• American football:
  • National Football League divisional playoffs:
    • AFC: Indianapolis Colts 15, Baltimore Ravens, 6. Adam Vinatieri's post-season record tying five field goals puts the Colts into the AFC Championship Game in their ancestral home. The Colts' defense had another solid game, forcing four turnovers and holding the Ravens to 87 rushing yards. Ray Lewis has 15 total tackles for Baltimore.
    • NFC: New Orleans Saints 27, Philadelphia Eagles 24. The Saints, who put up 208 rushing yards, go on top on two second-half Deuce McAllister touchdowns. New Orleans wastes a chance to put the game away when Reggie Bush botches a pitch from Drew Brees, but a costly penalty forces the Eagles to punt with less than two minutes left. Three more McAllister runs clinch the victory and the first conference-championship appearance in Saints history.
