Playoff football in December



Peyton Manning
Peyton Manning's Colts lost to Miami 17-14 on Nov. 26.
The Colts' playoff push moves to Miami on Sunday when they meet the AFC East-leading Dolphins. Indianapolis kept its postseason hopes alive with Monday night's rout of Buffalo, despite its inability to get the ball to Marvin Harrison. ESPN's Mark Malone believes the Colts' receivers will have a tougher time getting open against the Dolphins' press coverage. Miami can clinch a playoff berth with a win or tie.
