A trip to the AFC Championship will be on the line when the Denver Broncos host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday evening. The biggest focus of the game will undoubtedly be the quarterback match-up as Peyton Manning will face his former team and successor, Andrew Luck, for the third time.

Manning finished the regular season with another strong stat line, albeit one that is off by his standards. Peyton threw for 4,727 yards and 39 touchdowns, down significantly from his 2013 totals (5,477 yards and 56 touchdowns). Receivers Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders still put forth excellent campaigns, accumulating 1,619 and 1,404 yards, respectively. The duo scored a combined 20 touchdowns, with tight end Julius Thomas notching an additional 12.
In Indianapolis, there might not be a more important player to his team than Luck. The Colts have made the playoffs in all three of Luck’s seasons and have reached the Divisional round for the second straight year. Luck has thrown for more than 300 yards in each of his last three postseason games, the second-longest streak in NFL history.
The matchup to watch will be Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware against Indianapolis' poor offensive line. Miller had 14 sacks this season and Ware followed with 10, although he only has one in the last six games. The pass-rushers will be up against Anthony Castonzo and Joe Reitz, with Reitz replacing Gosder Cherilus who was placed on injured reserveentering the playoffs.
