DENVER -- The Indianapolis Colts have given the Denver Broncos fits in recent years.The Colts (0-1) head into a Sunday game against the Broncos (1-0) having won eight of the past nine meetings, including three of four with Andrew Luck.The fifth-year quarterback came back impressively from a lacerated kidney that prematurely ended his 2015 season, throwing for four touchdowns and nearly 400 yards in the Colts season-opening loss to the Detroit Lions.The last couple of years they came in here and beat Denver in the playoff game and then beat us last year, Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said. Its the same team pretty much, so weve got a lot of respect for them. Offensively, they probably have as many weapons that well see all year long, and then defensively, theyll give you a lot of trouble protecting the quarterback.Said Broncos running back C.J. Anderson: They got our number, to be honest.The Colts upset the Broncos in the playoffs two years ago and ended the Broncos 7-0 run to start on Nov. 8 last season, though Denver went on to win the Super Bowl. However, it was also Lucks last game of 2015 after being hit simultaneously by two Denver defenders in the open field, injuring his kidney.Denvers hard-charging defense was at the center of the teams championship season last year, and from the looks of it, not much has changed early on this season. As the Broncos did in their Super Bowl win over Carolina, the pass rush repeatedly got to Cam Newton in a season-opening win over the Panthers, hitting, hurrying or knocking Newton down over the course of the game.Their aim is to apply similar pressure Sunday in hopes of slowing Luck, though the aggressive tactics could draw more scrutiny from the officials after linebacker Brandon Marshall and safety Darian Stewart each were hit with league-imposed fines for helmet-to-helmet collisions with Newton.We play hard, Kubiak said. Were going to continue to play hard.Colts coach Chuck Pagano said his squad knows what it is up against in trying to protect Luck from linebackers Von Miller, the Super Bowl MVP, and DeMarcus Ware.Those guys are relentless pass rushers, Pagano said. We understand exactly what we have to do to keep Andrew clean and keep him upright and give him a chance to operate.The Colts, meanwhile, have shown some vulnerability on defense, where they have been hurt by injuries, especially in the secondary.They will be working to stall the development of Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian, who helped the Broncos win their opener in his first career start. Despite throwing a couple of interceptions, Siemian spearheaded the second-half rally that carried the Broncos past the Panthers, throwing for a score and leading a drive that Anderson finished with a short touchdown run.Were just using that as a building block and getting ready for Indy, Siemian said.Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas had some limitations in practice in the days leading up to the Indianapolis game because of a hip injury, though he was expected to play.Were going to take it a step at a time this week, Kubiak said Wednesday. We knew today we had him set for certain plays in practice, and tomorrow well pick it up, but hes on course to make it on Sunday and be ready to go.Denver wide receiver Bennie Fowler, who missed the opener last week after breaking a bone in his right elbow during a preseason game, did not practice Wednesday. Tight end Jeff Heuerman (hamstring) took part in practice in limited fashion. He did not play in the opener.The banged-up Colts listed 13 players on the injury report. Among them was cornerback Patrick Robinson, who is recovering from a concussion, and safety T.J. Green, who missed practice time this week because of a knee injury.The Colts depleted secondary also is missing cornerback Vontae Davis, who has been dealing with an ankle injury that forced him to miss the opener.Everybodys dialed in, Pagano said. Its going to be one heck of a challenge. We all know that.Its a great football team that were going to play. Weve got to handle the elements, the travel, the altitude, the time change. We all know that. But the good thing is that weve got guys in the locker room who have been down this road, they understand this. That stage and all that stuff wont be too big for them. Weve got to do a great job of preparing and getting these guys ready to go in all three phases.Terrell Edmunds Jersey .

Alejandro Villanueva Jersey .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury.A meeting between F1 team bosses, Bernie Ecclestone and the FIA in Bahrain has ended without agreement on what format the sport should use in qualifying.A new meeting will be held on Thursday to discuss a fresh proposal.Sky Sports understands that the proposal on the table involves a system of aggregate times being used in Q1, Q2 and Q3, with Pirelli providing extra sets of tyres. So the new suggested qualy format apparently involves aggregate times, a word that should only be associated with Tarmac and concrete, tweeted Sky F1 pundit Martin Brundle. Not F1.Have your say: Vote for the format youd like used in qualifying According to Red Bull boss Christian Horner, race promoters and the FIA are reluctant for the sport to return to the format used last season.The bottom line is if we dont agree to a compromise then we are stuck with what we have got and I think everyone agrees that what we currently have isnt right, Horner told Sky Sports News HQ.Weve got a proposal on the table to vote on by Thursday and hopefully we can find a sensible conclusion that gives the right thing for the fans. Claire Williams revealed to Sky Sports News HQ that one of the new proposals for teams to consider was not the 2015 system, or a hybrid of 2015 and 2016s rules, but a completely new format.This is a whole new proposal, the last one was a hybrid that kept the 2016 Q1 and Q2 then brought in 2015 for Q3, she said.I think most people felt that wouldnt achieve what we wanted it to achieve so coming up with a totally revised proposal was the goal for everyone and that is what that meeting was about this morning.Why was qualifying unchaanged for the Bahrain GP?FIA president Jean Todt refused to give any details as to what the new proposal was, but hoped it would satisfy fans.ddddddddddddYou need to be patient, by Thursday you will have all the information, he said. I hope that fans will be happy.
