Today at 1 p.m. ET, the Cincinnati Bengals and Indianapolis Colts clash in NFL playoff action as part of Wild-Card Weekend live from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The game can be live streamed here.
Cincinnati finished with a 10-5-1 record and placed second in the AFC North while Indianapolis closed out 2014 with an 11-5 mark and won the AFC South for the second straight year.
The Colts blanked the Bengals 27-0 in Week 7 action on Oct. 19.
The quarterback matchup will see Andy Dalton under center for the Bengals as he tries to prove he can win on the big stage after a successful season while the Colts will counter with third-year signal caller Andrew Luck, who is coming off of an impressive season.
Dalton went 309-for-481 for 3,398 yards in the regular season with 19 touchdowns while Luck was 380 of 616 for 4,761 yards and 40 scores.
Dalton will be without one of his best targets as A.J. Green is ruled out with a concussion after leading the team with 1,041 receiving yards off of 69 catches and adding six scores.
On the ground, the Bengals are paced by Jeremy Hill, who had 222 carries this past season for 1,124 yards while finding the end zone nine times.
Luck's best weapon this season has been T.Y. Hilton, who had 82 catches for 1,345 yards and found the end zone seven times this season. Reggie Wayne (groin) said he will be 100 percent for this contest and is another great option for Luck.
Trent Richardson paced the ground game for Indy this season, rushing for 519 yards on 159 carries and adding three scores.
The NFL playoffs continue when the Bengals visit the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium this afternoon.
