EAST RUTHERFORD, N. Tampa Bay Rays Shirts .J. -- When owner Jim Irsay complains, the Indianapolis Colts listen, and respond. Andrew Luck threw for 107 yards and two touchdowns and the Colts responded to criticism by their owner with a 20-12 exhibition victory over the New York Giants on Sunday night. Irsay used Twitter to apologize to fans for the Colts abysmal showing in a 44-20 loss to Buffalo last week, and the Colts (1-1) improved markedly, with some help from the bubbling and suddenly injury-concerned Giants (1-1). "Thats more like it..there r sum that shrug off losing,even at checkers;theyll never wear the HORSESHOE or touch the Diamonds of Champions," Irsay tweeted after the game in which the Giants saw wide receiver Victor Cruz (bruised heel) and starting centre David Baas (sprained knee) leave early and not come back. Luck was the Colts catalyst. Not seeing much pressure, the No. 1 pick in the 2012 draft threw touchdown passes of 28 yards to Reggie Wayne and 18 to T.Y. Hilton in leading the Colts to 17 points. Adam Vinatieri added a 52-yard field goal as Indianapolis scored on three consecutive series. "It wasnt perfect," said Luck, who completed 9 of 13 passes and finished with a 133.7 quarterback rating. "There is still a whole bunch of room for improvement but it was good to get in a rhythm, it was good to put points on the board. What a great job by our defence, holding them to three points on some short fields." Luck admitted the team was disappointed with its effort against the Bills. "We knew we wanted to come out here and show what the horseshoe is about," he said. "It wasnt perfect but we did some good things against a very good outfit." Backup kicker Brandon McManus added a 50-yard field goal for the Colts in the second half. New Yorks Josh Brown kicked field goals of 25, 27 and 45 yards in the first half. The last one came after Giants coach Tom Coughlin was flagged for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for leaving the coaching box, he said after the game. Brown added a 47-yard field goal with 8:43 to play to close out the scoring. Coughlin accepted responsibility, saying he had been warned about leaving the box. "I was wrong," said Coughlin, who did know the extent of the injuries to Cruz and Baas, although Cruz did not seem as serious. "It wasnt a smart thing but the frustration in terms of how we played was there and I am disappointed in tonights game." Luck, who led the Colts to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth in his rookie season, got a gift touchdown pass, courtesy of veteran Giants cornerback Aaron Ross, who was starting for the injured Corey Webster. On a second-and-3 play from the 28, Luck underthrew Wayne on a pattern down the right sideline. A backpedalling Ross was in perfect position to intercept the ball, but he had the ball slip out of his hands and popped into the air. Wayne came down with it in the end zone for a 7-3 lead. Ross said he lost the ball in the lights for a split second. "The lights kind of blinded me a little bit and I was trying to let it fall softly into my little pocket here," Ross said of his stomach. "It came up short, hit my hands and I ended up popping it backward. It was one of those plays youre happy it happened in the preseason and not the regular season." Ross said Wayne was even shocked. "He saw me on the sidelined and said What happened, I just knew you had the pick, " Ross said. "It was one of those fluke plays." An interception by new cornerback Greg Toler on Eli Mannings third-down pass on the ensuring series gave the ball to the Colts at the New York 41. Vinatieri made his 52-yarder with about 10 yards to spare after three plays moved the ball to the 34. Luck finished off his night, leading the Colts on a seven-play, 60-yard drive that featured two third-down conversions on passes to Hilton and a 15-yard facemask penalty against Ross. Both passes to Hilton covered 18 yards, with the second one coming on a third-and-11 from the New York 18. Hilton beat Jayron Hosley to the right corner of the end zone and Luck floated a perfect pass over the outstretched hands of the cornerback. The play was reviewed and the touchdown ruling confirmed. Without Cruz, the Giants showed flashes on offence. Manning finished 8 of 17 for 91 yards and halfbacks David Wilson and Andre Brown did OK, gaining 34 and 36, respectively on eight carries apiece. Brown provided the offence with his kicking with most coming after New York failed to take advantage of scoring position. Cruz bruised his heel on the opening series, falling heavily to the turf at MetLife Stadium going up to catch a deep pass. Pass interference was called on the play. "He runs to make a living and obviously, he has an issue with his heel," Coughlin said in refusing to say much about the injury to Cruz. Bass sprained a knee in the opening quarter and the Giants announced late the defensive end and captain Justin Tuck had a hamstring injury, which Coughlin said did not appear to be serious. Colts tight end Coby Fleener mildly sprained his right knee. NOTES: Ed Hochuli refereed the game and his son, Shawn, was the back judge. ...Giants WR Hakeem Nicks played for the first time in the preseason and had two catches for 21 yards. ...Darrious Hayward-Bey led Indianapolis with four catches for 42 yards. ..Former Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw made the trip with the Colts but was not active. ...Indianapolis had six sacks. ..New York had 10 penalties for 96 yards. .. Cheap Rays Jerseys . Specifically, thumbs up to the Canadian-based teams in the NHL, or at least most of them. Hoby Milner Jersey . - The Raiders have released guard Mike Brisiel after two disappointing seasons in Oakland. https://www.cheapraysonline.com/1836i-mike-zunino-jersey-rays.html . And he said Sunday that players believe nobody in Sterlings family should be able to own the Los Angeles Clippers if hes gone.GENEVA -- Even by Champions League standards, the stakes are dramatically high for Fenerbahce and Arsenal in the first leg of the playoff round on Wednesday. Arsenal seems to be in turmoil after a Premier League opening day loss fueled fans fury at the cash-rich clubs failure to sign big-name off-season targets. "I believe our season will depend on how we respond to this defeat," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said Saturday after a 3-1 loss to Aston Villa on Saturday provoked hostile boos at Emirates Stadium. Fenerbahce hosts Arsenal in Istanbul only hours after its lawyers begin a two-day court hearing in Switzerland to challenge its expulsion from the Champions League by UEFA in a long-running, domestic match-fixing case. UEFA agreed to let Fenerbahce play while the appeal proceeds. The Court of Arbitration for Sports verdict -- promised next week after the return match in London -- could yet decide which team advances to the lucrative group stage, and collects 15-25 million-plus euros ($20-$33 million) in UEFA prize money. Like Arsenal, AC Milan regards a place in the Champions League group stage as key to its image and finances. The seven-time European champion begins its season Tuesday away to PSV Eindhoven, the 1988 European Cup winner which has already reeled off three wins to sit atop the Dutch league. Zenit St. Petersburg offers a tricky debut for Champions League newcomer Pacos de Ferreira, which hosts the first leg in Portugal on Tuesday. Also Tuesday, Celtic has made the six hour-plus flight to face Kazakhstan champion Shakhter Karagandy, Lyon hosts Real Sociedad and Viktoria Plzen hosts Maribor. Wednesdays five-match lineup includes: Dinamo Zagreb vs. Austria Vienna, Steaua Bucharest vs. Legia Warsaw and Ludogorets Razgrad vs. Basel. Schalke hosts PAOK Thessaloniki, which was reinstated by UEFA last week. PAOK previously lost to Metalist Kharkiv, which was later expelled when a 2008 match-fixing case was resolved this month. Despite two legal defeats at CAS already, Metalist seeks another ruling from Lausanne by midday Tuesday (1000 GMT) to get back into the competition "on the basis of alleged new evidence," the court said Monday. Threee of the 10 playoff pairings have been affected by UEFA match-fixing investigations since current champion Bayern Munich beat German rival Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium in May. Cole Sulser Jersey. Fenerbahces case has the greatest potential for drama. The club, UEFA and CAS could not process its challenge to a two-season ban from European competitions before the matches against Arsenal. During an off-season legal saga, Fenerbahce forward Dirk Kuyt wrote to UEFA on behalf of the players. Kuyt said they had "a lot of questions" about the punishment dating back to matches allegedly fixed in the 2010-11 Turkish season. "This is not even proven that we are guilty," wrote Kuyt, whose club president was among several officials convicted in a criminal trial. They deny wrongdoing and have appealed. Injury-hit Arsenal knows it could lose over two legs and still earn a 16th straight season in the group stage -- though Salzburg, Fenerbahces beaten opponent in the previous qualifying round, could also seek reinstatement. England winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is the latest Gunners casualty, seriously injuring his knee Saturday to join defenders Thomas Vermaelen and Nacho Monreal, plus midfielders Mikel Arteta and Abou Diaby on the sidelines. Milan, which begins in Serie A at Verona on Saturday, has played only friendlies ahead of facing match-fit PSV, now coached by former Netherlands midfielder Phillip Cocu. Schalke lost Dutch forward Klaas-Jan Huntelaar to a knee ligament injury in its 4-0 loss at Wolfsburg on Saturday. The revised fixture with PAOK brings the Greek clubs coach Huub Stevens back to Schalke, where he won the UEFA Cup in 1997 and at which a second spell in charge ended last December. Romanian champion Steaua, the 1986 European Cup winner, hosts Legia while club president Gigi Becali serves prison time for financial wrongdoing. In June, UEFA weighed allegations that Becali tried to pay bribes to influence a 2008 league match, and deferred Steauas one-year suspension for a five-year probation period. The 10 playoff winners join 22 elite teams that qualified directly for the lucrative group stage. The draw is made Aug. 29 in Monaco. ' ' '
