionable all week with left knee and thigh injuries, was limited in practice and wasnt picked as the starter until about 90 minutes before kickoff. He wound up going 22 of 38 for 290 yards with one touchdown. But it wasnt quite enough to prevent Miami (4-4) from losing for the first time in four games. The difference: Luck made bigger plays. He continually escaped pressure, hooked up on long throws, converted third downs and made two uncanny TD passes -- a 9-yard throw to Reggie Wayne, who made a beautiful toe-tap in the back of the end zone in the first quarter and a 36-yard scoring pass into double coverage that rookie T.Y. Hilton hauled in with a terrific leaping catch to give Indy a 20-17 lead late in the third quarter. Miami tied the score at 20 when Dan Carpenter made a 31-yard field goal with 13:12 to go, but Luck led the Colts on a 13-play, 69-yard drive to set up Adam Vinatieri for the decisive 43-yard field goal with 6:03 to go. The Dolphins got the ball back two more times, but never got into scoring position and Luck ran out the clock. cheap jerseys .Y. -- C.J. Spiller is the first to admit his transition from star college running back to NFL rookie was much more difficult than he had imagined. wholesale nfl jerseys . -- Tom Brady cant stop smiling these days. ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Tampa Bay Rays made Felix Hernandezs perfect game look even more impressive by roughing up the Los Angeles Angels during an impressive four-game series sweep. Matt Moore shrugged off home runs by Mike Trout and Albert Pujols to win his fourth straight decision, and the Rays beat the fading Angels 8-3 on Sunday. Tampa Bay tagged Zack Greinke (1-2) and outscored the Angels 37-14 in the series -- setting a franchise record for runs in a four-game set. The offensive barrage immediately followed Hernandezs gem for the Mariners on Wednesday. "I really believe thats a testament to our players and the way they are able to put things in the trash can immediately afterwards if something bad happens," manager Joe Maddon said. "If you carry negativity around with you, nothing good can happen. So we just put it in our rearview mirror, then came out and played great down here." Angels starting pitchers were 2-6 with a 7.57 ERA and allowed 13 homers during their 10-game homestand, forcing an injury-depleted bullpen to eat up 35 1-3 innings. In this series, Greinke, Dan Haren, Jered Weaver and C.J. Wilson combined to give up 27 earned runs and six homers in 17 1-3 innings. "I have all the respect in the world for them and their pitchers, but they had to face David Price, James Shields, Alex Cobb and Matt Moore -- and they didnt even get a chance to see Jeremy Hellickson," Maddon said. "I mean, theyre good and theyre formidable, but you have to beat good teams and good pitching to go to the promised land." Ryan Roberts hit a two-run homer and Matt Joyce and Carlos Pena also drove in two runs apiece for the Rays. Tampa Bay won the season series 9-1 for its best showing against the Angels in the clubs 15-year history. Saturday nights 10-8 win, which Pena helped decide with a pinch-hit two-run homer in the eighth inning against Kevin Jepsen, made the Rays the first visiting team to beat the Angels after trailing by at least eight runs. "Tampa had grit. We had them down 8-0 yesterday and they just didnt give up," Los Angeles outfielder Torii Hunter said. "Thats a good ballclub over there, and their pitching staff is even better. Theyve probably got one of the best teams in the league, and they did what they had to do. They came in here and took four from us, which is tough to do with the ballclub we have. But the way were playing right now, its not hard." The Angels are a season-worst nine games out of first place in the AL West after their 13th loss in 18 games, and trail Baltimore by 4 1/2 games for the second wild card in the AL. "Weve just got to wait our turn. Things have been going the other teams waay lately, and the results have not been good, but were just going to keep fighting," Hunter said. cheap jerseys from china. "Im disappointed in the way were playing, but we do have heart. Were going to play the game the right way and let things take its course." Moore (10-7) allowed two runs and five hits in 6 1-3 innings. The 23-year-old left-hander is 9-2 with a 2.79 ERA over his last 14 starts, including a 3-0 win on July 28 at Anaheim to begin his winning streak. Greinke gave up six runs and seven hits over six innings in his fifth start for the Angels, who acquired the 2009 AL Cy Young Award winner from Milwaukee for three prospects. He struck out eight and walked four. The 28-year-old right-hander has allowed at least four earned runs in four consecutive starts for the first time in his nine-year career. He also dropped a 2-0 decision to the Rays on July 29 in his Angels debut. The Rays grabbed a 4-0 lead in the second when Greinke hit No. 9 hitter Elliot Johnson on the leg with the bases loaded on his first pitch to him. Greinke forced home another run with a two-out walk to B.J. Upton before Joyce capped the burst with a two-run single. "Elliot gets hit by the pitch and then B.J. gets the walk -- those were the signature at-bats today, even though they didnt get hits. They were great at-bats," Tampa Bay star Evan Longoria said. Moore had gone eight starts and 56 2-3 innings without allowing a home run until Trout led off the fourth with his 24th. But Roberts responded in the fifth with a drive into the left-field bullpen to extend Tampa Bays lead to 6-1. Moore gave up two-out singles to Erick Aybar and Vernon Wells in the fifth and appeared to be out of the jam when Bobby Wilson hit a foul pop. Catcher Jose Molina camped under it about 10 feet to the right of the plate, but first baseman Pena collided with him and elbowed him in the head as the ball popped loose, and Pena was charged with the Rays only error of the series. Molina was checked out by a trainer and allowed to continue. Moore walked Wilson on the next pitch, loading the bases, but retired Trout on a fly ball. Pujols hit his 28th homer and 473rd of his career in the sixth, putting him two away from tying Stan Musial and Willie Stargell for 28th place. NOTES: The Rays previous record for runs in a four-game series was 35, in August 2007 against Oakland. ... The Angels activated RHP Jordan Walden from the disabled list after he missed 32 games with a biceps strain. He faced four batters in the eighth and struck out three. ... LHP Hisanori Takahashi was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake, leaving Downs as the only lefty in the Angels bullpen. Downs came off the DL Saturday after missing 20 games because of a shoulder strain.
