The issue is receiving renewed attention after the Indianapolis Colts chose to pull their starters from Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. Entering the game, the Colts, now 14-1, were undefeated but had clinched home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs. Meanwhile, the Jets, now 8-7, were still fighting for a playoff spot. After the Colts pulled Peyton Manning and other first-stringers, the Jets rallied for a 29-15 win, improving their chances in the playoff race. "This is an issue that we have reviewed in the past," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello was quoted as saying in an ESPN.com article to which the AP also contributed. "The position of the competition committee, and affirmed by the clubs, when it was reviewed in 2005 was that 'a team that has clinched its division title has earned the right to rest its starters for the postseason, and that preparing for the postseason is just as important as protecting some other team's playoff opportunity.' That is the current policy." Do you want more interesting?Here is a hot news:
