With the San Diego Chargers pulling off an upset victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, we now know who the New England Patriots will play on Saturday night: the Indianapolis Colts.
The Colts, of course, pulled off one of the greatest and most improbable comebacks of all-time against the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday. The Patriots and the Colts have not faced off against each other this season, which is in itself somewhat of a strange occurrence so it's only fitting that these two will face off in the Divisional Playoffs.
Last year, the Patriots ran over the Colts 59-24. But these aren't the same Colts.
The Colts have an improved offensive line, a better defense, and an emerging star at wide receiver in T.Y. Hilton. And, oh yeah, that Andrew Luck guy has looked pretty good.
Two teams with a rich rivalry and storied playoff history. It's going to be a great week. Schedule and broadcast information is below:
Game Time: Saturday, January 11th at 8:15 PM ET
