INDIANAPOLIS
-- Nick Folk kicked a 32-yard field goal as time expired Saturday night, giving the New York Jets a 17-16 wild-card playoff victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
New York (12-5) now heads to New England for a third meeting with the Patriots next Sunday.
The Colts (11-6), AFC champions last year over the Jets, believed they had won the game when Adam Vinatieri made a 50-yard field goal, his longest kick since 2008, with 53 seconds left.
But the Jets got a 47-yard kickoff return from Antonio Cromartie, and Mark Sanchez set up Folk's field goal with an 18-yard pass to Braylon Edwards at the Colts' 14. New York called timeout with 3 seconds to go, and Folk hit the winner.
New York's LaDainian Tomlinson rushed 16 times for 82 yards and scored two touchdowns, both on 1-yard runs.
Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning was 18-of-26 passing for 225 yards and one touchdown.
