2010 AFC Championship Game Time and Location Set

The 2010 AFC Championship Game time and location has been set. The 2010 AFC Championship Game time will be 12:00 P.M. PST (3:00 P.M. EST) on Sunday, January 24th. The Indianapolis Colts earned the right to host the 2010 AFC Championship game by knocking off the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night, and will see their game aired on CBS next weekend. The Indianapolis Colts came into the 2010 NFL Playoffs with the best record in football, and will host one more playoff game in this post season. Their opponent will be either the New York Jets or San Diego, depending on who wins the other Sunday AFC Divisional Playoff game.

The Indianapolis Colts finished the regular season at 14-2, and there was a lot of talk about them possibly being a cold team entering the playoffs because of the way they finished the 2009 regular season. After the Indianapolis Colts clinched the #1 seed throughout the playoffs in week 15, their head coach took out the starters mid-way through their week 16 game. They ended up losing that one, and then lost again in week 17 as the starters were kept out of most of the game. Then the Colts had a week off because of their first round bye, and it was unknown whether they would be able to come out strong on Saturday against the Baltimore Ravens. Well they could have been better on offense, but the Colts defense really clamped down on both the running and passing game for the Ravens.

In a game that many thought could be more competitive, the Indianapolis Colts beat the Baltimore Ravens 20 to 3 on Saturday night. It sends the Indianapolis Colts to yet another AFC Championship Game, with the team and their fans hoping that this year can duplicate the effort that won them the Super Bowl just a few years ago. Peyton Manning won his fourth NFL MVP in 2009, and seems to still be at the top of his game, despite all of the time off at the end of the regular season. These are the playoffs though, and nobody should have counted out these Colts and their heart on both sides of the ball. Now the Colts get to host the winner of the Jets vs. Chargers on Sunday for the right to play in the 2010 Super Bowl.

The 2010 AFC Championship Games is Indianapolis vs. New York or San Diego at 12:00 P.M. PST (3:00 P.M. EST) on Sunday, January 24th. The telecast will be on CBS.

    "Strive for the better". That was some of the saying that goes with the Jets and the Colts. A lot of people have surely thought about how the AFC Championship game is basically Super Bowl III all over again. The New York Jets, versus an established Colts team (albeit the Indianapolis Colts, if you want to nitpick) with a legendary quarterback. This ought to be good - I'd even get payday loans to get to the game. Even Joe Namath is acknowledging the connection - so this should be an epic
    game. The Vikings -Saints game ought to be pretty great too.
