Colts lose their first game of the year Aaron Wilson
Now that the Indianapolis Colts have exited the ranks of the undefeated with their loss to the New York Jets, the 1972 Miami Dolphins don't have to worry about anyone threatening their record of dominance.
Of course, the Colts would have had a good chance at winning Sunday's game if not for the organization's decision to rest quarterback Peyton Manning in the second half.
That won't make the traditional champagne popped by the Dolphins' old guard any less sweet.
“While the Jets win today ended Indianapolis’ streak and showed once again how difficult it is to go undefeated, I want to congratulate the Colts on a great run," former Dolphins coach Don Shula said in a statement. "Peyton Manning proved once again this season why he is one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFL and it was certainly no surprise to see him lead the Colts to a NFL record 23 straight victories. I have the utmost respect for Peyton and his teammates, Bill Polian, and the entire Colts organization, who have once again put together an outstanding season.”

This is such a tired old story. It's like watching your local news: you know they'll do a story about travel the day before Thanksgiving; shopping the day after Thanksgiving; visit with Punxsutawney Phil on Groundhog Day. Last unbeaten team loses, Don Shula comes out of hiding and some reporter wastes his time rehashing the NFL equivalent of Groundhog Day.
Wow Pete Pecker, get a life! It sounds like someone is jealous, are you a Colts fan. just go rub one off and you will feel better!
As a dolphins fan you hear it even more. I agree with packer pete. It's like beating a dead horse.
