The Colts defeated the Jets 30-17 to earn the fourth trip to the Super Bowl in franchise history. Indianapolis trailed New York by 11 points in the first half, but Peyton Manning rallied his team to a win at Lucas Oil Stadium. "We talked about being patient against these guys," Manning said. "We knew it would be a four-quarter game. They have an excellent defense." Manning went 26-for-39 with 377 yards and three touchdowns.
