BALTIMORE (AP) -Adam Vinatieri set an NFL postseason record with his 33rd career field goal Saturday, his fourth of the game for the Indianapolis Colts against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. Vinatieri broke the record held by Gary Anderson, who kicked 32 field goals in 22 games. Vinatieri has played in 19 games for New England and Indianapolis. He kicked three last week against the Kansas City Chiefs. Vinatieri connected on kicks of 23, 42, 51 and 48 yards Saturday. The record-setting kick came with 10: |

| (MySportsbook) - M&T Bank Stadium will be filled with many memories and emotions on Saturday when the Baltimore Ravens host the Indianapolis Colts in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs. Baltimore was once home for the Colts, who left town for Indy in the middle of the night in March 1984. Then-owner Robert Irsay was responsible for the move and much of the hatred Ravens fans have for the Indianapolis franchise. Irsay's son, Jim, took over for his late father and will make his fourth trip back to Balt |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - If the Indianapolis Colts, San Diego Chargers, and Chicago Bears win their Divisional Round games this weekend, expect the celebrations to be restrained. Not that fawning hour-long documentaries are ever made about teams that see their postseason roads closed in the conference Championship Game, nor are euphoric parades thrown for such teams. But more so for the above than for any other of the eight remaining clubs, a win on the second weekend in January would bring a sense of |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The Indianapolis Colts downplayed the similarities between Joseph Addai and Edgerrin James for as long as they could. They might need a new tactic to ward off any more comparisons. In Addai's first career start last week, he rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown against Kansas City and looked remarkably like, well, James. His next task is proving he can perform just as well against Baltimore's stout defense in this week's divisional-round playoff game. ``When we looked at what we do, |

Baltimore's pass rush has been a key facet of the league's No. 1 ranked defense, and should be a significant part of the game plan in Saturday's playoff matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. When Colts quarterback Peyton Manning drops back in the pocket, he can expect pressure from Pryce or Suggs. Or maybe both. Between the two of them, Pryce and Suggs accounted for more than a third of Baltimore's team-record 60 sacks this season.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -Jim Irsay has almost everything an NFL owner could want. The Indianapolis Colts' All-Pro quarterback is still in his prime, two receivers are headed to the Pro Bowl and there's a budding star at running back. They've reached the playoffs seven times in eight years. The financial future looks equally bright: There's a new stadium under construction and an expanding season-ticket list. Yes, Irsay has grown comfy in his Indianapolis digs. But Irsay has one other wish - that 23 years after |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The Indianapolis Colts have not lowered their expectations. They still envision a Super Bowl title next month. Yet the Colts, burdened by a sieve of a run defense and an unimpressive final seven games of the regular season, entered the playoffs as more of an outsider than a championship contender. Judging by their performance in their postseason opener, that might be a very good thing for Peyton Manning and his team. Not that they will ever go unnoticed as long as the premier quarterback |

| LLS, Md. (AP) -The Baltimore Ravens won a franchise-record 13 games this season because their offense provided sufficient support to the league's top-rated defense. They hope to implement the same formula Saturday in their playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts. After yielding at least 100 yards rushing in each of their 16 regular season games, the Colts stacked the line of scrimmage last weekend in an effort to stop Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson. The strategy worked perfectly: Johnson wa |
