Welcome to the 2015 NFL playoffs wildcard round! The Cincinnati Bengals and Indianapolis Colts will do battle on the turf at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana on Sunday, January 4 at 1 p.m. EST for the third game of the wildcard round. It's Andrew Luck against Andy Dalton, so read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of Sunday afternoon's game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.
Kicking off first Sunday afternoon game of the 2015 NFL playoffs, the AFC South champion Colts will look to quarterback Andrew Luck to propel them to the second round of the playoffs. The Bengals, meanwhile, will be relying on quarterback Andy Dalton and superstar wide receiver A.J. Green to push them past the Colts and to the Divisional round of the playoffs.
The Bengals and Colts sit right next to each other near the top of Matt Miller's official NFL power rankings for The Bleacher Report, with the Colts hanging at the No. 8 position with 11 wins and 5 losses,, while the Bengals sit 9th with their 10-4-1 record.
In his power rankings Miller says that the Bengals are "an intimidating team. The combination of A.J. Green, Jeremy Hill and Gio Bernard will scare most teams, and the Bengals aren't afraid to throw out crazy plays with Mohamed Sanu and Andy Dalton, either. Defensively, they've been inconsistent in the secondary but can be good enough to make plays and have big games.
"The playoffs-for the fourth year in a row-come down to Dalton's ability to make plays in the postseason. The Bengals have never missed the playoffs with him as quarterback, but they've also never won a playoff game. "
As for the home team Colts, Miller says "they don't have the look or feel of a team ready to make noise in the postseason.
"The strength of the team-quarterback Andrew Luck and his weapons in the passing game-are good enough to keep the Colts alive in any game, but Luck has also gone through a bit of a slump the last month of the season and must cut down on his turnovers and missed chances if the Colts are to beat the Cincinnati Bengals."
"Beating the Bengals on Wild Card Weekend will go a long way in legitimizing the Colts."
With Luck and Dalton doing battle to get through to the divisional round of the NFL playoffs, this will be a game not to miss.
The game will be broadcast live on CBS, but fans can also listen in on the radio or stream the broadcast at WFNI 1070 The Fan, WGCL 96.1FM, Colts Radio, 102.5 WDVE, and WBGG-AM ESPN 970.
