Luck throws 2 INTs in loss to Steelers
Pittsburgh rallies in fourth quarter to beat Indianapolis, 26-24
Getty ImagesAndrew Luck of the Indianapolis Colts is sacked by LaMarr Woodley of the Pittsburgh Steelers on Aug. 19, 2012 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.
updated 3:10 a.m. ET Aug. 20, 2012
PITTSBURGH - Unlike his electric preseason debut, Andrew Luck's first pass against the Pittsburgh Steelers didn't result in a touchdown.
His eighth one did. Just not for the Indianapolis Colts.
Standing on the sideline moments after Pittsburgh's Ike Taylor cut in front of an underthrown pass and raced 50 yards for a score, Luck fumed. But only for a second.
Showing the mental toughness the Colts wanted when they tasked him with helping rebuild a franchise on the fly, the rookie rebounded to help Indianapolis take the halftime lead before falling 26-24 on Sunday night. Pittsburgh rookie kicker Danny Hrapmann kicked four second-half field goals, including the 22-yard winner with 23 seconds remaining.By then the top overall pick was in a baseball cap after completing 16 of 25 passes for 175 yards. He added a 1-yard touchdown run and the Colts (1-1) held their own against a perennial Super Bowl contender.
"You never want to throw any interceptions, even if they are tipped, bobbled, whatever," Luck said. "I've got to cut down on those, but I think showing we can bounce back from those mistakes and kind of climb out of that hole was a good sign."
Luck certainly won over the Steelers (1-1), who let Luck lead the Colts on three second-quarter scoring drives to turn a 14-0 deficit into a 17-14 lead.
"He's a tough kid," Pittsburgh defensive end Brett Keisel said. "He's a good quarterback. I think he's going to play a long time. (Colts offensive coordinator) Bruce (Arians) is, I'm sure, a happy man."
Even if Luck wasn't particularly thrilled after Taylor sprinted into the end zone to put the Steelers up two touchdowns. Luck didn't expect things to go as easily against the Steelers (No. 7 in the AP Pro32) as they did in a romp over St. Louis last week.He didn't expect to throw a pair of interceptions either.
"I knew after last week everything wasn't going to be smooth-sailing, you know?" Luck said. "But I think you can learn a lot from mistakes and hopefully not repeating mistakes."
He didn't during a sublime quarter in which he refused to get rattled against the defense that finished No. 1 in the league last fall. Using his mobility to step away from pressure and his vision to find open receivers, Luck didn't look like a guy who won't start his first NFL regular- season game for another three weeks.
"(Luck) was able to come back and put it behind him just like he always has," Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano said. "We saw the same thing in college. He's able to bring his team back from behind so it was nothing surprising to us to see him come back and put those kind of drives together."
The Steelers aren't undergoing the kind of drastic makeover the Colts (No. 32) are enduring. Still, they have issues of their own, namely getting used to new offensive coordinator Todd Haley's complex scheme.
The results so far are mixed.
Ben Roethlisberger completed 7 of 8 passes during his one drive of work in the opener against Philadelphia last week, all of them quick hitters. His first pass Sunday night ended up in the hands of Indianapolis' Antoine Bethea.
Antonio Brown and Roethlisberger atoned the next time the Steelers had the ball, with Brown doing most of the work. He hauled in an 18-yard pass from Roethlisberger on third-and-11 to extend the drive then put together a highlight-reel 57 yard catch-and-run for a touchdown.
The play was all Brown. He took a screen pass from Roethlisberger, cut to the middle and used some great downfield blocking by running back Baron Batch to get to the end zone. Brown - who has become Roethlisberger's favorite target with Mike Wallace in the midst of a holdout - added some style points by doing a flip as he crossed the goal line.
"It'd give it an 8.5," Brown said about the somersault. "I didn't stick the landing."
And the Steelers didn't stick with it. The play accounted for more than half of the 112 yards of offense Pittsburgh generated when Roethlisberger was in the huddle. Roethlisberger completed 5 of 9 passes for 81 yards and the touchdown to Brown."We're making a little bit of progress," Roethlisberger said. "I still think we're leaving a lot out there. We're not playing as good as we could or should, but we're making progress."
So are the Colts.
On the verge of getting blown out, the Colts responded behind their new leader. Luck led a 10-play, 80-yard drive after Taylor's pick and Donald Brown got Indianapolis on the board with a 1-yard plunge.
Luck had it going on Indianapolis' next possession before being undone by a little bad, well, luck. He found rookie wide receiver T.Y. Hilton in stride down the middle only to have the wide-open Hilton throw the ball up in the air. Pittsburgh's Cortez Allen ran underneath it to thwart the drive, but it hardly slowed the Colts.
Indianapolis tied it at 14 when Luck deftly slid into the end zone on fourth-and-goal from the 1, ending a drive in which Luck completed all five of his passes.
Luck got one more chance just before the half, and he made it count. Working exclusively out of the shotgun, Luck led the Colts 31 yards in five plays, giving Adam Vinatieri just enough time - and room - to sneak a kick between the uprights at the halftime gun.
NOTES: Colts DE Robert Mathis left the game in the first quarter with a shoulder strain and did not return. Indianapolis WR Austin Collie underwent a concussion test after taking a blow to the head from Pittsburgh linebacker Larry Foote. ... The Steelers travel to Buffalo on Saturday night while the Colts visit Washington. ... Harrison, Hampton, running backs Isaac Redman and Rashard Mendenhall and linebacker Jason Worilds did not dress for the Steelers. ... Indianapolis backup QB Drew Stanton completed 4 of 13 passes for 69 yards and a touchdown.

Full circle | Progress | News and debate from the progressive ...
In May 2010, the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats came together to form a coalition government, promising to erase the economic deficit in just one parliament, with ?Plan B? not an option. Over two years into their economic programme, the UK is again in recession with growth at a standstill. Andrew Bettridge met with Chris Leslie MP, shadow financial secretary to the Treasury, to discuss the economic situation and what Labour must do to provide real change.
Nottingham is a city famed for its links with the legend of Robin Hood, references to the heroic outlaw who stood up for the poor can be found all over the city. I meet with Chris Leslie who represents the east of the city ? which covers some of the most deprived inner city areas in the country.
To get to the constituency office, I walk up Maid Marian Way, one of the many links to the famous outlaw. With tax cuts for the rich and the poor having to carry much of the economic burden, many of whom who are struggling to make ends meet, I can?t help but think of Tory chancellor George Osborne as the modern-day equivalent to the Sheriff of Nottingham.
As we begin our conversation, Chris, who presently serves as a shadow minister, explains to me that it was the unfairness of Tory politics during the 1980s that inspired him to join the Labour party as a keen teenager wanting to make a difference.
Chris, who grew up in Shipley, close to Bradford, explains to me: ?My parents weren?t particularly involved in the party but they both worked in the public sector for the local council, so you heard a lot of the anti-Thatcher sentiment.
?My mother was in further education and there was a reduction in support for people studying and there were high levels of youth unemployment.
?Then my father worked as an architect for the local authority. They used to build council houses and elderly people homes but under Thatcher this just stopped.
?It meant that when Labour came in there was a lot of work needed to be done to try and rebuild the country.?
And now with the coalition government making similar decisions to Tory governments of the past, he says to it has come ?full circle?.
Chris admits that, had Labour won the 2010 election, his party would now also be making ?tough? decisions on the economy. He strongly rejects the argument of some political commentators who have said it is easier for his party being in opposition as the Tories make for the cuts.
?I would rather have Labour making difficult decisions rather than Tories messing up which is having a big impact on people?s lives and especially in Nottingham,? he says to me.
?Yes it would have been a very tough time to be in government but I just think Labour people rolling up their sleeves would have made much better decisions on the economy.
?When we left office the recovery was just starting to begin. I think we would have been climbing out of this hole far more effectively with a Labour government.
?You see what happened when we tried to stimulate the economy with VAT, it wasn?t the be all and end all but it helped push things in the right direction.?
Chris describes being in opposition as a ?horrible? experience, saying you can only really comment on what the government is doing.
When the coalition formed in 2010, Osborne said with supreme confidence that he would bring down the deficit in one parliamentary term.
However, with the country now in a double-dip recession and growth nowhere to be found, the Labour MP tells me he thinks voters will punish the Tories for ?massively? failing to deliver on their economic promise next time around at the ballot box.
?I think the public gave the government the benefit of the doubt after the election.
?However, I think that has been eroding away on a weekly basis with the omnishambles of various other things and people are starting realise that they (the government) don?t actually know what they are doing.
?What voters will not respect is that you claim that you are going to do something with big success and then massively fail to deliver.?
One of the most significant moments of the year in the political world was the election victory of Fran?ois Hollande, the first French socialist president since 1995, promising a focus on growth as an answer to austerity.
I ask Chris in his position as a shadow Treasury minister what this could mean for the Labour party if Hollande is successful in achieving his vision.
?I think it shows there is an alternative to the Cameron, Merkel and Sarkozy view of the world which was very much this axis of austerity.?
?This was really why the eurozone was being pulled back and into a recessionary situation and they still haven?t sorted this out.
?The problem is that Hollande has got an incredibly high set of expectations and a lot of people have vested so much hope in him.
?Even if he gets nine out of 10, people will still say that he hasn?t done that one thing.
?He needs to be very careful but it does show there is an alternative credible way forward and we must look at that.?
Chris believes the tide is beginning to turn with voters starting to see the differences between Ed Miliband and the Conservative prime minister.
With county council elections next year and just under three years to the next general election, he says now is the time for the party to come up with a ?really strong message?.
?We need to show how we would walk a different path to the government; not just on the economy but on how we would reform public services and many other issues.
?We need to set out our positive alternative vision for Britain,? Chris says as our chat comes to a close.

Cowon's X9 PMP now shipping, features up to 110 hours of music playback
The latest addition to Cowon's line of portable media players is reaching consumers' hands in the good, old US of A as shipping is now underway for the X9. The PMP -- which comes in either black or white -- measures 72.5mm wide, 114.9mm tall and weighs in at 159 grams. It also features a 4.3-inch touchscreen, your choice of either 8GB, 16GB or 32GB of internal flash memory, as well as a MicroSD slot. Although good sound quality is typically Cowon's calling card, the X9 also serves up a healthy helping of battery life with the company claiming up to 110 hours of music playback. Operating time when watching video is said to be up to 13 hours while charging time takes 4.5 hours via AC adapter and 6 hours when juicing through a USB connection. Supported file formats include MP3, WMA, OGG, FLAC, APE, WAV, XviD, WMV and ASF. Unlike the Plenue Z2 and the D3, the X9 opts out of using the Android OS -- which is either good or bad depending on one's preferences. Its 480 x 272 resolution is also decidedly lower than, say, the 800 x 480 seen in the Z2's 3.7-inch screen. As for cost, folks interested in getting the X9 will have to lighten their wallets to the tune of $229.99. For more details, check out the Cowon site via the link below.
