HOUSTON — A year ago at this time, Andrew Luck was at home struggling with an injured shoulder that cost him the entire season. On Saturday, he wrote a happy ending to the latest chapter of his comeback season, throwing for 222 yards and two touchdowns as the Indianapolis Colts raced out to a big first-half lead, then cruised to a 21-7 win over the Houston Texans in the A.F.C. wild-card game. Luck put on a show in his hometown, in a stadium where he had attended games throughout childhood and played in since high school, throwing for 191 yards and two touchdowns before halftime to help the Colts (11-6) build a 21-0 lead. He denied feeling “at home” at NRG Stadium but admitted to having warm feelings for the city he grew up in, where his grandparents and many friends still reside.
