Colts
Wild-card D-light
So much for Indianapolis' run defense ranking dead last in the NFL, and it was a great time to hold its first opponent to under 100 yards on the ground. The Colts held Kansas City to 44 yards rushing, didn't surrender a first down for the first 2½ quarters of the game, and advanced to the divisional playoffs round with a 23-8 victory over the Chiefs. Not only did Indy stop the run, but the offense used the run to control the game. Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes combined for 190 yards on 38 carries to overcome a three-interception performance by Peyton Manning. However, Manning still threw for 268 yards and the clinching 5-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne in the fourth quarter. The Colts will now advance to play the Ravens in Baltimore on Jan. 14 in the divisional playoffs. "Our defense was awesome today," Manning said. "We made some mistakes and the defense made sure we didn't pay for it."
Ravens
Wait and see
The Ravens have done just about everything they could to secure a top playoff spot and a shot at the Super Bowl. That quest won't begin for at least another week, however, as Baltimore defeated the Bills 19-7 last week to secure a first-round bye. The Ravens will instead try to get some rest, build their game plan and wait to see who they'll be playing. As the No. 2 seed in the AFC, Baltimore will face the highest seed to advance this weekend. So a matchup with the No. 6 Chiefs is not a possibility, but if the Colts win that game, the Ravens will face Peyton Manning and company. If the Chiefs win, Baltimore will square off with the winner of the Jets-Patriots game. Whoever makes it to Baltimore will have to deal with a squad that is well-rested and motivated to come up with a Super Bowl run.
