Colts Play Pats In AFC Championship Game
(Foxboro, MA) -- The Indianapolis Colts head to Foxboro to face the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game Sunday at Gillette Stadium. It's a rematch of last year's Divisional Round game in New England.
The Pats won that game 43-22 with LeGarrette Blount rushing for four touchdowns and the defense picking off Colts quarterback Andrew Luck four times. New England also won 42-20 at Indianapolis in Week 11 of this season.
The Pats have won five consecutive meetings against the Colts and are 16-4 at home all-time in the playoffs, including 13-and-3 under head coach Bill Belichick. New England rallied past Baltimore 35-31 last weekend to advance, while Indianapolis upset Denver 24-13 after beating Cincinnati in the Wild Card round the week before.
Packers Square Off With Seahawks In NFC Title Tilt
(Seattle, WA) -- The Green Bay Packers head to the Emerald City to go up against the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game Sunday at CenturyLink Field. It's a rematch of the season opener back in September in which the Seahawks began defense of their Super Bowl championship with a 36-16 victory.
Marshawn Lynch ran for 110 yards and two scores in that game. Green Bay got by Dallas 26-21 in the Division Round last weekend to advance with the help of an overturned call on an apparent Dez Bryant catch near the end zone. Seattle handled Carolina 31-17 behind three touchdown passes from Russell Wilson.
The Packers and Seahawks both went 12-4 during the regular season to win the NFC North and West, respectively, and earn a first-round bye.
