Luck tosses TD as Colts lead Cincy 20-10

INDIANAPOLIS - Andrew Luck flung 10 straight completions before airing a 36 yard touchdown to Donte Moncrief as the Colts lead the Bengals 20-10 in the third quarter of an AFC Wild Card game on Sunday.

Under a blitz, Luck danced from a would-be sack and stepped into the back shoulder toss as he was tripped from behind, finding the rookie receiver as he broke from two defensive backs to the right side of the end zone.

The 61 yard drive came halfway through the third frame following two Bengals three-and-outs as Luck has outdueled Andy Dalton 298-91, completing 23 of his 35 pass attempts. Daniel Herron has 81 yards through the air and 35 on the ground. T.Y. Hilton follows with 80 yards receiving for Indy.

The Colts have outgained the Bengals 351-170. Cincinnati has suffered offensively as wide receiver A.J. Green and tight end Jermaine Gresham are both out with a concussion and back injury respectively.

Herron and Jeremy Hill rushed for touchdowns in the first quarter before the Colts added two field goals and the Bengals a third as Cincinnati seeks their first playoff victory in five attempts since 1991.
