Kritik und Lob » not going to be captain then, and it was probably one

LONDON -- Finally, the Jacksonville Jaguars didnt let one slip away.The team that leads the NFL in surrendered leads since 2014 pulled out a gutsy 30-27 victory Sunday over the Indianapolis Colts despite conceding three fourth-quarter touchdowns to Andrew Luck and Frank Gore.Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles held his own versus Luck, throwing for two touchdowns and running for a third. Bortles finished 19 of 33 for 207 yards and three sacks, Luck went 27 of 42 for 234 yards, two TDs, six sacks and a costly first-quarter pick.Still, Lucks three fourth-quarter touchdown drives -- the last capped by a 64-yarder to Phillip Dorsett against busted coverage -- rattled the Jaguars nerves. But Lucks fourth-and-1 pass at the Jacksonville 49 with 1:36 remaining fell from the hands of tight end Dwayne Allen to preserve the victory for under-fire Jaguars coach Gus Bradley.Man, that was exciting. Our team never stopped believing despite all that Andrew Luck threw at us, Bradley said after the Jaguars second straight win at their London second home, Wembley Stadium.Our fan base here, that atmosphere out there, was unbelievable, and our team fed off it, he said in reference to the raucous sold-out crowd of 83,764, many of whom waved yellow Jaguars (1-3) flags and raised the volume whenever Luck had the ball.The Colts (1-3) repeatedly self-destructed on offense with dropped balls and another costly Luck interception that led to Jacksonvilles opening touchdown. The Colts proved just as reckless on defense as pass interference and unnecessary roughness penalties extended three Jacksonville scoring drives.Jacksonville took a 7-0 lead after Dante Fowler Jr. shot through the middle of the line and batted Lucks pass sideways to teammate Yannick Ngakoue, who returned the interception 12 yards to the Colts 26. Bortles found Allen Robinson wide open on an inside slant for a 3-yard touchdown as Robinson easily beat Antonio Cromartie.When you have a turnover early in the game, you give up a short field and a touchdown, and 11 penalties that keep drives alive, guys have got to control their emotions, theyve got to learn when to say when, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. Obviously we have to be better.The Jaguars led 23-6 after three quarters before the Colts mounted a tenacious comeback.The Colts first touchdown drive of the final period was aided by an end zone pass interference on safety Jonathan Cyprien. Frank Gore -- who ran 16 times for 68 yards and rose to 10th on the NFLs all-time rushing list -- punched the ball through on the next play seconds into the final period.After a Jacksonville punt, Luck led a 12-play, 78-yard touchdown drive capped by his rollout scoring toss to T.Y. Hilton alone in the right corner of the end zone to narrow the score to 23-20.The Jags didnt fold under the pressure as so often before. Bortles found Allen Hurns on a short out route that the wide receiver turned into a 42-yard touchdown. Hurns made reserve cornerback Rashaan Melvin miss, then cut inside and through the defense to put the Jaguars up 30-20 with 5:31 left.But Luck pulled the Colts back to 30-27 barely two minutes later. A coverage miscue by Jaguars rookie Jalen Ramsey left slot receiver Dorsett streaking alone to haul in the 64-yard touchdown throw.Well go back and fix what we need to fix. ... This does not feel good and it shouldnt, Luck said.JAGUARS CAN RUN: The Jaguars, who entered the game ranked as the NFLs second-worst rushing attack , got a semblance of a running game going. Yeldon carried 13 times for 68 yards and Bortles added seven scrambles for 36 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown keeper on a read-option play that put Jacksonville ahead 14-6 midway through the second quarter. Chris Ivory added eight carries for 29 yards. While nothing special, gaining 136 yards on the ground was a great improvement for a team averaging a paltry 55 per game.FOREIGN POWER: Frank Gore added to his somewhat strange status as the NFLs greatest rusher outside the United States. Sunday marked his fourth time in regular-season action on foreign soil dating back to his rookie year of 2005 in Mexico City. Gore also had strong 2010 and 2013 performances as a 49er in Londons Wembley. Adding Sundays productive numbers leaves Gore with 66 non-American carries for 264 yards and four touchdowns.MORE GORE: The running backs 68 yards on the ground raised him to 10th on the NFLs all-time rushing list at 12,293. He passed Marcus Allen, Colts all-time leading rusher Edgerrin James, and Marshall Faulk. But Gore, making his 84th straight start, most among active running backs, couldnt end the Colts most awkward streak: the longest run of any team without a 100-yard rusher. The Colts havent had one since Dec. 16, 2012, when rookie Vick Ballard reached 105 yards versus the Texans.WHATS NEXT: The Jaguars enjoy a bye week before traveling to Chicago to face the Bears. The Colts, unusually for teams making the London trip, chose not to schedule their bye after the game and will face the Bears at home Oct. 9.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFLTony Bradley Jazz Jersey . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming.

When they come to Paris, the course will be set up very differently, Wood said. It was a soft setup there, made for the Americans, and they get that choice. But when they come to Paris, a lot of them wont know whats hit them. Its one of the most demanding courses we play [on the European Tour], for the French Open, and thats not been set up for the Ryder Cup, so bring it on!We will undoubtedly be stronger as a team as a result of the defeat. Youd like to think 6-10 of those players would be on the next team and I want to be one of them. My mind has already gone to Paris and what I need to do to make sure Im there.I have got over that hurdle of the first appearance at the Ryder Cup, and playing it in America was being thrown in at the deep end. I loved every minute of it -- and we lost. Now I want to be in that team room on a Sunday night having won. I dont just want to play in one edition, I want to play in five or six and win as many as I can.Wood indicated it was hard for Darren Clarke to keep all of his 12-man team happy because settling on a strategy with six rookies among them was difficult. But the captain wass still firing up his players for the next edition as they prepared to leave Minnesota.ddddddddddddhe BMW PGA champion said: As soon as we finished and were getting ourselves ready for the presentation in our locker room, Clarkey was saying: Right lads, Paris 2018, well get it back. Even though he is not going to be captain then, and it was probably one of the hardest times for him in the week, the passion in Europe for the Ryder Cup is so strong.The week of the biennial event is as intense for the players, and Wood has felt a bit of relief returning to preparations for the familiar situation of a European Tour competition.Hes playing in the British Masters, which starts at The Grove in Hertfordshire on Thursday, and is hosted by Luke Donald, who narrowly missed out on a place on the team for Hazeltine.Everything after the PGA Championship was about making the European Ryder Cup team and the buildup to the competition, Wood said. My mind was so in cup mode that it took over my life: I moved house and wouldnt lift a box because I didnt want to risk any sort of injury.Life has moved on now and were back in normal tournament mode, ready to get back in my own bubble and carry on playing. I have five events now until the end of the year -- the beginning of the end of the season. I want to finish strongly and have a nice break over the winter. ' ' '
