Colts Defeat Bengals, Advance In Playoffs

Last updated on Monday, January 5, 2015

(Indianapolis, IN) - The Colts are advancing to the divisional round of the playoffs after a 26-10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Andrew Luck was feeling it through the air as he connected on 31 of 44 passes for 376 yards and a touchdown. Luck spread the ball around to nine different receives, including T.Y. Hilton who reeled in six catches for 103 yards.

On the defensive side, the Colts limited Andy Dalton and the Bengals to just 254 total yards.

Head coach Chuck Pagano talked about the defense's performance saying, "They were outstanding. Pitched a shutout in the second half and I'm really proud of them."

Cincinnati was without top wide receiver A.J. Green but quarterback Andy Dalton said Green's absence didn't effect the outcome and the Bengals were just "outplayed".

The win sets the Colts up with a date against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos next Sunday in the Mile High City. Andrew Luck is 0-2 in postseason road games.
