Luck fires Colts to stunning win

A stunning comeback sent the Indianapolis Colts through to the next round of the NFL play-offs at the expense of the Kansas City Chiefs as the post-season got off to a thrilling start.

The NFC offered a wild card clash that was almost as intriguing, with the New Orleans Saints taking a 26-24 win away from the Philadelphia Eagles to set up a mouthwatering tie at top-seeded Seattle Seahawks on Saturday.

In the first of yesterday's games, the San Diego Chargers dominated the Bengals in Cincinnati to set up a visit to the Denver Broncos next Sunday. The Chargers took a scrappy 27-10 win back to California, having trailed at half-time 7-10.
