Seattle will be at Chicago Sunday, and New England will visit San Diego.

The Baltimore-Indianapolis contest will be the first post-season game between the teams since the Colts left Baltimore following the 1983 season. Saturday's meeting will feature a match-up between the Ravens' outstanding defense and the offensive skills of Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning.

The Colts will be trying to reach the AFC Championship game for just the second time in Manning's nine-year career in Indianapolis.

New Orleans will be trying to continue one of the NFL's biggest stories of the year. The Saints, after playing all their games away from home in 2005 because of Hurricane Katrina, will enjoy a loud home-field advantage Saturday night after winning the NFC South title.
