GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Colts coach Chuck Pagano returned home to Indianapolis in a good mood.A 31-26 win Sunday on the road over the Green Bay Packers should do wonders for his teams confidence going into a bye week.Jordan Todman had a 99-yard return for a touchdown on the opening kickoff, Frank Gore rushed for two touchdowns and Andrew Luck shook off two interceptions in the first quarter with two clutch third-down throws in the fourth quarter to hold off the Packers.This was about as close as a must-win game as it could get at midseason for Indianapolis (4-5).Everybody knew exactly where we were and what the stakes were. Its a whole different world today, right now. Tomorrow will be a totally different world, Pagano said. A 4-5 record is way different coming off this then going back home and being 3-6.The Colts survived after letting an 18-point lead with 9:35 left nearly disappear. They withstood Aaron Rodgers comeback attempt.Not an ideal start offensively ... from my game, the two interceptions. Like anything, youve got to move on, Luck said . The defense built up strong early, which was huge. Then made enough plays at the end to win.Rodgers 3-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb with 3:29 left got Green Bay (4-4) within five, capping a 14-point spurt in four-plus minutes. Rodgers finished 26 of 43 for 297 yards with three scores and an interception.Luck responded on the Colts next drive with what Pagano called two unbelievable plays.The quarterback dodged a potential sack by blitzing safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to throw a 20-yard pass on third-and-10 with 3:07 left to tight end Jack Doyle.Luck also found T.Y. Hilton for a 27-yard completion on third-and-2 with 2 minutes left to put the game away. He finished 23 of 36, throwing both interceptions to Clinton-Dix.We didnt play good enough, Im disappointed, Im irritated, the fact that we were not sharp as a football team, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said.Other notes and takeaways from the game:PROTECTING LUCKThe Colts, who had allowed an NFL-worst 31 sacks coming into the game, gave their quarterback decent protection. Luck was sacked twice and maneuvered out of other tight spots, including a 7-yard scramble on a bootleg on third-and-1 with 37 seconds left in the second quarter.He deftly engineered a 15-play, 96-yard drive that ended with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Donte Moncrief with 11 seconds left to give Indianapolis a 21-10 halftime lead.LOW ENERGY?Familiar problems surfaced early for the Packers, who lost their second straight game. The offense had trouble getting going until the fourth quarter. But the defense gave up at least 30 points for a second straight game, and special teams also hurt them.Todmans kickoff return to open the game seemed to be a Green Bay buzz-killer.Weve all got to be a little mentally tougher. I dont understand the way the sideline was after that first play. We go down, lets get a field goal and well win the game. Its 7-3 early on. Weve got to be a little tougher. Thats the mark of a team, Rodgers said.INJURIESRodgers said he had his left foot stepped on pretty hard. I mean, thats a common frustration from time to time, just getting stepped on really badly. Its fine.Cobb finished with two catches for 14 yards. Questionable before the game with a hamstring injury, Cobb didnt play until the second half.I took a conservative approach with him. I was going to use him only when we needed him. Obviously, we needed him in the second half and he gave us everything hes got, McCarthy said.Safety Micah Hyde (shoulder) left in the fourth quarter. The Colts had no injuries to report.FURRY FRIENDA persistent squirrel livened up the crowd at Lambeau Field.The squirrel first made its appearance in the first half, then returned late in the third quarter. With the Packers driving at about the Colts 12, the squirrel dashed along the goal line, forcing the officials to call timeout. The squirrel finally went out of bounds, but not before causing a stir on social media .The Packers had to settle for a 27-yard field goal with 1:46 left to get within 24-13. No word on if the squirrel made the traditional Lambeau Leap to celebrate.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP Cheap Vans Canada Free Shipping .

Behind a tremendous start from Matt Rusch and a huge two-run double from Tim Smith - a double that provided the game winning run - the defending champion Goldeyes beat the Laredo Lemurs 4-1 to win their 2013 home opener. Playing in front of a capacity-plus crowd of 7,886 at Shaw Park, the Goldeyes turned a sensational double play, made a handful of eye-popping plays in the field and got tremendous pitching performances from Rusch and relievers Chris Kissock, Brendan Lafferty and Patrick Keating, as they improved to 9-2 on the season and handed Laredo (10-1) its first loss of the year. It was an evening of celebration that was climaxed by a terrific fireworks show. In-between, the Goldeyes played brilliantly, scoring four runs on 10 hits while committing no errors. "We just wanted to go and play a good ball game and hopefully come up with a win," Goldeyes manager Rick Forney told Paul Edmonds on the TSN 1290 post-game show. "I thought Matt Rusch was very good tonight. He changed speeds and used both sides of the plate. I thought his command was real good. We just wanted to play well and I thought we did that." Indeed. The Goldeyes opened the scoring in thee third inning when Josh Mazzola singled home Nick Liles.dddddddddddd After Laredo tied it in the top of the fourth, the Goldeyes blew it open in the sixth when Smith hit a double down the first-base line that scored both Mazzola and Casey Haerther to give Winnipeg a 3-1 lead. Smith came home later in the inning on a single by Amos Ramon and that was it. "It was just one of those at bats," said Smith, on the Shaw TV post-game show. "I just wanted to see the ball as well as I could and make a good swing. It was a great night. When you hand a team its first loss of the year thats pretty satisfying." Rusch pitched six complete innings allowing just one run on four hits. Kissock pitched a perfect seventh, Lafferty a perfect eighth and while Keating allowed one hit in the ninth, the Lemurs were held scoreless and the Goldeyes had their ninth win of the young season. Mazzola was the hitting star of the night. He went three-for-three with a run scored and an RBI and raised his batting average to .349. Smith had two hits in four trips with a run scored and the two biggest RBI of the night. Rusch was the winner (3-0, 1.50 ERA), while Keating picked up his fourth save. David Newman was the Lemurs hard-luck loser (1-1, 3.24 ERA). Tuesday night, lefty Mark Hardy (2-0, 0.73 ERA) will get the start for Winnipeg while lefty Mark Serrano (3-0, 1.97) will start for Laredo. ' ' '
