Colts running back Dan Herron sparked Indianapolis to its first opening-drive touchdown this season and finished with 141 yards from scrimmage in Sunday's playoff win over Cincinnati. Herron accounted for 58 yards on the opening drive, catching two passes for 26 yards and rushing three times for 32 yards, including hammering in the 2-yard score.
It was Herron's first score since Week 13. He rushed 12 times for 56 yards (4.7 ypc) and caught 10 of 11 targets for 85 yards. His previous high was five catches in Week 12 against Jacksonville.
Herron fumbled twice, losing one, as he continues to struggle with ball security. It was his third lost fumble this season.
Herron will visit the Broncos in next Sunday's divisional playoffs.
