Little did Rex Ryan know that when he joked about wanting the Indianapolis Colts to rest their starters for this game, that he’d get his wish.
With Peyton Manning and a handful of other key players standing on the sideline for most of the second half, the New York Jets made their coach’s Christmas wish come true. They ended the Colts’ pursuit of perfection and their NFL-record 23-game winning streak with a 29-15
victory Sunday.
Fans booed lustily, but Manning defended coach Jim Caldwell’s game plan.
