Breaking Down Wild Card Matchups If Season Ended Today - Bleacher Report

If you would have said before the season that the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens would be playing in an AFC wild-card matchup in 2012, most would have called you crazy. Now it's looking more and more like a certainty. 

With nine wins, the Colts likely need only one more over the final three to lock up the No. 5 seed. The Ravens, on the other hand, have lost two straight games and appear headed for the No. 4 seed. 

The potential matchup would have storylines galore. Colts head coach Chuck Pagano, who could return by the end of the season from a battle with leukemia, is a former Ravens defensive coordinator. Jim Caldwell, recently promoted to offensive coordinator in Baltimore, was the Colts head coach from 2009 to 2012. 

The playoff-tested Ravens would be expected to win at home, but these Colts have made the impossible possible all season long.
