Andrew Luck says RG3’s coming-out party never crossed Luck’s mind. We wonder whether RG3 is paying attention to Luck’s home opener.

Luck has completed 11 of 17 passes for 146 yards and two touchdowns, pushing the Colts to a 17-6 lead over the Vikings at halftime.

Most impressive from Luck was a late drive engineered just before intermission, capped by a 30-yard touchdown throw with seven seconds left to Reggie Wayne, who got behind a pair of safeties who should have been defending the goal line. (Then again, maybe they were.)

Adrian Peterson has eight carries for 41 yards for the Vikings, and Christian Ponder has completed eight of 10 passes for 60 yards.
