Perfect Season?

Can the Colts pull off the perfect season?
Will they choke in the playoffs?

Here are the bullets for this week:

Indianapolis (12-0) at Jacksonville (9-3)
* The Colts have won seven of the nine meetings with the Jags, including a hard fought 10-3 battle in Week 2. In that contest, the Colts trailed 3-0 in the fourth quarter, but were able to score 10 points off the Jags defense for the win.
* Indianapolis looks to become just the fourth team in NFL history to start 13-0 (with 1934 Bears, 1972 Dolphins and 1998 Broncos).
* With a win the Colts would tie the franchise record for the most consecutive road wins (7 set in 1968).
* Colts’ RB Edgerrin James has recorded 100+ scrimmage yards in seven of his eight career games vs. the Jaguars. James has also rushed for six touchdowns in his last four road games.
* Indianapolis TE Bryan Fletcher has caught a touchdown pass in three consecutive games.
* Colts’ QB Peyton Manning needs 34 passing yards to record his eighth consecutive 3,000-yard passing season.
* Jacksonville returns home after three consecutive road games (won all three). The Jags have won three straight home games, but have lost eight of their last 11 divisional home contests.
* The Jaguars have outscored their opponents 93-30 in the third quarter this season, scoring in the third frame in each of their 12 contests.
* Jacksonville RB Fred Taylor, who has missed the past two games, has averaged 101 rushing yards in his last six games vs. the Colts.
* Jaguars’ WR Jimmy Smith needs just two receiving yards to become the 13th player in league history to record 12,000 in a career.
