I have a breakfast/brunch tomorrow morning which will interrupt my play off watching, thank freak for IQ on Foxtel.

Ha! These 2 weeks of Sunday playoff games are brilliant. Perfect times for the games as well. Kicking off at 8.30am is ideal.

I'd keep away from this thread until you've caught up in real time!

Niners 23. Packers 20

Bengals 34. Chargers 24

Eagles 34. Saints 31

Colts 28. Chiefs 21

Good luck all.

I'll be going a little later so shoul get first Half live.

Excellent drive by KC. Hope Charles gets back.

Yeah and Luck just does 7/7 for 74yrd drive and TD.

Alex Smith...wow, just wow!

Terrible drop by Richardson - now 24-7 and we've just started the 2nd quarter!

Alex Smith having a good one

Yeah that was seriously bad.

Charles out for the game. Lucky Davis played well last week and us doing well today.

The Charles hit didn't look that bad either - maybe when his head hit the ground? Doesn't seem to be effecting KC's scoring ability though.

Yeah they said in the broadcast the medicos believe it is when his head hits the turf.

Have they ever done a study on amount of concussions on artificial turf opposed to grass?

KC are smashing Indi all over the place. Colts will need a big solid first possession in the second have and hold KC to try and get them selves back in the game.

Yep, agreed. Dominant first half by KC. Alex Smith has been super impressive and Andy Reid's influence stands out. KC look really well prepared.

Luck and the Colts have a habit of big comebacks but will the Chiefs let them?

Will keep this brief:

• Charles - unbelievable. Such an innocuous fall. To lose a guy who will likely be the MVP runner-up in the first couple of minutes of a playoff game is so, so cruel. Maybe he's faking it and we're resting him for Denver though.
• Maybe it's my pessimism (ably backed up by Charles' injury and the fact we haven't won a playoff game in 20 years), but I don't consider this over. Negative cues I'm wary of: a Davis fumble, Mathis starts to get loose, Indy protects the ball and moves it consistently, putting points on the board.
• I used the injuries as an excuse on here in the earlier game against San Diego and to a lesser extent a couple afterwards, but Houston and Hali make our D work. We're seeing that today.

Luck us choking. Another interception, the opposite of what I wrote.

And there's the TD. Game over.

Game on and there's plenty of time.

KC need to score on this drive. 38-24 currently

Another turnover leads to a KC field goal. 41-24.

That might be a telling 3pts gained there by the Chiefs.

Wow, what a drive (and finish to the drive with the fumble recovery!) by Luck...

Game on indeed now!

Colts hit the lead - unbelievable! 45 - 44. Been a terrific game despite the turnovers.

If Luck gets them over the line here, it will be yet another huge comeback win. Still hoping for a KC win despite not picking them.

Smith needs to get them in field goal range (at least) That's a good start ...

Can someone please tell me how much we won by? I just got back from booking airfares and tickets to NY for the Superbowl.

Devastating result for KC. Wow what a comeback.

Injuries cruelled you and not having Charles late in the game was a major influence on the ultimate result. Still should have won though. However, we at least know that Luck and the Colts have done this sort of thing on a number of other occasions.

If Bowe had somehow got his right foot in bounds on that last drive, you probably win. Fine line. Your team had a terrific year, all the same. Especially from where you were coming from.

What a shock!

Injuries killed KC, but still you shouldn't lose from that far up.

Philly game is not exactly living up to what I was expecting.

Saints getting on top now. Philly have only scored once in nearly 3 quarters - they need to get a hurry on.

20-7 after that TD.
