Observed and heard in the locker room after the Colts' 20-13 victory over Baltimore.
Friendly fire: The Indianapolis Colts did themselves few favors, finding ways to keep things interesting. Ahmad Bradshaw fumbled on what should have been the final series of the game, giving Baltimore one last chance to tie the score. And Andrew Luck forced a pass to the goal line when the Colts could have taken a 14-point lead, throwing an interception that Baltimore turned into a field goal. "We found a way to win the game despite ... some friendly fire," coach Chuck Pagano said, "so I'm really proud of the guys." Overall, the Colts had two interceptions, two lost fumbles and six penalties for 83 lost yards.
Luck unhappy: Luck was pleased with his team's third consecutive victory, of course, but not with his own performance. He threw two interceptions, the second one a forced throw to the goal line that he should have eaten at the end of the third quarter. Instead of taking a 20-3 lead, the Colts allowed the Ravens a field goal that reduced their lead to 13-6. "Stupid, stupid interception," he called it. "Glad we could survive that." Luck finished 32-of-49 for 312 yards and one touchdown, with a rating of 72.8. "We obviously made it tougher than it had to be with the mistakes I made and the mistakes by the offense," he said.
See you Thursday: The Colts are back in action at Houston on Thursday in a matchup of the co-leaders of the AFC South (both 3-2). "That's the NFL for you," cornerback Vontae Davis said. "There's no 24-hour rule on this one." Added Pagano: "We're going to enjoy this for about two minutes."
Escaping injury-free: The Colts suffered "no injuries to talk about," according to Pagano.
