JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Inspiration one week, domination the next. The Indianapolis Colts became the latest to hammer the Jacksonville Jaguars at home, winning 27-10 on Thursday night behind rookie quarterback Andrew Lucks two rushing touchdowns. Darius Butler returned an interception for a score as the Colts (6-3) won their fourth consecutive game and snapped a three-game losing streak in the series. The Jaguars (1-8) have lost six straight, their worst start in franchise history. The Colts had cause for concern following an emotional victory four days earlier, one in which cancer-stricken coach Chuck Pagano delivered a passionate, postgame speech in the locker room. Interim coach Bruce Arians was worried the team might crash from the emotional high. Not even close. Indianapolis scored on three consecutive possessions in the first half, opening up a 17-0 lead that started emptying the stands at EverBank Field. "This win was huge," Luck said. "We wanted to keep our winning streak going. Jacksonville got us earlier this year. We didnt want to go 0-2 against a team. This is a good step in the right direction, but no one looks back at the fact that you were 6-3 in the middle of the season. Its what we do at the end of the season." Coming off an NFL rookie record 433 yards passing against Miami, Luck wasnt quite as sharp in his prime-time debut. He didnt need to be, either. Luck completed 18 of 26 passes for 227 yards, with an interception and a fumble. But he was unstoppable near the end zone, juking defenders with two pump fakes and scrambling for a 5-yard score on one drive and then plunging across the goal line on fourth down on the next possession. That was plenty against the Jaguars, who have the leagues worst offence and played a third game without star running back Maurice Jones-Drew. Jacksonville has lost every game since a come-from-behind victory at Indianapolis. Blaine Gabbert hit Cecil Shorts III for an 80-yard touchdown in the final minute, stunning the Colts. There was no drama in the rematch. The Colts essentially sealed the victory when Butler stepped in front of Gabberts pass in the flat and went untouched for an 11-yard score early in the third quarter. "It was an anticipated thing," Butler said. "It was something I had seen those guys do on film, so I was ready for it and jumped in front of him. I knew they wanted to get the ball out quick. I was ready for it and went for it. A great feeling." Indianapolis became just the third road team to win on Thursday night this season, and just the fifth in the last two seasons. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said before the game that the league is analyzing whether home teams on short weeks have a distinct advantage. It certainly would help any road team to play in Jacksonville. The Jaguars have been outscored 153-44 at home this season, on the wrong end of lopsided losses to Houston, Cincinnati, Chicago and Detroit. Against Indy, nothing seemed to go Jacksonvilles way. Marcedes Lewis, Rashad Jennings and Shorts dropped passes early. Josh Scobee missed a 44-yard field goal attempt, snapping a streak of 20 consecutive makes. The Jaguars had an interception overturned by a roughing the passer penalty on Terrance Knighton, keeping alive a drive that ended in a touchdown. They also were on the losing end of two reviews. "Were trying to overcome ourselves," coach Mike Mularkey said. "We have to overcome ourselves. When we do that, well start winning games." The mistakes kept coming, too. Laurent Robinson fumbled at the end of a 9-yard gain, getting the ball stripped by Moise Fokou. Officials initially ruled Robinson was down, but the call was overturned on review. That turnover led to Indys second touchdown and prompted Mularkeys meltdown on the sideline. Mularkey lost his cool when officials refused to acknowledge his pleas for a review on Lucks fourth-down TD plunge. Luck appeared to fumble the ball as he crossed the goal line. All scoring plays are reviewed, so Mularkey couldnt challenge, but he seemingly wanted officials to take a longer look at the scoring play. He whipped his play sheet and headset onto the field, drawing a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct. "I lost my composure because of it," Mularkey said. "I knew it was going to be reviewed. I certainly thought the review would see what everybody else saw." Players followed his lead, getting flagged for five more 15-yard penalties. Knighton, centre Mike Brewster, safety Dawan Landry, defensive end Andre Branch and receiver Justin Blackmon all drew flags. The Jaguars finished the night with 10 penalties for 115 yards. "Thats not going to be who we are," Mularkey said. "Theres no way were going to be that way. We will not be that type of team. We will be a disciplined team, well be a smart team and we will be a physical team. But we will not be that team thats going to have personal fouls. It will stop." Trailing 17-0, Mularkey wanted to go for it on fourth-and-4, but Gabbert bobbed his head and was flagged for a false start. Mularkey settled for a field goal. Gabbert completed 18 of 31 passes for 209 yards, with an interception. He left the game in the fourth quarter after re-injuring his left, non-throwing shoulder. He could have returned, but Mularkey decided to keep him on the bench with the score out of hand. Shorts caught six passes for 105 yards and a touchdown, a 4-yarder from backup Chad Henne. Robinson finished with nine receptions for 77 yards. "Were so close but so far at the same time," Gabbert said. "We get drives going and we have to make a play and we havent done that. We definitely didnt do that tonight." Notes: Colts DT Drake Nevis injured a hand. ... Colts hadnt won four straight since closing the 2010 regular season. ...

PARIS -- Novak Djokovic rallied from a set down to beat fellow Serb Viktor Troicki 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 and reach the Paris Masters quarter-finals on Thursday. Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Tomas Berdych, David Ferrer of Spain and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France also advanced. The top-ranked Djokovic looked a pale shadow of the player who dominated the first half of the season, making 44 unforced errors compared to 28 winners. "Its obvious that Im still not playing in the form that I had in the last 10 months," said Djokovic, who returned to action last week in Basel after a six-week injury layoff. "It takes a little bit of time to get into the rhythm." Djokovic dropped serve twice to lose the first set to Troicki. But he broke for a 4-2 lead in the second, and levelled the match when Troicki sent a bakchand wide. The Wimbledon and U.S. Open champion then raced to a 4-0 lead in the final set. Djokovic will next play Tsonga. Murray routed Andy Roddick 6-2, 6-2 and will next face 2005 champion Berdych, who beat Janko Tipsarevic 7-5, 6-4. The second-seeded Murray improved his record to 17-0 since the U.S. Open and has won 27 of his last 28 matches since mid-August. Murray outclassed Roddick, hitting 27 winners compared to only four for the American. He broke Roddick twice in each set, taking the first with a crosscourt forehand winner before clinching victory with an ace. "I started the match well, which against him is always important, because he plays his best when hes ahead," Murray said. "Because I broke him earlier, I was able to dictate a lot of what happened out there." Roddick received a warning from the chair umpire at 2-0 in the second set after smashing his racket out of frustration. Roddick will finish the season outside the top 10 for the first tiime since 2001.dddddddddddd. "I just need to get in better shape as far as movement, and kind of catch up a little bit," Roddick said. The fifth-seeded Berdych trailed 5-1 in the first set and 4-1 in the second, but fought back both times to clinch his spot in the eight-man ATP World Tour Finals. His victory meant Tsonga and Mardy Fish also secured spots in the season-ending tournament in London, with Tipsarevic missing out. Tipsarevic made two double-faults in a row to set up match point for Berdych. Federer downed Richard Gasquet of France 6-2, 6-4 to next meet Juan Monaco of Argentina. The third-seeded Swiss broke serve twice in the first set and took a 4-3 lead in the second on a double-fault from Gasquet before clinching victory with a forehand winner. Meanwhile, fourth-seeded Ferrer ousted Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine 6-3, 6-2, and the sixth-seeded Tsonga defeated Andreas Seppi of Italy 6-3, 6-4. Ferrer will take on American John Isner, who beat Feliciano Lopez of Spain 6-4, 6-2. A double-fault from Seppi gave Tsonga a 2-0 lead and the Frenchman took the first set with a forehand winner. The 2008 champion then broke for a 4-3 lead in the second, winning the match when Seppi netted a forehand. Fish was leading 6-1, 6-7 (6), 2-1 against Monaco when a left hamstring injury forced him to retire. Fish received treatment in the final set but was forced to quit after playing one more point. "I started feeling it probably late in the second set," Fish said. "It went from sort of tightness and an uncomfortable feeling to, in that last game that I served, a lot more pain, a lot sharper." The injury was a recurrence of his hamstring problem from the Swiss Indoors in Basel last week, but Fish still plans to play in the tour finals in London. ' ' '
