The opening round of the National Football League playoffs commenced on Saturday with two games.
At Indianapolis:
In an American Football Conference opening-round game, Andrew Luck threw for four second-half touchdowns and another one on a fumble return as the Indianapolis Colts overcame a 38-10 third quarter deficit and upended the visiting Kansas City Chiefs 45-44. T.Y. Hilton caught 13 passes for 224 yards and two touchdowns for the Colts.
At Philadelphia:
Drew Brees overcame a two-interception first half and threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Lance Moore, while Mark Ingram (who ran 18 times for 97 yards) ran four yards for another score, and newly-signed Shayne Graham kicked four field goals---the game winner from 32 yards as time expired---as the New Orleans Saints won a road playoff game for the first time in the club's 47-year history, 26-24 over the Philadelphia Eagles in a National Football Conference opening-round contest. The Saints will travel to Seattle for an NFC divisional playoff with the Seahawks next Saturday.
