In a rematch of last year's AFC Championship Game, Andrew Luck and the first-place Indianapolis Colts (AFC South, 3-2) host Tom Brady and the first-place New England Patriots (AFC East, 4-0) at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind., on NBC's Sunday Night Football. Coverage begins with FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA - the most-watched weekly studio show in sports - at 7 p.m. ET.

The Colts have racked up three consecutive victories heading into their game against the undefeated Patriots at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Colts and Patriots will face each other this Sunday for the 80th time overall, and the 12th time in the past 10 seasons. Both teams have qualified for the playoffs in 11 of the past 12 seasons, including last season, when the Patriots defeated the Colts 45-7 in the AFC Championship Game and went on to win SUPER BOWL XLIX.

Calling Patriots-Colts are seven-time Emmy Award-winner Al Michaels (play-by-play), in his record 30th season as THE VOICE of the NFL's premier primetime package; 16-time Emmy Award-winner Cris Collinsworth, who has won the Emmy for Outstanding Event Analyst in each of his six seasons in the SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL booth; and two-time Emmy Award-winning sideline reporter Michele Tafoya.

NBC's coverage of SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL is led by Emmy Award-winning producer Fred Gaudelli and Emmy Award-winning director Drew Esocoff.

Football Night in America, the most-watched studio show in sports, is hosted by 26-time Emmy Award-winner Bob Costas, who will report from Lucas Oil Stadium. Costas will be joined on site by Collinsworth, Tafoya, and two-time SUPER BOWL winner Hines Ward.

Dan Patrick co-hosts Football Night from NBC Sports Group's International Broadcast Center in Stamford, Conn., joined by Super Bowl-winning head coach Tony Dungy, two-time SUPER BOWL winner Rodney Harrison, Mike Florio of PRO FOOTBALL TALK on NBCSN and NBCSports.com, and NFL Insider Peter King. Paul Burmeister will report from CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Wash., on the Panthers-Seahawks game.
