INDIANAPOLIS -- The Houston Texans are heading home with a lot more than a second straight victory at Indianapolis.Theyre atop the AFC South, again, and in control of their own postseason fate, again, if they keep finding ways to win games.What they did Sunday to snap a three-game losing streak and position themselves for a second straight AFC South title was rely on a proven old-school formula -- run efficiently, force turnovers and let the defense close it out.We have a mindset -- every game is a playoff game, Lamar Miller said after rushing for 107 yards in the 22-17 victory. When we came in (to practice) Monday, you could tell by the energy in the locker room.Right now, everything seems lined up for Houston even though theyre tied for the AFC South lead with Tennessee.Of the three division teams still in contention, Houston has the easiest schedule remaining. It also has a season sweep over the Titans and now its first season sweep of the Colts (6-7). Houston has won nine straight against division foes, tied with Kansas City for the longest active streak in the league.But after snapping a three-game losing streak by winning its second straight on Indys home turf, the Texans know theres still not a lot of margin for error.Its what we talked about, coming here and winning the game, Jadeveon Clowney said after his strip-sack of Andrew Luck on third-and-goal from the 3-yard line snuffed out a scoring chance late in the third quarter. We now control our own destiny.The Colts, meanwhile, must rely on help after Luck was picked off twice, lost the fumble and couldnt put enough points on the board on a frustrating day that left players battered and their playoff hopes severely bruised.It is not what we all anticipated and what we were working for but it didnt work out, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. Sometimes that is just how life goes. You dust yourself off, you pick yourself up and you keep moving forward.Here are some other things we learned from Sundays game:GOLDEN OLDIESColts kicker Adam Vinatieri extended his NFL record of 100-point seasons to 19 and set a franchise record with his ninth 100-point season since joining the Colts in 2006. Indy running back Frank Gore ran for 41 yards and had 33 yards receiving, including an 18-yard TD catch, passing Terrell Owens (16,185) for No. 11 on the NFLs career list for yards from scrimmage. Gore has 16,217 yards.Houston linebacker Brian Cushing had six tackles to give him 639 in his career, three more than previous franchise record-holder DeMeco Ryans. Texans punter Shane Lechler also surpassed former Colts and Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning with his 267th game played.GROUND AND POUNDThe city that once featured the high-octane run-and-shoot offense may go more frequently with the ground-and-pound style to win their second straight division crown.Houston rushed for 185 yards against the Colts and it could be the playbook of the future. After Brock Osweiler was picked off in the first half to end a scoring chance, Houston ran on 10 of its next 12 plays, capping the drive with Millers 2-yard TD plunge.REGRRESSIONThe Colts season largely has been a case of a couple of steps forward and a couple more backward. This week was a perfect example.After dominating the New York Jets on Monday night, the Colts scored one first-half field goal and didnt even come close again until early in the third quarter when a 41-yard defensive pass interference set up Gores score on a screen pass. Indys only other score came on a 35-yard TD pass to T.Y. Hilton early in the fourth.DEFENSIVE DIFFERENCEAfter missing last weeks game at Green Bay and being limited in practice earlier this week, Clowneys return made a difference. He finished with three tackles and one sack, but came up big when it mattered most with the strip sack on the goal line and pressuring Luck into an errant throw on fourth-and-1 from the Texans 42-yard line with 1:24 left to seal the win.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL .

During last nights game he tweeted: "Hello? Can we get a one-way ticket to (minor-league) Hamilton for David Desharnais please. WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- To boo or not to boo.Thats the question Winnipeg Jets fans will be asking themselves if defenseman Jacob Trouba skates out on the ice as expected Tuesday evening at the MTS Centre against the Dallas Stars.The restricted free agent finally put his name on a contract after sitting out the first part of the season, a two-year deal that will pay him $2.5 million for the remainder of the campaign and $3.5 million for 2017-18.Its something were very excited to be able to announce today, Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said in Monday afternoon conference call. Obviously, lots of work goes into these kinds of things. Having the opportunity to meet with Jacob. His representative (agent Kurt Overhardt) and I have constant dialogue for a long period of time and today we were able to come to terms.Some early speculation had the Jets trading Trouba to a U.S.-based team. Trouba, who was not made available to the media on Monday, had demanded a trade after complaining during the summer about not being able to play his natural right-hand side on Winnipegs crowded blue line.The Jets have compiled a 5-7-1 record during his absence and werent feeling much pressure to sign the 22-year-old because other youngsters, notably Josh Morrissey, had stepped into the void.The Stars come into Winnipeg with a record of 4-5-3, but get the tie-breaker over the Jets because they have played one fewer game. The two teams have split their first two games of the season, a 3-2 victory by the Stars in Dallas on Oct.dddddddddddd. 25 and a 4-1 win two nights later in Winnipeg.The Stars are playing their fifth contest in eight nights and coach Lindy Ruff said his biggest priority is finding time for his players to rest.To let them pour it all out for 60 minutes and then making sure, as a coach, that we dont overextend away from the game, Ruff said. Its going to be a mental grind, and I have to do a good job once that games over, whether its good or bad, to get them away from it.The clock was ticking for Trouba. If he didnt sign a contract prior to Dec. 1, Trouba wouldnt have been able to play in the NHL all season and he would have lost an entire year toward his eventual unrestricted free agency.Trouba will be a sight for sore eyes considering the sore bodies currently in the Jets sick bay. No less than seven regulars have been out of the lineup, including defensemen Tyler Myers and Mark Stuart and forwards Mathieu Perreault, Shawn Matthias, Bryan Little, Drew Stafford and Joel Armia.The Stars have some injury woes of their own, most recently center Jason Spezza, who went down with a lower-body ailment on Saturday night.After initial concern that he could be out of the lineup for a lengthy period, he has since been upgraded to day-to-day. Center Ales Hemsky will be out several months after having hip surgery. ' ' '
