INDIANAPOLIS — Andrew Luck passed for 376 yards and a touchdown, and Adam Vinatieri kicked four field goals, leading the Indianapolis Colts to a 26-10 AFC playoff victory against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday in Lucas Oil Stadium.

Indianapolis (12-5) advances to the AFC divisional playoffs and a rematch with No. 2 seed Denver on Jan. 11.

Vinatieri’s fourth field goal — a 22-yarder with 11:31 to go — gave the Colts a commanding 26-10 lead against the Bengals, who finish 10-6-1, losing their ninth consecutive playoff game, saddling quarterback Andy Dalton with an 0-4 record in NFL postseason play.

Dalton finished 18 of 35 for 155 yards as the Bengals took the field without top two receivers A.J. Green and tight end Jermaine Gresham.

The Colts dominated the third quarter, extending a 13-10 halftime lead to 23-10 entering the fourth quarter.

Luck capped a six-play, 61-yard drive with a 36-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Donte Moncrief with 7:40 remaining in the period, giving Indianapolis a 20-10 lead. Luck finished 31 of 44 for the aforementioned 376 yards.

Vinatieri’s 22-yard field goal with 1:31 to play in the third quarter gave the Colts a 23-10 advantage. That Colts drive was 10 plays, 53 yards.

The Colts received the game’s opening kickoff and drove 71 yards in nine plays, taking a 7-0 lead with 11:05 remaining in the first quarter on Daniel Herron’s 2-yard run.

Cincinnati pulled even at 7 with 1:28 to go in the first quarter on Jeremy Hill’s 1-yard run, which capped a nine-play, 74-yard drive.

Indianapolis regained the lead at 10-7 on Vinatieri’s 38-yard field goal with 12:41 remaining in the second quarter. That Colts drive covered 71 yards in 11 plays.

A Vinatieri field goal from 29 yards with 8:34 to go in the half extended Indianapolis’ lead to 13-7. That time, the Colts moved 53 yards in six plays.

The Bengals climbed to within 13-10 at halftime on Mike Nugent’s franchise postseason record 57-yard field goal with 10 seconds remaining in the second quarter. That kick also was Nugent’s season long, which until Sunday was 49 yards.

Luck completed 16 of 27 first-half passes for 219 yards. Dalton completed 11 of 16 opening-half attempts for 91 yards. The Colts out gained the Bengals 263-156.

Herron lost one fumble and the team recovered another, but he led the Colts with 56 yards on 10 carries and also had a team-high 10 receptions for 85 yards.
