Andrew Luck has said that he is "proud" to be part of the Indianapolis Colts following their comeback win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL playoffs.
The AFC South champions fought back from a 28-point deficit to beat the visitors 45-44, ensuring their progress to the divisional round of the post-season.
The 24-year-old quarterback told the team's official website: "So happy we won, so proud to be a part of this team.
"[I] felt like for a moment there I was trying to lose the game for us. [I'm] happy that the coaches, players stuck by me and trusted in me. [I'm] thankful we could pull it out.
"I'll say one thing, this team has never panicked since I've been a part of this club. They've never panicked in any game we've been a part of, up big, down big, close game, first quarter, fourth quarter. These guys just play football."
The Colts will face either the New England Patriots or the Denver Broncos next weekend, depending on the result of today's game between the San Diego Chargers and Cincinnati Bengals.
