NY Jets coach Rex Ryan should be given credit for not giving up on his team and he firmly believes that the Jets are capable of beating anyone in their path towards Super Bowl glory. He has protected rookie QB Mark Sanchez all season by imploring a run-based offensive sets. Also, the Jets defensive scheme was successfully retooled and it was quite evident during the playoffs.

Their main mission is to stop Manning to find his groove and derail him orchestrate the offensive plays of the Colts.
