INDIANAPOLIS -- Coming in for the injured Alex Smith, Nick Foles kept the Kansas
City Chiefs on a roll on Sunday.
Vans Old Skool Blancas .Its a job he may have
to hold down a while longer.Foles threw for one touchdown pass each time he
replaced Smith, leading the Chiefs to their third consecutive victory, 30-14 at
Indianapolis on Sunday.Smith left twice after taking hits to the head, once with
a cut on his ear that left him disoriented and the second time with a
concussion.Somehow, the tag-team quarterbacks kept the Chiefs chugging along
against Indys struggling defense.He has a pretty good feel for the offense. Hes
been in it before, coach Andy Reid said. Hes been a Pro Bowl player before. Hes
pretty good.It was a rough game for the Chiefs, who lost Smith twice after hits
to the head and finished the game with Charcandrick West as their only healthy
running back.Smith left on the games opening series, but was cleared by doctors
to return. He left again early in the third quarter after Clayton Geathers
shoved Smiths head to the turf as the quarterback tried to slide underneath the
tackle.Geathers said the hit was not intentional, but the hit left Smith with a
concussion and he did not return.But both quarterbacks got the job done.Foles
14-yard TD pass to Travis Kelce early in the second quarter made it 10-0. Smith
made it 17-7 at halftime with a 13-yard TD pass to Jeremy Maclin, and after
Smiths second departure, Foles hooked up with Tyreek Hill on a 34-yard scoring
pass for a 24-7 lead.Foles finished 16 of 22 for 223 yards with no
interceptions.And this time, the Chiefs (5-2) defense prevented Andrew Luck from
pulling off another comeback -- similar to the previous time these teams met in
January 2014.Luck has three come-from-behind wins this season with Indy (3-5)
and tried to deliver another one Sunday, but couldnt get the Colts closer than
24-14.Luck was 19 of 35 with 210 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, one
fumble lost on a day his top receiver T.Y. Hilton caught only one pass.I
struggled, Luck said. I think every offensive player in the room felt like we
let each other down.SOCIAL MEDIA CONCERNThe social media traffic about the hits
on Smith came from all corners. Some fans questioned whether Geathers
intentionally drove Smiths head into the turf to knock him out of the game.
Former Colts linebacker Gary Brackett wrote on Twitter that whoever cleared
Smith to return should be fired, while the television announcers questioned the
play call because of Smiths previous injury. Even Smiths wife, Elizabeth, piped
in -- questioning how many hits it takes to draw a flag. Smith took several hits
to the head in last weeks game that werent called.TROUBLE WITH TRAVISTravis
Kelce exposed an old flaw in the Colts defense, covering tight ends. The Colts
struggled with that all of last season, and Kelce took advantage again Sunday.
He matched his season high with six receptions in the first half and finished
with seven catches for 101 yards, both season highs.SLOW STARTAfter better
starts each of the past two weeks, the Colts reverted to their old form against
the Chiefs. Not only did they trail 17-7 at halftime, they were lucky it wasnt
worse given that Kansas City had a 4 1/2-minute advantage in time of possession
in the first half, settled for a 33-yard field goal and missed a
28-yarder.INJURY REPORTChiefs: In addition to Smith, starting running back
Spencer Ware missed the second half with a concussion. Ware started in place of
Jamaal Charles , who was inactive because of swelling in his surgically repaired
knee. Left guard Parker Ehinger also left in the second half with a right knee
injury and did not return.Colts: The Colts began the game without three starters
and got hit even harder during the game. Pro Bowl cornerback Vontae Davis and
right tackle Joe Reitz both left with concussions and did not return. Hilton
returned after hurting his hamstring bur wasnt the same. And receiver Phillip
Dorsett sustained an undisclosed injury on the second to last play of the
game.THEY SAID ITChiefs: If we were at all concerned, we wouldnt have put him
back in. Thats the bottom line, Reid talking about the decision to let Smith
return in the second quarter.Colts: We took a step back today, thats obvious,
coach Chuck Pagano said.UP NEXT:Colts: Travel to Green Bay next Sunday.Chiefs:
Host Jacksonville next Sunday.---AP NFL website:

. They were putting most of their energy into a record-setting offensive
display.Centuries from Joe Burns and Steve Smith saw Australia gain the upper
hand on day two of the second Test against New Zealand at Christchurch. Even
though Brendon McCullum blasted the fastest ever Test century off just 54
balls on day one, the tourists were still able to bowl New Zealand out for 370
and opener Burns and skipper Smith shared a mammoth stand of 289 to guide their
side to 363-4 - a deficit of just seven.Burns, who made 170, was imperious in
going to his third Test century and highest score while world No 1 batsman Smith
(138) continues to scale new heights as he struck a 10th ton in his last 32
innings.The pair were brought together in the fourth over of the day after Usman
Khawaja (24) edged Trent Boult to first slip. The left-hander pushed at a
delivery outside off stump and guided the ball straight into the hands of
McCullum.That made it 67-2 and New Zealand thought they had the Australians 77-3
when Burns was given out caught behind off a rising delivery from Matt Henry
with his score on 35.However, Burns reviewed the decision straight away, with
replays showing the ball flicked his bicep and the dismissal was overturned.And
it was all Australia from there as they made New Zealands attack toil on a flat
wicket.There were no further scares for Burns as he brought up his century,
which contained 12 fours, off 191 balls. Look back at Brendon McCullums historic
century from day one Smith survived a run-out scare on 42, where a direct hit
from Henry Nicholls would have sent him back to the pavilion, and also took a
nasty blow to the helmet before tea but he reached three figures off 195 balls
when steering a wide delivery down to third man for his 12th boundary.
Vans Slip On Negras. Both men continued
serenely after reaching their landmarks, with Burns passing 150 for the first
time in his career before his 321-ball vigil came to an end when he hooked Neil
Wagner to square leg.Smith followed in identical fashion in Wagners following
over but Australia saw it out to the close without further damage.Watch live
