Rex Ryan and the Jets "are the biggest show in town" posted by Colin Linneweber
The New York Jets Super Bowl aspirations were shredded by the Indianapolis Colts 30-17 Sunday in the AFC Championship Game at Lucas Oil Field in Indiana.
The Jets outplayed the Colts in the first half and they managed to enter intermission with an impressive 17-13 advantage.

We had an awesome year. We came up a little bit short.’ That stuff happens so we’ll rally and bounce back.”
