INDIANAPOLIS -- A couple of quick thoughts on the Indianapolis Colts' 45-44 win over the Kansas City Chiefs .

What it really means: The Colts created history . They went from looking like they were on their way starting their vacation just after the game to pulling the second-largest comeback in playoff history . The Colts were down 38-10 when quarterback Andrew Luck performed his magic and receiver T .Y . Hilton was on the receiving end on almost all of those passes . Luck shook off three interceptions to go 29-of-45 for 443 yards and four touchdowns . The Colts completed the 28-point comeback when Luck hit Hilton down the middle of the field for a 64-yard touchdown with less than five minutes remaining . Buffalo's 32-point come-from-behind victory over Houston in 1992 playoffs is the largest.


Hilton plays big : Luck deserves a lot of credit for bringing the Colts back – and also for why they fell behind – but he got lots of help from Hilton , his go-to receiver since Reggie Wayne was lost for the season with a torn ACL . Hilton finished with 13 catches for a franchise-playoff record 224 yards , including the game-winning 64-yard touchdown that put the Colts up 45-44 .

Toler leaves the game : Colts cornerback Greg Toler’s day went from bad to worse when he left game with a groin injury in the first half . Toler’s bad game started when he missed tackled Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe twice on a 63-yard reception on their second offensive series . Then former Colt Donnie Avery blew by Toler for a 79-yard touchdown on the third play of the second quarter . Toler left the game later in the quarter with the groin injury . Toler missed seven games during the regular season with a groin injury .

What’s next : The Colts will travel to Denver or New England next weekend depending on the outcome of the Cincinnati-San Diego on Sunday.
