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 .

DORTMUND, Germany -- Borussia Dortmund beat Sporting 1-0 on Wednesday to advance to the knockout stage of the Champions League despite leaving top striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang out of the team.Wearing a stylish coat and a fedora hat, Aubameyang watched from the stands and saw his backup, Adrian Ramos, score the only goal in the 12th minute of the Group F match.Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel said Gabon striker Aubameyang was left out for internal reasons, adding that internal is internal and refusing to give details. Club chief Hans-Joachim Watzke also declined to give details but said Aubameyang would be back in action at the weekend.The decision came yesterday afternoon and now the matter is settled. He will be back at the weekend, Tuchel said.Hell be fresh and rested in Hamburg, Watzke said.Dortmund already was missing a half dozen players through injuries and was coming off three straight draws in the Bundesliga.Aubameyang had scored a goal in each of the previous three group matches. But Ramos had three goals in six previous Champions League appearances that totaled 97 minutes.The header from Ramos was enough to put Dortmund through to the round of 16. Dortmund now has 10 points from four matches in the group and leads Real Madrid, which surprisingly only drew 3-3 at Legia Warsaw and has eight points. Sporting has three and Legia one.Sporting remained winless in Germaany, with 12 losses in 13 matches.dddddddddddd It also lost 2-1 to Dortmund at home two weeks ago.Ramos scored from the first chance of the match, rising over Paulo Oliveira to connect with a cross from Matthias Ginter and send a looping header into the upper right corner.Sportings Gelson Martins came close twice. After some neat passing, Martins broke into the box but goalkeeper Roman Buerke came off his line to foil the speedy forward. In his second attempt, Martins connected with a cross but Marc Bartra blocked his shot.Christian Pulisic hit the crossbar for Dortmund after swapping passes with Mario Goetze and Raphael Guerreiro had a great opening but hit the side netting with the last shot of the first half.Andre Schuerrle forced Sporting goalkeeper Rui Patricio into a diving save from a free kick in the second half, while Bryan Ruiz headed high from a good position in the Dortmund box.It was a very, very long match, said Tuchel, who spent much of it screaming instructions to his players and gesticulating wildly.We couldnt really control it, we lost possession too easily. Sporting played with courage and we tried different formations. But the main thing is we are through, Tuchel said.Aubameyang left the match a few minutes before the whistle.
