The Indianapolis Colts have been rusty a few times coming off of bye weeks and heading into playoff games but this year might be different.

The Baltimore Ravens got revenge against a team they lost to earlier in the season in the Wild Card round. They won’t be doing the same in the divisional round as they make a trip to Indianapolis.
The big concern in Indianapolis all week – for the last three weeks, really – is how the Colts will perform after basically treating the final two games of the season as pre-season scrimmages. Is the momentum gone for good, or will the rest that Peyton Manning & Co. received in the final two games of the regular season be the key ingredient Saturday night?
