INDIANAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings owned the fourth quarter, but Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri had the last word. Vinatieri kicked a 53-yard field goal with eight seconds left to give the Colts a 23-20 win over the Vikings on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. It was the first win for Colts coach Chuck Pagano and rookie quarterback Andrew Luck. For Luck, it was a late-game win reminiscent of former Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. The Colts' winning drive came after Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder had led Minnesota to two touchdowns in the last 10 minutes of the game to tie it 20-20 after the Colts had led most of the way. "We'll never apologize for winning, no matter how we get it done,"? Pagano said. "We fought and found a way to win it. The future Hall of Famer (Vinatieri) came through in the clutch."? Luck hit 20-yard passes to wide receivers Donnie Avery and Reggie Wayne in the final 30 seconds to set up Vinatieri's fiel...

The Indianapolis Colts (1-1) rebounded from their shaky opening-day performance to beat the Minnesota Vikings in their home opener, 23-20.

Kuharsky's notes on Colts-Vikings

Via The Colts Authority  |  September 17, 2012
Paul Kuharsky of ESPN says that he loved Luck's pocket presence and mobility during the Vikings matchup, among other notes.  What I liked: Luck is just fantastic on the move, whether it’s a relatively small step up or slide over or a big rollout or run away from pursuit. Obviously he cannot lose 22 yards trying to run out of a late sack and has to surrender at times. But...
