INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts have a bad case of the terrible Ts.In Week 1, they couldnt tackle. In Week 2, they let two takeaways result in immediate touchdowns. And now, for the third consecutive season, those problems have left the Colts in a 0-2 hole.We had a lot of opportunities that we didnt take advantage of, coach Chuck Pagano said Monday, less than 24 hours after Indys 34-20 loss at Denver. Still at the end of the day, you get the ball back with 1:51 to play, you have a chance to go down the field and win the football game.Instead, Super Bowl MVP Von Miller has an almost free shot at Andrew Luck, knocks the ball loose and Shane Ray scoops it up for a 15-yard TD return. Game over, again.Of course turnovers are a point of emphasis in every NFL locker room.In Indianapolis, its something theyve made a concerted effort to fix since they started planning their offseason program.A year ago, Luck threw 12 interceptions and lost a fumble in just seven games and was on pace to easily shatter his previous career high for interceptions (18), set during his rookie season 2012.Through the first seven quarters of the season, Luck was virtually flawless taking care of himself and the ball.Hed thrown it away when necessary, slid when it was wise, ran out of bounds when possible and avoided making big mistakes.All that changed Sunday, with the Colts trailing 16-13 early in the fourth quarter. Luck took a chance by trying to squeeze the ball into Frank Gore only to see Aqib Talib undercut the route, pick it off and run 46 yards for a touchdown.After the game, it was one of the plays Pagano said the Colts would like to have had back and one Luck was still lamenting Monday.We had a chance in the fourth quarter to go and get a win and we didnt make it happen, he said. So credit to the Broncos for making it happen on their end. We just have to capitalize on more opportunities.While the Colts refused to let that momentum-swinging play take them completely out of the game, the miscues that followed certainly did.After trimming the deficit to 26-20, the Colts battered defense couldnt prevent Demaryius Thomas from stretching for a first down on third-and-11, forcing the Colts to burn their last two timeouts before giving the ball back to Luck and the offense, trailing 26-20.But with Miller running flat out, Luck never had a chance to set up or protect the ball before it was jarred loose.Obviously, the plan is dont let that guy wreck the game, Pagano said. We gave the help and did the things we were supposed to, and he made a phenomenal play, he made a great play. Thats why hes who he is.Now, after two miserable weeks of poring through game tape of what went wrong, Indianapolis is looking for solutions.The good news on defense is key players could return to practice Wednesday and could play next weekend San Diego (1-1). That group includes defensive end Henry Anderson (knee surgery), cornerbacks Vontae Davis (ankle) and Patrick Robinson (concussion) and safeties Clayton Geathers (foot) and T.J. Green (sprained right knee).Offensively, the Colts could try to explain that they were not at full strength against perhaps the best defense in football. Starting receiver Done Moncrief (shoulder) left in the first half and right guard Denzelle Good (back) left late in the game. Both are scheduled to have MRIs on Monday night.But thats not something the Colts will do.Nope, theyre going to back to work and trying to figure out how to clean things up by eliminating the turnovers.We had a chance sort of at the end of the game and we made just enough plays to hang in there against a very good team, Luck said. We didnt make the plays when it counted though.Game notes Pagano also said cornerback Antonio Cromartie (shoulder) should be all right and outside linebacker Trent Cole (back) will continue to be evaluated on a daily basis. Cornerback Darius Butler is listed as week to week with a grade 1 sprain of his right hamstring. ... Indy also made a change on its practice squad, releasing cornerback Tay Glover-Wright and signing outside linebacker Deiontrez Mount.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Fake Jerseys For Sale . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.

ST. LOUIS -- Some changes might be coming to the forward lines of the St. Louis Blues for Saturday nights game against the visiting Los Angeles Kings.The Blues scored one goal in four of their last five games, including a 2-1 shootout loss Thursday night to the Detroit Red Wings. In both of their home losses this week, their only goal was scored by defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk.I think weve got to look at everything right now, said coach Ken Hitchcock. Weve got to look at combinations, whats working, whats not working, what we need to get more from. You cant keep living on scoring chances. Youve got to finish at the end of the day.St. Louis recorded 32 shots on goal against the Red Wings, but that total did not impress Hitchcock.Were scoring one goal and getting points, thats incredible, Hitchcock said. Thats a hell of a feather in these guys cap, to score one goal and get points. Youre going to have to score more goals and have to finish your chances. I dont think were creating the second and third chances that we normally do. The scoring chances seem to be one and done right now.Center Paul Stastny believes the Blues are just going through a slump, which could end at any time.Sometimes you just need that bounce, Stastny said. It happens throughout the season; we just have to dig deep and create chances to get out way out of it..ddddddddddddYouve got to try to create your own bounces sometimes when its tough to score. We know what were capable of and what we can do.The Kings, meanwhile, will bring a different kind of streak into the game. They defeated the Nashville Predators 3-2 in overtime at home on Thursday night to mark their fourth consecutive win in overtime or a shootout.Having that kind of success in so many overtime games is unusual, Los Angeles knows. The winning streak came after the team lost its first three games this season.Big saves and scoring on your opportunities, said center Jeff Carter, who scored the overtime winner Thursday night. Thats really all it is. ... You start with possession, youve got a good chance. ... Really, what it comes down to is getting a save from your goalie and burying your opportunities. Theres not much to it.All the wins came behind Peter Budaj, who replaced injured Jonathan Quick in goal. Two of the wins came by scores of 4-3 and the other two by 3-2 scores.Hes played really well for us, said coach Darryl Sutter of Budaj. We dont give up much and expect that he make -- youve got to make some big saves, obviously, in the National Hockey League, but we dont give up a lot of shots. ' ' '
