“If they want to use whatever happened in Week 16 to motivate them, so be it. For us, it’s the AFC Championship Game now. One more game until the Super Bowl, and they are in our way, so we have to try to get something done.”
As for the brashness of Ryan and the Jets, Freeney said, “They have to do what they have to do. I would be surprised if he didn’t say, ‘I would be shocked if we didn’t win.’ The AFC Championship Game kind of speaks for itself. It doesn’t add any more fuel to it. “It’s kind of already what it is — one more game until the Super Bowl.”
Winning that one more game Sunday against a team the Colts seemed fated to play may not make the story go away. Even winning the Super Bowl might not accomplish the trick, but it would make listening to the debate over what might have been a whole lot easier.
