The Indianapolis Colts pulled off an amazing comeback against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday in the first game of the AFC playoffs and the results ended up with a 28-point comeback orchestrated by Andrew Luck and made with a deep touchdown strike for the winning touchdown to TY Hilton in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.
The Chiefs have lost some heartbreakers in their history and now this one is sure to go down as one of the worst, as the team was up 38-10 at one point in the third quarter, but Andrew Luck has shown a knack for this magic and did it again in the playoffs. The Chiefs came into the gave losing five of the last seven games and now this punctuates that downfall and it came after the team suffered a number of significant injuries, including to starting running back Jamaal Charles on their first possession of the game as well as Knile Davis, Brandon Flowers and Donnie Avery.
Alex Smith threw four touchdowns, but the game likely turned on the Robert Mathis strip and the Colts had some luck on their side, as Donald Brown fumbled at the goal line and it bounced right into Luck's hands and he was able to bring the ball in for the touchdown. Losing Charles was a huge blow for the team after he sat out the Week 17 finale and now the Colts will advance to play either the Denver Broncos or the New England Patriots depending on who wins the game on Sunday in the matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and the San Diego Chargers.
