ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- With Round 2 between the Broncos and Colts looming this Sunday, we took a look back at Denver's playoff-rematch history.

Sunday's game will be the 23rd playoff game the Broncos have drawn against a team they faced in the regular season prior, with Denver going 13-9 in those matchups. At home in such games, the Broncos are a near-perfect 11-1, with the only defeat coming after the 2012 season against the Ravens.

Rematches in the divisional round have been kind to Denver, with nine wins and three losses. Additionally, the Broncos have gone 8-1 when the regular-season matchup came in the first half of the season, as their game against the Colts did this year.

See below for a game-by-game breakdown of every playoff rematch in Broncos history.

THE SKINNY: A 28-3 start in San Diego helped the Broncos to a win in Week 10, but the Chargers bit back late in the season with a 27-20 win on Thursday night in Denver. The Broncos would avenge the loss in the playoffs however, jumping out to a 24-7 lead in the fourth quarter. A late charge from Philip Rivers wasn't enough, as the Broncos sealed the win with the help of a third-and-17 conversion from Peyton Manning to Julius Thomas.

A two-point loss on a last-second field goal in Kansas City helped the Chiefs take the AFC West title, but the Broncos returned in the divisional round and wouldn't be denied. With two 1-yard TDs by Terrell Davis and a fourth-down stop in the waning seconds, the Broncos spoiled the Chiefs' perfect home record and won 14-10.

Despite going in a 21-6 hole in the second quarter, John Elway and the Broncos fought back. They started on their own 2-yard line (sound familiar?) with 2:07 remaining and down 24-23, and Elway converted two fourth downs en route to David Treadwell's game-winning field goal.

John Elway ran for a touchdown and threw one as well, a 48-yarder to Vance Johnson late in the third quarter to take a three-point lead. A sack for a safety by Rulon Jones finished off the win and sent the Broncos to "The Drive" against Cleveland in the AFC Championship.

FIRST MEETING: Week 12 in New York; 16-19 loss

PLAYOFF MEETING: Super Bowl XXI in Pasadena; 20-39 loss

THE SKINNY: Two weeks after "The Drive," the Broncos encountered Phil Simms and the Giants for the Super Bowl. New York had squeaked by Denver in Week 12 at the Meadowlands on the way to a 14-2 season and trailed the Broncos 10-7 in the second quarter of the championship game. Simms' great day (22-of-25 for 268 and three TDs) ultimately took the Giants to victory.

FIRST MEETING: Week 10 in Seattle; 19-27 loss

SECOND MEETING: Week 12 in Denver; 38-27 win

PLAYOFF MEETING: AFC Wild Card in Seattle; 7-31 loss

THE SKINNY: Then division rivals, the Seahawks and Broncos split two regular-season meetings in a three-week span, as each team won its home game. The pair later earned each of the AFC's Wild Card berths and squared off on Christmas Eve in the Kingdome. Rookie QB John Elway replaced Steve DeBerg in the fourth quarter for his playoff debut, completing 10-of-15 passes for 123 yards. Ultimately, three turnovers proved too much for the Broncos to overcome.

PLAYOFF MEETING: AFC Championship in Denver; 20-17 win

THE SKINNY: Ken Stabler's Raiders traded wins with the Broncos in the regular season, as each team won on its rivals' home turf. The reigning Super Bowl Champion Raiders made their fifth-consecutive AFC Championship appearance on New Year's Day in Denver, but couldn't stop the Broncos. Haven Moses caught two TDs, including a 74-yarder in the first quarter, and Denver's D forced three turnovers in a narrow victory.

OPPONENT AND SEASON: Cowboys, 1977

FIRST MEETING: Week 14 in Dallas; 6-14 loss

PLAYOFF MEETING: Super Bowl XII in New Orleans; 10-27 loss

THE SKINNY: In the regular-season finale, with both teams having already locked up the top seeds in their conferences, backup QB Norris Weese played most of the snaps for Denver against Roger Staubach and the Cowboys. Four weeks later, Weese replaced Craig Morton in the Broncos' first Super Bowl appearance and cut the Cowboys' lead to 10 in the third quarter. But a 29-yard touchdown pass on a halfback option proved too much for the Broncos to overcome.
