2015 NFL playoff bracket: Colts advance to face Broncos
It’ll be Andrew Luck vs. Peyton Manning next week.
With the Cowboys rallying to beat the Lions, here is a look at the bracket heading into the Divisional round.
*****
The first of Sunday’s two playoff games is in the books, with the Indianapolis Colts taking down the Cincinnati Bengals by a score of 26-10. The win gives the Colts a season sweep of the Bengals, who they beat 27-0 in Week 7.
The Colts advance to take on the well-rested Denver Broncos and their star quarterback Peyton Manning next weekend. That game will mark the second time the two teams have played this season. In the first matchup, the Broncos narrowly defeated the Colts, 31-24, in Denver.
Cincinnati was one of three teams from the AFC North to qualify for the postseason. On Saturday, the Baltimore Ravens beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 30-17, at Heinz Field.
The Ravens now take on the No. 1 seed New England Patriots at Foxborough. The Patriots earned the top seed with a 12-4 regular season that saw Tom Brady become a viable MVP candidate.
