INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis may finally have the kind of defence that can complement its offence, and Andrew Luck likes it. After throwing two touchdown passes and watching the Colts suddenly dominant defence score its own TD in Saturday nights 27-6 victory over Cleveland, Luck explained the best part of the night for him was standing on the sideline as the Colts defence went to work. "Theyve been opportunistic, theyve been getting their hands on balls," Luck said. "They were a pain in the butt to go against in practice, and its fun to see them play this way out here." When coach Chuck Pagano took the Colts job last year, he promised to improve the usually maligned defence. Now, the Colts are finally beginning to show what they can do. Over the last two weeks, Indy has not allowed a touchdown. Before leaving early in the third quarter Saturday, the starting defence limited Cleveland (2-1) to four first downs and just three plays in Colts territory, one of those being a punt. They forced two turnovers, including Larry Asantes late 48-yard interception return for a score, and harassed Browns quarterbacks all night long. Cleveland never even made it into the red zone. "Its very exciting to see guys humming around, having fun and getting the job done at the same time," five-time Pro Bowler Robert Mathis said. Saturday nights performance also was a drastic improvement over what Colts fans witnessed in this same venue two weeks ago, when Buffalos rookie quarterbacks EJ Manuel and Jeff Tuel dinked-and-dunked their way to a 44-20 victory that drew the ire of Irsay. Of course in that game, most of Indys starters exited before the end of the first quarter. This time, Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden had to contend with a very different lineup. Pro Bowl safety LaRon Landry made his preseason debut against the Browns, and linebacker Pat Angerer was on the physically unable to perform list against Buffalo. Having both back marked the first time this preseason the Colts had their entire starting unit on the field at the same time. The result: Weeden went 12 of 25 for 105 yards just four days after coach Rob Chudzinski chose him as the starter for the regular season. There were drops, turnovers and penalties. Trent Richardson carried seven times for 31 yards, but the rest of the Browns managed only 28 yards rushing. Cleveland didnt even get on the scoreboard until Weeden took them on a 48-yard drive -- against the Colts backups -- that ended with Shayne Grahams 50-yard field goal late in the third quarter. And all this from a team that had beaten the Rams and Lions by a combined 51-25. "We can learn a lot of things from this game. A game like this is good, because you can get an assessment of where youre at," Chudzinski said. "They played very well on defence, and by the same token, against good football teams, playoff-calibre teams, you just cant make mistakes." Luck, meanwhile, had no trouble. Despite losing starting right guard Mike McGlynn (bruised knee) in practice this week and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (right knee) on the games opening series, Luck still managed to go 16 of 25 for 164 yards with one interception and ran four times for 20 yards. He opened the game by taking Indy on a 46-yard drive to set up Adam Vinatieri for a 32-yard field goal, and two series later, capped a 66-yard drive by finding fullback Stanley Havili for a 3-yard TD pass to make it 10-0 midway and hooked up with a wide-open T.Y. Hilton for an 8-yard TD catch to make it 17-0. Cleveland futilely played catch-up the rest of the night, and scoring ended, fittingly, on Asantes interception return. "They had played two really good football games and they looked impressive running the football, and Brandon Weeden had thrown the football," Pagano said. "Its a confidence builder, a big psychological boost for our guys." Notes: Pagano said Castonzo had a sprained medial collateral ligament and will undergo an MRI. Indy also lost receiver Nathan Palmer with a sprained knee late in the game, and Palmer also will have an MRI. ...

David Bolland scored the winner midway through the third period as Toronto downed the Senators 3-2, but the focus was on Pageaus play after the Ottawa loss. Pageau nearly gave the Senators a 3-2 lead on a short-handed breakaway moments before Bollands goal. "When you have a good chance like that you dont want to miss it," said Pageau. "The goalie made a good save but hopefully the next one will go in." Bolland scored on a backhand at 10:25 of the third period to send the Leafs (2-0-1) to victory. Nazem Kadri and Mason Raymond had the other Toronto goals. "I thought we came out pretty flat and werent at our best in the first, but we came out and I thought we were pretty good the rest of the way," said Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf. "It wasnt a full line up for both teams and (training camp) is about getting in shape. "Its an adjustment for the young guys and its an adjustment for the older guys. Its about timing but I think overall we played well. " Fredrik Claesson and Andre Petersson replied for the Senators (2-1-0) while Patrick Wiercioch had two assists. Pageau also made an impact with his physical play. After a hit along the boards, Torontos Nazem Kadri and Pageau traded punches. Pageau was assessed a double minor, while Kadri wasnt penalized. "I was a little bit surprised," said Pageau. "It was a clean hit and we both exchanged some punches so I dont know why I got the double minor." Pageau had two goals and four points in nine regular season games with Ottawa last season, and added another four goals and six points in 10 playoff games. Earlier this month he was the leading scorer in a rookie tournnament featuring the Senators, Maple Leafs, Chicago Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins.dddddddddddd. Thursday was Pageaus first pre-season game and he finished with over 14 minutes of ice time and four shots on goal in his bid to convince Ottawas coaching staff he deserves to stay with the big club. Hes got at support from important corner: newly minted captain Jason Spezza. "Im really a fan of Pageau," said Spezza. "I think he creates a lot out there, he has great hockey sense, he competes. Hes a little guy but hes always going to the dangerous areas and hes definitely putting his best foot forward." Jonathan Bernier started in goal for the Leafs but was replaced by Drew MacIntyre who played the final two periods. Both were appearing in their second game of the pre-season. Craig Anderson made his pre-season debut for the Senators and played the opening two periods for the Senators while Nathan Lawson got into his second game of the pre-season by working the final 20 minutes. The teams entered the third period tied 2-2 following a second period that saw three goals in the final five minutes of the period, including two by the Leafs 19 seconds apart. While on their second power play of the game, the Leafs finally got on the scoreboard as Kadri beat Anderson at 15:33. While that goal was being announced, the Leafs took a 2-1 lead as Raymond found the back of the net behind Anderson. It looked as though the Leafs would head into the second break with the lead but Wiercioch found Petersson cutting into the middle of the ice and the rookie beat MacIntyre with a back hand from the slot. Claesson scored the only goal of the first period as his slapper from 10-feet inside the blue line somehow eluded Bernier and went in off the crossbar. ' ' '
