Last year, Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts advanced to the Super Bowl at the expense of coach Rex Ryan and the upstart New York Jets. Ryan and the Jets have a score to settle at Lucas Oil Stadium -- and, this time, it's personal. In a rematch of last season's AFC championship game, the Jets look to give the Colts a taste of playoff disappointment in a wild-card showdown Saturday night.

AFC Playoffs - Wild Card Weekend :: NFL Post Season 2011

New York (11-5) went on improbable playoff run as the fifth seed last January, and appeared headed for a stunning Super Bowl appearance before Peyton Manning and the Colts (10-6) ended those hopes with a 30-17 win. Manning helped erase an 11-point, second-quarter deficit by throwing three touchdown passes, and Indianapolis dominated the second half by outscoring the Jets 17-0 before losing to New Orleans in the Super Bowl.

Ryan took that defeat personally and the boisterous coach is relishing the chance to return the favor.Ryan has lost twice to Manning and Indianapolis in the playoffs with the other defeat coming as Baltimore's defensive coordinator in 2007. Overall, the Colts are 5-1 against Ryan's defenses, and Manning has 12 scoring passes and two interceptions.

However, this could be Ryan and the Jets' best chance at eliminating Indianapolis, which needed a 43-yard field goal from Adam Vinatieri as time expired to beat Tennessee 23-20 on Sunday and clinch a playoff berth. The Colts won their seventh AFC South title in eight years, reaching the playoffs for a ninth consecutive season to tie Dallas' NFL record.
