INDIANAPOLIS -- Adam Vinatieri is still winning games with his foot. Andrew Luck is still winning games hes not supposed to. On Sunday, the clutch kicker and hotshot rookie teamed up again, leading the Colts back from a 13-point halftime deficit for another come-from-behind victory, 27-23 over Tennessee. "Everybody on the team -- offensively, defensively, special teams -- just plays football. Theyre not worried about the scoreboard too much, not worried about whats going on," Luck explained. "Theyre aware of the situations, and we just go out there and play football to the best of our abilities. Its just not overthinking all the situations." That much is expected from Vinatieri, who owns four Super Bowl rings and has long been considered the best clutch kicker in league history. But its not supposed to be this way for the No. 1 overall draft pick. He now has six fourth-quarter comebacks this season, one more than Ben Roethlisberger had in 2004 and Vince Young had in 2006 -- the highest single-season total by a rookie quarterback since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. It came on the same day he passed Peyton Manning for the most yards passing by a rookie in Colts history and moved into second among all NFL rookies, trailing only Carolinas Cam Newton (4,051). Luck has 3,792 yards with three games to play. Indy (9-4) has now won a league-high eight one-possession games and this one put them on the verge of making the playoffs as coach Chuck Pagano watched his third straight game inside Lucas Oil Stadium. Pagano recently completed his final round of chemotherapy for leukemia and could be back on the sideline for the teams final regular season game on Dec. 30. Sundays losses by Cincinnati and Pittsburgh have made the playoff scenario incredibly simple for Indy, too: Win one more and theyve got a ticket to the post-season, less than 12 months after finishing 2-14 last season and less than five months after being branded the leagues worst team in the preseason power rankings. "Weve got faith in this team, in not quitting," defensive end Cory Redding said. "We dont concede to the word quit, and especially not at home." If Tennessee (4-9) didnt understand before, they certainly do after another stinging defeat at the hands of the Colts. A year ago, the 0-13 Colts derailed the Titans playoff plans. In October, Indy did it again, rallying to force overtime, winning the coin toss and then running right down the field. It ended with Vick Ballards twisting dive into the end zone. This time, Tennessee had no one else to blame. Cassius Vaughn picked off Jake Locker and scored on a 3-yard interception return to give Indy a 21-20 lead late in the third quarter. "It was one that I shouldnt have thrown," Locker said. "I should be able to handle that position. I thought something different was happening." Lockers second pick of the day set up Vinatieris shorter field goal. The biggest mistake of all came even later. Following Vinatieris second field goal, the Titans got the ball back at their own 20 with 3:48 left. On the first play, Locker threw 4 yards to Kenny Britt. On the next play, Chris Johnson ran for 6 yards to the 30. But Tennessee coach Mike Munchak and Locker both thought the officials marked Johnson short, so Locker rushed the offence to the line and ran a quarterback sneak for no yards before Munchak could get his attention. Locker then threw back-to-back incompletions, forcing a punt on fourth down, and the Colts ran out the clock. Locker was 22 of 35 for 262 yards with one TD and the two picks. "We were in no huddle and we gave him the code work for a sneak because originally when he went down, it didnt appear that he had the first down," Munchak said. "Obviously, when they marked it, he already had the play and he just ran it. We were trying to contact him, but with all of the chaos, he just assumed that he still needed the first down." Luck and the Colts had their share of miscues in the first half, including Lucks poor decision to throw the ball as he was being pulled to the ground. Will Witherspoon picked it off and ran it back 40 yards to give Tennessee a 17-7 late in the first half. Rob Bironas made it 20-7 with a 31-yard field goal in the final minute. Indy rebounded in the second half. Luck opened the third quarter by leading the Colts on a methodical 14-play, 80-yard drive that ended with Delone Carters 1-yard TD run. Luck finished 16 of 34 for 196 yards with one TD and two picks. The game turned when Pat McAfee booted a 52-yard punt out of bounds at the Titans 1 and Vaughn jumped in front of Nate Washington and picked off the pass as he dived into the end zone. All Tennessee could muster after that was a 25-yard field goal from Bironas, while Luck and Vinatieri combined to give Indy the win. "Thats him. Hes resilient," interim coach Bruce Arians said of Luck. "I cant say enough about him because I think thats what separates him from the young quarterbacks is the ability to overcome bad plays." Notes: Reggie Wayne caught six passes for 64 yards and one score, passing Andre Reed for No. 10 on the leagues career receptions list. Reed had 951. Wayne has 956. ... Britt had a season-high 143 yards on eight catches, while Chris Johnson ran 19 times for 44 yards. ... Ballard ran for a season-high 94 yards after the team rushed for only 12 yards in the first half. ... The Titans are 0-5 all-time at Lucas Oil Stadium. ... Indy played the second half without C Samson Satele (ankle) and RT Winston Justice (biceps). ... Titans TE Jared Cook left with a right shoulder injury. cheap jerseys from china .

Defender Andrea Ranocchia scored the winner in the 120th minute on a rainy night at the San Siro with a header from a corner after Bologna goalkeeper Federico Agliardi had fallen over. Colombia playmaker Fredy Guarin had put Inter ahead in the 34th and substitute Rodrigo Palacio doubled the lead in the 77th -- with both goals coming from beyond the area -- before Bologna struck back with two late goals. Italy international Alessandro Diamanti curved a free kick around Inters wall and in off the crossbar in the 80th, and Manolo Gabbiadini equalized with a volley from close range in the 84th. Inter will next face Fiorentina or Roma, who play Wednesday. Serie A leader Juventus and second-place Lazio already advanced in the other half of the draw. Amid a fllurry of action, Ranocchia briefly thought he had scored the winner in the 85th, but his effort was ruled out for offside.dddddddddddd Earlier, Ranocchia had appeared to injure his left foot. In the 110th, Inters 39-year-old captain Javier Zanetti hit the post. "It seemed like it was over after Palacios goal, but thats the great thing about football, you never know," Inter coach Andrea Stramaccioni said. Inter played the final minutes with virtually 10 men, since Antonio Cassano was limping but all three substitutions had been used. "We really showed our character," Stramaccioni said. "I think in the end we deserved to advance." Before kickoff, representatives of both clubs honoured Hungarian coach Arpad Weisz, who guided Inter to one league title and Bologna to two in the 1920s and 1930s. Weisz, who was Jewish, died at the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland during World War II. ' ' '
