DENVER - Andrew Luck displaced Peyton Manning in Indianapolis, and now he might have sent his predecessor into retirement, too.Manning was murky about his future following Denvers 24-13 loss to the Colts in the AFC divisional round Sunday, the Broncos first loss at home in 13 months.After saying last month that he planned on coming back for an 18th season, the five-time MVP wasnt so certain after his latest playoff fiasco.I guess I just cant give that simple answer, Manning said. Im processing it. So, I cant say that.Luck, the top pick in the 2012 draft following Mannings tearful divorce from the Colts, has Indy one win away from its first Super Bowl since 2009. And hes not the least bit surprised the team has gone from 2-14 in 2011 to the cusp of a conference championship in three short years.I think there were high expectations, Luck said. I remember the first day I walked in the building. Its a winning franchise and it seems to be in the DNA of the Colts that you win.The Colts (13-5) visit New England (13-4) Sunday.Its good for us to be here now, but theres more work to do, Luck said. To come on the road against a very good team in this round of the playoffs and get a win, thats huge and thats awesome.This was the third time Denvers season ended in ugly fashion since Manning switched teams in 2012.While Manning ponders his future, GM John Elway might also be thinking about coach John Foxs status. Hes won four straight AFC West crowns but keeps coming up short in what he calls the real season.Im the head coach, the buck stops here, Fox said.Manning got off to another terrific start this season but once Julius Thomas sprained an ankle and lost his mojo, the Broncos werent the same, either. Manning, bothered by a thigh injury, had just three TDs and six interceptions in December.Yet, C.J. Andersons emergence gave the Broncos (12-5) confidence they finally had the ingredients to avenge last years wrenching Super Bowl loss to Seattle. That grinding ground game didnt show up Sunday. Neither did their star-studded defence that was unable to pressure Luck all afternoon.Luck threw TD passes to Dwayne Allen and Hakeem Nicks and Daniel Herron ran for a score.Manning, meanwhile, kept overthrowing Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas deep.You never see Peyton overthrow guys, Colts defensive tackle Jean Francois said. He usually puts the ball right on the numbers. And when we he kept overthrowing it, we knew we had him.The seasons over. Its a huge disappointment, said Sanders. Its sad because we definitely had the potential to be a Super Bowl-winning team.Other takeaways from Denvers second home playoff loss in three years coming off a first-round bye:SWEET VINDICATION: This win validated Jim Irsays decision to cut Manning so he could draft Luck.I knew it was the right thing to do for the Colts, Irsay said. I saw Archie (Manning) last night. We had a nice conversation. Happened to be at Elways Restaurant at the Ritz Carlton. It was a decision that it was the right move to make. Peyton and I had talked about it. He said it best in the press conference. I didnt decide. He didnt decide. The football gods laid the cards out. We both knew it as best for him and us.PLAYOFF PRATFALLS: The Broncos were the AFCs only unbeaten team at home and the only team in the NFL with a top-five offence and a top-five defence. But Manning has gone one-and-done in the playoffs a record nine times.Each of his three seasons in Denver has ended in humbling losses, to the Ravens and Colts at home after first-round byes, and to Seattle in last years Super Bowl.This was one of his worst playoff performances ever. He never found a rhythm, constantly overthrew his receivers and finished 26 of 46 for 111 yards, one TD and no interceptions.Its just disappointing, Manning said. Everyone would like to win their last game of the season.LUCK vs. MANNING: Its now Luck 2, Manning 1.Manning lost his emotional homecoming in 2013 but beat his former team 31-24 in the opener this season.Luck completed 27 of 43 passes for 265 yards with two TDs and two interceptions or sacks in the rubber match.We needed to win the game for us. It wasnt about Peyton or Andrew or anything like that, Irsay said.BRING ON BRADY: The Colts can relish beating Manning but come Monday, its time to start thinking about how to knock off Tom Brady.Everybody we play is big time, safety Mike Adams said.It wasnt so much Brady who led the Patriots to a 42-20 win over Indy on Nov. 16. It was Jonas Gray, who ran for 201 yards and four touchdowns. He ran for just 80 yards the rest of the season and was inactive for New Englands 35-31 win over Baltimore Saturday.DEFUSED Defence: Elway doled out $60 million in guarantees last off-season to sign Aqib Talib, T.J. Ward and DeMarcus Ware, and none came up big against the Colts.The first round of the playoffs turned into the last game of the season, Talib said. Thats as bad as it gets.Notes: There were no significant injuries. ... Luck improved to 5-1 in temperatures 40 or below. ... Manning fell to 2-4 following a divisional bye.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Wholesale Air Jordan 6 Australia .

VIRGINIA WATER, England -- Rory McIlroy put aside the anguish in his private life to win the European Tours flagship BMW PGA Championship on Sunday. The double major winner came from seven shots back at the start of the final round to shoot a 6-under 66 and win by 1 stroke with an overall 14-under 274 on the Wentworth course. It was McIlroys first European Tour success since December 2012 and ends a run of eight second-place finishes in 11 events this season. Shane Lowry of Ireland came second with a round of 68 for a 13-under 275. Denmarks Thomas Bjorn (75) shared third place on 12 under with Englands two-time BMW PGA winner Luke Donald (70). McIlroys 12th victory worldwide comes four days after the 25-year old Northern Irishman confirmed the breakdown in his relationship with Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki. McIlroy had been close to tears on Wednesday when talking to the media. He was still subdued Sunday despite his victory though he hugged his father Gerry and long-time coach Michael Bannon. "I guess when I got inside the ropes this week, it was a little bit of a release, and I was on my own and doing what I do best, which is playing golf, and that sort of gave me four or five hours of serenity or sanctuary or whatever you want to call it," McIlroy said. "I was just focusing on the job at hand which was to play golf and get the ball in the hole in the lowest number of shots possible ... Its obviously been a week of very mixed emotions, but Im sitting here looking at this trophy going, How the hell, how did it happen this week? But it did." It was McIlroys first success since coming from behind to win Decembers Australian Open in Sydney. He heads into next months U.S. Open as a strong contender to win the event for a second time in four years. "The win at the end of laast year in Australia sort of stopped all the questions about equipment and about struggling and slump and all this stuff," McIlroy said.dddddddddddd "But to win here, against a great field, one of the best fields of the year, especially in Europe sort of cements that, and shows where my game is and Im on the right track again. Hopefully, it wont be long before Im contending in majors and having a chance to win those again." Lowry went into the last day some five shots behind third round leader Bjorn but found himself in front when Bjorn took a triple bogey 7 at the par four No. 6. After three birdies in a row from the 10th, Lowry had his own troubles in taking a double bogey at the par four 13th. However, the former Irish Open and Portugal Masters winner regrouped to birdie the 14th and, while he dropped a shot at the next, the 26-year-old Lowry holed a 30-foot birdie at the last to secure second place on his own. "Im happy but I know I am going to be sitting in my hotel room tonight and the 13th hole is going to be going through my head," Lowry said. The 43-year-old Bjorn went into the last day with history on his side as no player had lost at this European Tour event after leading by five shots. By the ninth hole Bjorn had forfeited his advantage -- taking a bogey at No. 5, triple bogey at the sixth where he failed to get out of a greenside bunker in regulation, and dropping a further shot at the ninth. The Dane birdied the 12th but was in trouble again with bogeys at Nos. 14 and 15 before birdies at the next two holes in an eventual round of 75. "Its a disappointment when you come off the golf course like this," Bjorn said. "I just didnt get it right today and I made that massive judgment error on six and that kind of let everybody back into the frame." ' ' '
