NFL Flashback: Colts Survive Jets To Advance To Superbowl
Peyton Manning threw three touchdown passes as the Indianapolis Colts rallied from an eleven point first half deficit to beat the New York Jets and advance to the Superbowl for the second time in four years. New York held their own in the early going but had no answer for Manning and company in the second half as the Colts scored 17 unanswered points to take the 30-17 victory. Indy will now take on the New Orleans Saints in Superbowl 44 in Miami. It's the fourth trip to the big game in franchise history and, ironically, all four previous appearances have also been in Miami.
The Colts also rewarded NFL football betting enthusiasts who had laid the -7' points with the pointspread victory. The Jets finished their campaign with an 11-8 record against the NFL pointspread. The 47 combined points scored went OVER the posted total of 40. The Colts have now gone OVER in five of their last six contests.
Manning and the Colts didn't have much to say in the week prior to their confrontation with the Jets, which the four time NFL MVP insisted was by design:
"I thought we just kept our mouths shut and went to work this week. We talked about being patient against these guys. We knew it would be a four-quarter game."
Linebacker Gary Brackett added these thoughts:
"We've been here before, we had seven comeback wins this year. I think the guys were a little rattled at first, I think we took their best shot, but we came back. I think we did a great job of being the hunters and imposing our will today."
Indy head coach Jim Caldwell was pleased with his team's resolve despite their slow start:
"The guys have always been a very confident bunch and they do a great job of hanging in there. Peyton had just an outstanding game. He's one of those guys that can adjust to different situations. ... A real champion."
Jets' coach Rex Ryan sounded a philosophical note in defeat:
"Today wasn't our day. There's no question. You have to give credit to the Colts. Obviously they're the cream of the crop right now.
