LANDOVER, Md. — Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III were both impressive Saturday as the Washington Redskins beat the Indianapolis Colts 30-17 in a matchup of the top two picks in the NFL draft.
No. 1 selection Luck completed 14 of 23 passes for 151 yards and a 31-yard touchdown to fellow rookie T.Y. Hilton for the Colts (1-2).

ARLINGTON, Texas — Tony Romo threw for 198 yards with two long touchdowns to Dwayne Harris while playing only the first quarter, and Dallas beat St. Louis.
In what was supposed to be Romo’s most extensive action of the preseason, he showed more than enough to coach Jason Garrett in three offensive drives, even with his top three pass-catchers hurt and not playing.
SAINTS 34, TEXANS 27
NEW ORLEANS — Matt Schaub and Drew Brees looked sharp in a high-scoring first half, and Joe Morgan’s touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter lifted New Orleans over Houston.
Schaub completed 15-of-18 passes for 194 yards and a touchdown, but three turnovers by Houston (2-1) helped the Saints (2-2) stay close despite two fumbles of their own.
STEELERS 38, BILLS 7
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Receiver Antonio Brown scored two touchdowns and led Pittsburgh to a preseason rout of Buffalo.
RAIDERS 31, LIONS 20
OAKLAND, Calif. — Matthew Stafford threw for 68 yards until leaving with an injury to his nonthrowing hand in Detroit’s loss to Oakland.
Defensive end Dave Tollefson drove Stafford to the ground after an incomplete pass in the second quarter. Team trainers wrapped Stafford’s left hand in heavy bandages and a brace on the sideline.
