President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the Marlins. The move came as the team neared the end of its third consecutive last-place season in the NL East. INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck missed T.Y. Hilton on one critical play Sunday. The Colts quarterback didnt make the same mistake again.On his second chance, Luck threw a perfect strike to Hilton with 1:17 to play, and the Pro Bowl receiver spun out of a tackle and zig-zagged 63 yards down the field to give Indianapolis a 26-22 victory over San Diego.Just 35 seconds earlier, Luck tried the same play with Hilton on fourth-and-7 but an off-target throw forced Hilton to spin around for an 8-yard catch on fourth-and-7. The next time, Luck got it right.It was the same sort of play and I kind of missed him, Luck said, referring to the fourth-down throw. So I came back to him and this time I hit him in stride.Hilton took care of the rest.Its the second time on Lucks home turf that he has led the Colts (1-2) to a go-ahead score in the waning seconds. But, unlike the season opener two weeks ago, the Colts recovered two fumbles in the final 62 seconds to preserve the victory.Luck finished 24 of 37 for 331 yards with one TD and one interception to earn his 15th career come-from-behind win.No, he wasnt flawless. But when it mattered most, Luck excelled with the two big plays to Hilton.Philip Rivers got two chances to win it. The first ended when Pro Bowl safety Mike Adams recovered a fumble with 62 seconds left. The second ended when linebacker DQwell Jackson covered the bouncing ball on the Chargers last gasp desperation play.Rivers was 26 of 39 for 330 yards.You have to put teams away when you have opportunities to do it or make the plays earlier in the game, Chargers coach Mike McCoy said. We didnt do that for four quarters. We have to make those plays.STILL WAITINGChargers defensive end Joey Bosa practiced in pads for the first time this week. The No. 3 overall draft pick still has not made his NFL debut. After showing up following a prolonged contract holdout, Bosas return was set back by a hamstring injury. Now the question is how much longer will the Chargers keep him out?DIGGING OUTIndy stilll hasnt started 0-3 since 2011, when Peyton Manning missed the entire season with an injured nerve. Air Max 97 Premium Homme. How big was this win? Since the current playoff format took effect in 1990, only five 0-3 teams have made the postseason and nobody has done it since the 1998 Buffalo Bills.STRANGE DAYSOn what was supposed to be the final play of the game, the Chargers had no punt returner so they could send everyone to block Pat McAfees kick. McAfee pooched it inside the Chargers 20-yard line where the Colts downed it. One problem: The refs called illegal touching, giving San Diego an untimed play. Afterward, Pagano explained the Colts werent allowed to touch it until the refs blew the ball dead.THEY SAID ITChargers: Rivers on the unsportsmanlike conduct call he drew after a 43-yard completion put San Diego at the Indy 6: Thats the most unfair penalty Ive ever gotten. Ive never gotten one like that. Ive never gotten one for really doing nothing. It maybe was the cleanest thing said on that field today and he (the official) was 30 yards away. From what I hear, it looked like nothing on the TV, but I dont know.Colts: Coach Chuck Pagano on his thoughts as Hilton broke the tackle: Probably like you guys, too much time on the clock. If youre going to score, dont score so fast.INJURY REPORTChargers: Linebacker Manti Teo came in as San Diegos leading tackler, but left in the first quarter with an Achilles tendon injury and did not return. The injury occurred when he appeared to plant his left leg while chasing Gore into the flat. McCoy said Teo will undergo tests Monday morning to confirm the initial diagnosis.Colts: The Colts played most of the game their regular starters on the right side of their offensive line. Guard Denzelle Good (back) was inactive and Reitz (back) left during the first half.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
