• INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Andrew Luck aced his latest test Sunday night.
• Going head-to-head against his predecessor with the Colts, the 24-year-old quarterback showed everyone he's more than a worthy replacement for Peyton Manning. He beat Manning at his own game.
• On a night that was supposed to belong exclusively to homecoming king, Luck executed a perfect 2-minute drill at the end of the first half, threw three touchdown passes, ran for his third score of the season and kept the Broncos' defense off balance all night. The result: Indianapolis 39, Denver 33.
• "I thought he played really well," coach Chuck Pagano said of Luck. "I think he had three touchdown passes at half, if I'm not mistaken, 128-something QB rating. There were some errant things in the second half that happened that we'd love to have back. There's always going to be some plays here and there that you'd love to have back, but I thought he played really well."
• Luck played well enough to hand the Broncos (6-1) their first loss of the season, leaving surprising Kansas City as the NFL's last unbeaten team. And Luck played well enough to ruin what most expected to be Manning's chance to prove the Colts (5-2) made a mistake by releasing him in March 2012 so they could rebuild with Luck at the helm.
