San Diego (AP)— Rex Ryan is on a roll. The rookie coach who declared his team Super Bowl favorites after he figured
out they were still in the playoffs, is just a game away from being hailed for
his psychic powers.
His Jets are still playing.
Rookies Mark Sanchez and Shonn Greene led New York to a stunning 17-14 upset
of San Diego in the divisional playoffs Sunday, each providing a touchdown in
the fourth quarter that marked another Chargers postseason pratfall.The jovial, rotund Ryan isn’t afraid to say what’s on his mind, and his
players are taking his lead as they head into the AFC championship game against Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
“A matchup that probably nobody wanted, but too bad,” Ryan said. “Here we
come!”
