biggest comeback in NFL playoff history when the Colts erased a 28-point third quarter deficit – the only playoff game where a team came back from further down was the Bills–Oilers game from January 1993 which has become known simply as "The Comeback." It was the first time in any NFL game (regular or postseason) that a team won in regulation play (i.e. not overtime) after having trailed by as many as 28 points. The game was also the highest scoring postseason game to have been decided by a one-point margin as well as the first game in league history to finish with a 45–44 result. The Colts and Chiefs combined for 1,049 total yards which established a new single-game postseason record, breaking the record of 1,038 yards that was set by the Bills–Dolphins first-round game on December 30, 1995, and matched in a Saints–Lions first-round matchup on January 7, 2012. The Chiefs' eighth consecutive postseason loss broke the NFL record the franchise had previously shared with the Lions. Division weekend Patriots quarterback Tom Brady eclipsed Brett Favre's record for most playoff starts by a quarterback with his 25th postseason start. He also extended his own record for playoff victories by a starting quarterback to 18. Patriots coach Bill Belichick moved into a second-place tie with Don Shula on the all-time postseason head coaching wins list, one victory behind Tom Landry. Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount scored four rushing touchdowns, placing him second all time to Ricky Watters (who ran for five touchdowns in a 1994 game) in both rushing as well as total touchdowns in a playoff game. With 166 rushing yards, Blount became the first player in NFL history to rush for at least 125 yards and four touchdowns in a postseason game. The 49ers defeated the Panthers to reach the franchise's third straight and 15th overall Conference Championship game, matching the Pittsburgh Steelers for most Conference Championship appearances. Jim Harbaugh became the first head coach in NFL history to take his team to the Conference Championship game in each of his first three seasons. Championship weekend With the Broncos 26–16 victory over the Patriots, John Fox became the sixth head coach in NFL history to lead two different franchises to the Super Bowl. He previously coached the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII. Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning recorded his third career postseason game with 400 or more
