PRO FOOTBALL : Colts Stifle Browns With a New Look : AFC: Indianapolis unveils no-huddle offense in 23-10 victory over Cleveland.

Jack Trudeau is finally feeling comfortable as the Indianapolis Colts’ starting quarterback.

With highly paid Jeff George missing 36 days of training camp in a contract dispute, Trudeau opened the season as the starter and has held the position despite George’s return.

On Sunday, Trudeau completed 22 of 38 passes for 260 yards as the Colts unveiled a no-huddle offense and beat the Cleveland Browns, 23-10.

Trudeau led the Colts on a 65-yard drive in the fourth quarter that ended with a six-yard touchdown run by Anthony Johnson and gave Indianapolis a 16-10 lead with 3:14 left.

The Colts (2-1) added another touchdown when Cleveland quarterback Vinny Testaverde fumbled and Jeff Herrod fell on the ball in the end zone with 1:19 left.

“The no-huddle allowed me to get a better feel for what they were doing, and I had more time to make a change if I needed to,” Trudeau said. “We’ve been working on it since training camp and decided on it Wednesday after practice.”

Testaverde, who led the Browns (3-1) to a victory over the Raiders last week, completed nine of 16 passes for 127 yards in relief of Bernie Kosar, who completed four of eight passes for 53 yards and was sacked twice.

“Obviously, no player likes to not be playing,” Kosar said. “It was disappointing. I felt in the first half things happened a little out of my control. But the quarterback has to bear the burden and responsibility of other things happening against you.”

Testaverde, who was sacked three times and had one pass intercepted, gave the Browns a 7-6 lead on a 10-yard touchdown pass play to Brian Kinchen midway through the third quarter.

A 26-yard field goal by Dean Biasucci, his third of the game, put the Colts ahead briefly, but a 46-yard pass play from Testaverde to Mark Carrier set up a 32-yard field goal by Matt Stover on the first play of the final quarter.

Stover missed a 52-yard attempt on the Browns’ next possession, and the Colts drove from the Cleveland 35 for the go-ahead score.

The key plays on the winning drive were passes of 19 yards to Johnson, 11 yards to Jessie Hester and 10 yards to Roosevelt Potts to get the Colts to the six.
